Hi everybody,
I am coeliac, and I live in Germany.
In December I will be spendig some time in New Zealand and in Australia. I will be in Auckland and in Melbourne, and I need some information about gluten free living there.
Which are in New Zealand and Australia the gluten free processed foods that one can buy at the supermarket? Are for instance cheese, natural yogurt, milk, ham, jam, tuna, canned vegetables or fruits containing only water, salt or sugar always gluten free? I am asking about the processed food you can buy without looking up in the food list, which I won't have. I am also looking for food that doesn't need cooking, since I will have to prepare a packet lunch for me every day, and I don't think I will be able to cook.
Can you recommend restaurants in Auckland and Melbourne that serve gluten free food or that are at least friendly with coeliacs?
Are there typical foods from New Zealand and Australia that coeliacs can eat?
I will be taking with me gluten free supplies (bread, crackers, etc.) and a medical certificate. Do I have to declare these products entering New Zealand and Australia, or should I better not mention them and show the medical certificate only if required?
I will be flying with Emirates and ordered gluten free meals on board. Is the company reliable on this point? Sometimes you hear about coeliac passengers fasting or getting normal bread presented as gluten free. I hope this is not the case for Emirates. Has anyone had experience with this company?
I will also appreciate any kind of suggestions regarding gf in Australia, New Zealand and gf during long flights.
Thank you very much for your help.
