The Insides Guide

The Insides Guide

Elly McKenzie is a food scientist, coeliac for over 20 years, and mum to three children — two with a mix of gluten, dairy and soy intolerances.

Inspired by my family’s journey, I'm on a mission to help people of all ages navigate life with coeliac disease, gluten intolerance and dairy intolerance.

If you spend hours searching the internet for information, are confused about what your next steps should be, or are struggling to be diagnosed, then get in touch. Whether it’s in person or remotely, I can provide accurate information, insider knowledge and practical, personalised tips to set you on the right track — you don't have to do this alone!

For thousands of New Zealanders living with gluten and dairy intolerance — and the thousands living undiagnosed — the long- and short-term effects on the mind and body can be severe. That’s why I’m so driven to provide much-needed education and support.

I spent years working as a food scientist for companies including Fonterra, Comvita and Yoplait Dairy Crest. I have first-hand experience developing foods and writing food labels. Today, I'm bringing that in-depth personal and professional knowledge and expertise to my Tauranga-based practice, helping people all over New Zealand and Australia to live well with coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or dairy intolerance.
