What is a gluten free diet?
A gluten free diet is an eating plan that excludes foods containing gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and triticale (a cross between wheat and rye). A gluten free diet is essential for managing signs and symptoms of Coeliac disease (also known as celiac disease) and other medical conditions associated with gluten. A gluten free diet is also popular among people who haven't been diagnosed with a gluten related medical condition. The claimed benefits of the diet are improved health, weight loss and increased energy
What is coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. This damages your gut (small intestine) so you are unable to take in nutrients. Coeliac disease can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating. Coeliac disease is caused by an adverse reaction to gluten, which is a dietary protein found in 3 types of cereal:
- wheat
- barley
- rye
Gluten is found in any food that contains those cereals, including:
- pasta
- cakes
- breakfast cereals
- most types of bread
- certain types of sauces
- some ready meals
- In addition, most beers are made from barley.
What causes coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition. This is where the immune system (the body's defence against infection) mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. In coeliac disease, the immune system mistakes substances found inside gluten as a threat to the body and attacks them. This damages the surface of the small bowel (intestines), disrupting the body's ability to take in nutrients from food. It's not entirely clear what causes the immune system to act this way, but a combination of genetics and the environment appear to play a part.
Treating coeliac disease
There's no cure for coeliac disease, but following a gluten free diet should help control symptoms and prevent the long-term complications of the condition. Even if you have mild symptoms, changing your diet is still recommended because continuing to eat gluten can lead to serious complications. This may also be the case if tests show that you have some degree of coeliac disease even if you do not have noticeable symptoms. It's important to ensure that your gluten free diet is healthy and balanced. An increase in the range of available gluten free foods in recent years has made it possible to eat both a healthy and varied gluten-free diet.

Ratings and Reviews
Great, fast and super handy!
Whenever I make my family (who are gluten free) food, I use this app to help me pick the foods around the shop, making it fast and easy.
It saves me reading the small print on the labels aswell!
Amazing
This app works great the best one I have found yet I find it to be very useful when in none English speaking countries although not every product out there is on the app you can add the product very simply
Once again I love this app and have and will continue recommending it to gf friends, and family that shop for food and are concerned of gluterning me!!!
Useful but adverts annoying
The app is very useful to scan items as you shop. Slightly unusual items are often not found, only usual brands - but often M &S items not here. After scanning about 5 products adverts can appear and sometimes you have to wait 20 secs before an x will appear to get rid of it. Annoying! Otherwise very useful and handy to have shopping.
Developer Response ,
Hi Pontypine,
Thank you for your review!
We are adding thousands of new products every day and have just released a new version of the app which allows users to add missing products directly through the app to help the community.
We need adverts to cover our server and business costs, but we are planning to add a subscription offering later this year so users can hide adverts.
Let us know if you have any other feedback :)
Thanks,
Stuart
