The Best Celiac App
I’m so tired of the gluten tax
I love this app!
One of the most useful parts is the dining section—it gives clear advice on how to navigate restaurant menus, plus tips for talking to staff about gluten-free needs. There are even dining cards in different languages, which is amazing if you’re traveling.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or just looking for reliable gluten-free tools, this app really makes things easier and less stressful. It’s a thoughtful, well-designed resource that I’d recommend to anyone navigating celiac disease or supporting someone who is.
Less overwhelm/more confidence
SO much knowledge in an app
Makes life easy!
So Helpful
Great tool
One bit of advice, check with your flex spending account manager to see if you can get the cost of the subscription covered under your flexible spending account. Some FSA account managers will allow medical based apps to be covered under flex spending if you have a note from your doctor.
APP DOES NOT WORK!
Not user friendly
Charged but can’t get in
If you don’t pay you get nothing
Being gluten free is already so expensive and as a college student I don’t have the money to afford a subscription. All I have access to is knowing what at California kitchen and Cava is gluten free or how to asks restaurants if the food is gluten free. If you don’t pay you only get the coeliac card in English for restaurants (thanks but I mostly need it for travelling in countries that don’t understand English well) And unless the only food you need to buy are cough drops, candies, bars, beer or baking supplies you need to pay for the rest.
Although I will admit the form to email to hotels to ask them about gluten free options is helpful but you can’t acces the transport or planning option in the travel section.
They say you won’t need to use google anymore but put 85% of the information is locked behind a pay wall ( 27 free options out of 170)
Maybe my expectations for this app were too high but I’m honestly disappointed. All this information can be found on google for free. I wad just happy to find all this free information in one place for easy access but i have to pay 80$ a year or 10$ a month for it. Over all not worth it and very disappointed.
Don’t get it.
Caution advised for restaurant information
Cross contamination is not a minor issue; it's a matter of serious health concern. The casual manner in which this app addresses it is alarming. The recommendations seem to disregard the fundamental needs of its target audience, thereby providing dangerously inaccurate information. They should be educated as to why they should be avoided, and all the things that can and do go wrong trying to order fast food as a celiac at these establishments.
I had hoped this app would be a beacon of support, guiding users to safe dining experiences. Instead, it feels like a misguided attempt that trivializes the seriousness of celiac disease. It's imperative for the developers to understand that when it comes to health, accuracy and safety cannot be compromised. Revising the restaurant recommendations to include truly gluten-free establishments is crucial. Instead of promoting fast food places you should be exposing the false hope they give to new celiacs trying to navigate their disease. Asking restaurant employees for a gluten free bun or just changing their gloves does not make you safe.
In its current form, I cannot recommend this app to others in the celiac community. I urge the developers to take this feedback seriously and make significant changes. Accurate information and safe dining options are not just preferences; they are necessities. Five Guys, Wendy’s, and Chipotle, amongst many others come with severe risks and promoting them in any way other than that is a danger to the community.
