www.facebook.com/GlutenFreeGrocerNZ

www.mfd.co.nz
This is the place you visit before your trip to the supermarket. Although we offer a fantastic range of gluten free specialty items, we don't offer everything that's gluten free simply because there are many products out there that are often gluten free. Don't take what's on the MFD as gospel. It is a companies responsibility to update the MFD if they make any changes to their products ingredients, and sometimes they forget. Equally, there are many gluten free products not on the MFD as many companies may not be aware of it. But it is a great starting point, and can save you reading a lot of labels at the store.
www.gobble.co.nz
If you're looking for gluten free catering, this is the place to go. Gobble has both a regular kitchen and a gluten free kitchen on their premises, so there is no risk of cross contamination. Most of the team in the kitchen are gluten free themselves, so have a good understanding of how to create tasty and safe gluten free options.
www.coeliac.org.nz
If you've been diagnosed with Coeliacs disease this is the first port of call for finding information on your illness. It's also a great place to go to if you think you or someone you know may have Coeliacs disease. The Coeliac Society are a not-for-profit organisation who help those diagnosed with Coeliacs, or medically required to be on a gluten free diet for other reasons.
