I hope my fellow Christchurch coeliacs are all safe and have plenty of GF food.
It's times like these that we are reminded how important it is to have a stock of non-perishable gluten free food.

Wellington Gluten Free Allergy Expo
The Gluten Free Food & allergy show is coming to Wellington this weekend.
The event is being held at the TSB Arena on the 28th and 29th of August and is well worth a look, especially if you've never been to one of these before. Gluten Free manufacturers will have loads of food to sample and heaps of special deals available only on the day. For more information on this event, see the gluten free allergy show website.

Christchurch Gluten Free Expo
This weekend there is a gluten free expo in Christchurch on Saturday the 8th of May.
The expo is an annual event put on by a local supermarket with the small entry fee going towards coeliac disease research. The show hosts literally dozens of local gluten free producers who bring along loads of free samples to try -you won't be requiring lunch if you go!
If you're in Christchurch and have never been, I thoroughly recommend going along. In addition to the free samples, most of the exhibitors offer massive discounts on the day. I know a number of people who go along to stock up their pantries with gluten free goodies!
The event is at the Addington Raceway Metropollitan Lounge from 10am - 4pm. For more info, see the FreshChoice Gluten Free expo website.
[Update:]A different event, the Gluten Free Food and allergy show is being held in Auckland on the 29th and 30th of May at the ASB Showgrounds. Information on this event is available here
This second event will also be coming to Wellington and Christchurch later in the year but we will remind you closer to the time.

New Zealand: Gluten Free capital of the world?
Could it be that New Zealand is the most clued up country in the world when it comes to gluten? Or do we just turn to the web for anything we don't understand?
I have discovered that Google trends, a tool which gauges what people are searching for on Google is showing New Zealand as the top country per capita when it comes to searching for either the terms "Gluten" or "Gluten Free"!
