Necessary

I have been using this app for a year and I love it. I have celiac disease and I bought a lifetime subscription for the app. I use it for every road trip I go on (4 a year!) It's accurate and we have found hidden gems on the app! You can see what restaurants are on your route to plan your meals.

The Dude Abides

The Dude knows what’s what when it comes to eating safely with celiac disease. This has had been an invaluable resource for me as I’ve begun my journey with celiac and still want to enjoy food.

The most valuable part for me are the vetting notes - in which The Dude shares why a restaurant is on the app. I’ve learned more through this app about how to stay safe than any other resource.

I highly recommend this app for anyone with celiac or who needs to eat gluten free. Yeah, well, I know, that’s just, like my opinion, man. But it’ll be your option too when you get the app.

Best GF App Ever!

This app is worth every penny! Truly saved the day so many times while traveling and the restaurant picks are so good even my non-GF family was asking for what this app was called so they can use it to find delicious meals! I have never gotten sick (knock on wood) at a place that was listed on this app. GlutenDude does not mess around with his vetting and I appreciate his thoroughness and transparency with every listing! Don’t even hesitate downloading this app, it’s a game changer!

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.
