Gluten App (https://gluten.app) is a web-first gluten-free discovery guide built for celiac-aware decisions, not just reviews. It organizes dedicated gluten-free and celiac-friendly restaurants, bakeries, cafes, shops, airports, landmarks, and travel destinations into structured city guides with safety signals and search-friendly pages.
I am building Gluten App (https://gluten.app) because gluten-free discovery still feels broken.
Most gluten-free discovery tools fall into one of a few buckets: broad maps, review-heavy directories, community maps, or app-first platforms.
Gluten App is different because it is being built as a web-first, structured gluten-free travel and local dining guide.
Instead of only showing places, Gluten App organizes gluten-free and celiac-friendly options by:
• city
• landmark
• airport
• travel destination
• dedicated gluten-free status
• bakery, cafe, restaurant, and shop type
• celiac-relevant safety signals
The goal is not to be another restaurant review app.
The goal is to help people quickly answer:
“Where can I eat gluten-free near me?”
“Which places are dedicated gluten-free?”
“What are the best gluten-free restaurants in this city?”
“Can I find celiac-friendly food near this landmark or airport?”
I’m starting with gluten-free city guides across the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and other travel destinations.
Would love feedback from people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, food allergies, or anyone who has struggled to find reliable gluten-free food while travelling.
Report
I have a dairy allergy along with gluten concerns. Does Gluten App help people find gluten-free and celiac-friendly restaurants while also considering allergy-related needs like dairy-free options or cross-contact questions?
@gabbie_walcott Gluten App is gluten-free first, but it also helps people with dairy allergy, egg allergy, and vegan needs.
It will show whether a gluten-free restaurant, bakery, or cafe is dedicated dairy-free, egg-free, or vegan — or simply offers those options — so people with multiple dietary needs can find safer gluten-free places faster.
Hope that helps and answers your question. Please let me know if any additional details would help or if you have any feature requests.
Nice positioning. Curious – how are you sourcing and validating restaurant data? User submissions, partnerships, or something else? Building something adjacent in the health space and the data-trust problem is everywhere.
@vika_gankova Thanks for asking. We use manual curation, existing restaurant/menu data, user feedback, and city-level checks to decide which places belong in Gluten App.
It is the harder way to build this, but it helps keep the data focused and avoids becoming just another crowd directory.

As a traveler, finding truly safe GF spots is stressful. Does the app rely on user reviews for safety ratings, or does it cross-reference official restaurant menus?
@rivra_dev Thanks for asking.
We verify places ourselves, with or without owner claims, using available restaurant/menu information and other safety signals. User reviews add real-time feedback from actual visits.
When user feedback conflicts with the current safety profile, we review it and update the rating accordingly.
So it is verification-led, with real-world feedback layered in — not “reviews = safety.”

Is it just US based app or will it be open to other countries ?
@kathie_zhu Gluten App is starting with major destinations in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, plus high-travel cities in other countries. The goal is to make gluten-free travel easier internationally, not just in the US.
@andrea_batters Funny you should mention that. Gluten App has this feature planned.
Soon, you’ll be able to search for gluten-free bakeries, cafes, croissants, and other food types — along with whether a place is 100% gluten-free, celiac-friendly, or near your travel destination.
That perfect gluten-free croissant 🥐 with coffee ☕️ should be easier to find.
