Best app ever

I can’t recommend this app enough! My husband and I travel a lot for his job. This app has saved me the guess work more times than I can count when out of state. Thank you Scott for the amazing hard work you pour into this app. It has been such a blessing!

My favorite GF App

This is the best GF app I have used yet. I love how they reach out to restaurants for you to do the research. Highly recommend for anyone with Celiac

Reliable, Vetted, Safe, and Helpful

This App is the single best gluten free app on the market. All of the restaurants are vetted to verify it’s safe for Celiacs. No guessing. They do the research for you. This app has helped my family eat safely all over the country and even in airports while traveling. Gluten Dude has developed an app that truly is a safe and helpful resource for the Celiac community. Thank you Gluten Dude!

Love this app!

The latest massive update has been great! Keep it up! I travel a lot in the US and appreciate it, even if it only lists 1 or 2 vetted options sometimes. It’s more knowledge than i had before and i appreciate the effort. I can always call ahead and see if the restaurants are still open, and report in if they aren’t, or if i find another place that isn’t listed i can report it. Love the fact that i can interact through Facebook so he can keep the app updated as much as possible. Love that many sites have been vetted to ask about protocols, which makes one feel better about eating out. This developer has full celiac and understands the fear of eating out. Great app! Loved the lifetime subscription as i get all the updates included. I do feel as if im getting my moneys worth. Thanks!

Response from developer

I appreciate it (and you). We research/vet/add restaurants on a daily basis so much more to come.

Useful and Trustworthy

This is one of the very few apps I pay for and it is worth it! For someone, like me, who has to have no gluten including potential cross contamination, being able to find safe places to eat while on the road or at the airport is the difference between going out eat or going to the grocery store and “dining” on sandwich meat and rice crackers. Thank you!!!!!!

FAQ

What does Gluten Dude do?

Gluten Dude is a mobile application designed to help individuals with celiac disease and gluten intolerance find safe dining options. It offers personally researched restaurant listings with detailed notes on cross-contamination practices, filters restaurants by safety level, and includes travel planning tools and exclusive discounts.

How are the restaurant listings verified?

Unlike other apps that rely on crowdsourced information, every restaurant listing in Gluten Dude is personally researched by the app's creator for cross-contamination practices. This includes direct notes from the kitchen about prep practices and shared equipment, providing a higher level of trust for users.

What are the different safety levels for restaurants?

Restaurants are filtered by safety level: '100% Gluten-Free' indicates dedicated gluten-free kitchens with no cross-contamination risk. 'Dude Vetted' means the restaurant was personally researched with kitchen notes. 'User Suggested' are researched places with a strong community track record. 'Chains' are chains consistently rated highly by the celiac and gluten-sensitive community.

Does the app help with travel?

Yes, the app includes several travel tools. There's a driving trip planner to find gluten-free restaurants along your route, an airport dining guide with safe options at over 100 airports worldwide organized by terminal, and destination planning tools to research gluten-free travel options before you leave home.

Is there a cost to use Gluten Dude?

The app is free to download and use, offering access to restaurant listings, travel tools, and discounts. However, it does have in-app purchases, which may unlock additional features or premium content.
