Gutleaf is a simple, private logging app for anyone living with celiac disease — whether you're tracking yourself or helping someone you care for. Instead of scattered notes, keep food, symptoms, and bathroom trips in one place — and hand your doctor a clear summary at your next visit. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log meals in seconds — what you ate, where it came from, and whether you suspect gluten or cross-contamination. • Note reactions — pick from common symptoms (stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, rash, and more), set a severity, and note how long after eating they started. • Track bathroom trips with the Bristol Stool Scale (types 1–7), the same scale clinicians use. • Forgot to log yesterday? Backdate any entry to the right day and time. • See a daily dashboard: meals, pee, poop, average stool type, and whether any reactions happened. • Long-press any entry to flag a "glutening day" so it stands out in your report. • Generate a clean PDF report for any date range — with a per-week note on how confident you were that the diet stayed gluten-free — and share it with your doctor. WORKS FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY Track your own celiac diet, or keep a log for a child or family member. Simple enough for everyday use, detailed enough for the doctor's office. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything stays on your device. There is no account and no server storing your log. • No location is ever collected. No ads. No third-party tracking. • A report only leaves your phone when you choose to share it. A LOGGING TOOL, NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Gutleaf helps you keep records and spot patterns to discuss with your healthcare provider. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and is not a substitute for professional medical care.

Celiac Collective was built by a registered nurse who lives with celiac disease, for everything that comes after the diagnosis. A diagnosis can answer one big question while creating a hundred new ones. How do you order at a restaurant? What actually matters on a food label? How do you explain cross-contact to someone who thinks “just a crumb” is no big deal? Celiac Collective helps you navigate the everyday reality of living with celiac disease, with practical tools, trustworthy information, and a community that gets it. WHAT’S INSIDE: Daily tracker: Log how you’re feeling in under a minute, including symptom severity, energy, specific symptoms, and what you ate. Over time, your entries can help you spot patterns and give you something concrete to discuss with your care team. Community: Connect with people who understand the things that can be hard to explain to everyone else. Share wins, ask questions, vent, and talk about the everyday situations that come with living gluten-free. Eating out: Explore nearby restaurants and see what each venue says about its gluten-free options, along with reports from the community. Celiac Collective gives you information to investigate further, but never declares a restaurant safe. No app can see what is happening inside a kitchen. Flare tools: A calmer place to land when symptoms spike, with gentle meal ideas, practical self-care tools, community support, and easy access to crisis resources when you need them. Learn: Plain-language guides covering cross-contact, food labels, conversations with doctors, eating out, and the practical realities of living with celiac disease. Resource library: A curated collection of trusted organizations, educational resources, and support services for the celiac community. WITH PREMIUM Unlimited Celiac AI: Ask questions about ingredients, labels, celiac disease, and related topics, then get a plain-language educational response backed by cited sources. Celiac AI can explain what an ingredient is, help you understand a label, and summarize what reputable sources say. It will never tell you that a specific food is safe for you. Ingredients can change, cross-contact cannot be determined from a label, and that decision should never come from a chatbot. Registered nurse support: Message a real registered nurse who also lives with celiac disease for practical, peer-based support. Food scanner: Scan a product barcode to review its ingredient list against known gluten-containing ingredients. Anything that deserves a closer look is flagged and explained so you know what to investigate further. WHAT CELIAC COLLECTIVE WILL NOT DO Celiac Collective will not tell you that a specific food is safe. It will not tell you that a restaurant is safe. It gives you context, explains what matters, shows you the sources, and leaves the final decision with you. Celiac Collective provides education and peer support, not medical care. Nothing in the app is a diagnosis, treatment plan, or substitute for advice from your healthcare team. The core app is free. Premium is $9.99/month or $99/year.
