Why I Created This App (And Why It Matters)
My name is Scott and I have been a passionate celiac advocate since 2011, after my dreaded diagnosis in 2007. If you've ever read my blog, you know that my focus always has been and always will be to do what is in the best interests of the celiac community.
To that end, I'd like to share something very important with you: Regardless of what other apps may tell you, there is no such thing as a "celiac-friendly" or "gluten-free friendly" restaurant. It's just marketing BS that is designed to boost sales by giving celiacs a false sense of security.
Here's the truth: The only guaranteed safe meal for people with celiac disease is at a 100% gluten-free restaurant. Period. Every other restaurant carries some cross-contamination risks. The key is finding restaurants that understand these risks and actively work to minimize them.
And that's why I created this app...to help you find those restaurants. We take the time to thoroughly vet every single restaurant we list. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just honest assessments of cross-contamination protocols.
Because unlike other apps that prioritize the quantity of listings, we prioritize your health. We understand what's at stake - your wellbeing, your peace of mind, and your ability to enjoy life.
While we can't make dining completely risk-free, we can help you make more informed choices.
Questions? You can email me at scott@glutendude.app or text me at (929) 431-0035. I aim to please. 🙂
Exclusively for You: Benefits You Won't Find Elsewhere
Developed by a long-time celiac advocate and trusted by thousands, the Gluten Dude app is here to support your gluten-free journey, making it easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
Safety for Peace of Mind
I can’t even begin to describe how much I appreciate this app. So many people on random website say things are “safely gluten free,” even with shared fryers and other decidedly unsafe practices. The care Gluten Dude puts in to separating 100% GF/celiac-safe recommendations vs places that take precautions but are shared is a game changer. Well worth the money and a GREAT way to explore GF destinations around the world!
The BEST Resource for GF Folks
Unlike others, Gluten Dude and his team are committed to evaluating and honestly publishing the details of GF abilities at establishments. Their dedication to the GF community is amazing. This app is my go to for safe places to eat and drink. And everyone I share the app with loves it. If you haven’t tried it, you are missing out on a world of dining possibilities vetted by a team that knows what GF means and tells it like it is.
A Very Important App
I love this app for its commitment to the Celiac community and quality of information it provides. It’s super easy to find a good place to eat, whether you are at home or traveling. I’ve been a follower of Gluten Dude for a long time and saw how much work went into this app. Worth every penny!
Best App for the Celiac Community!
This app by far has been the best tool in our arsenal for navigating safe food options, both close to home and while traveling. The recent addition of airports, plus the regular new restaurants have especially helped my teen while traveling without us. Gluten Dude has a reputation in the Celiac community for telling it like it is, and not doing what’s “popular.” We appreciate his candor, and commitment to making this app the best it can be.
No Hidden Agenda
This app is run by a fellow celiac who doesn’t take endorsements from corporations or products, like many others, which keeps reviews and information honest. Gluten Dude understands the daily struggles we have and created the app to help others with their #celiaclife. Updates are frequent and new restaurants are often added and users alerted. I have other gf apps too but this one is the GOLD STANDARD! A must have for all celiacs.
Favorite App for Finding GF Food!
I have celiac, and it can be tough to rely on reviews of gluten free options at different restaurants. I really appreciate this app’s clear levels for safety — dedicated gluten free, vetted by the app team, and user suggested. With that, you can see at a glance which restaurants are likely the most safe for you, and you can even filter out the levels you’re not comfortable with. This app is my first stop when looking for a safe restaurant, and I highly recommend it!
Safety Vetting Worth Every Penny
Eating at restaurants and traveling with Celiac disease is difficult and nerve-wracking. There’s no substitute for rigorous investigation from someone more socially comfortable asking pointed questions than I am. Such vetting must have costs if being done well, and I’d much rather help pay for that directly than I would have them rely on ads or other incentive-distorting business models.
My Favorite Gluten Free App!
I cannot say enough good things about this app. It has helped me so much when I travel and am not familiar with the area. I have used the airport list as well which really helps when you are in a huge airport and are rushing to find food. I REALLY appreciate that Scott vets the restaurants for safety. It gives that peace of mind necessary to be able to enjoy a meal out. Thank you, Gluten Dude!
Helping Me Travel
This app helps me plan my travels. I have to know ahead whether I need to cook my own meals, or if I will be able to eat out safely. I have celiac disease and multiple other food sensitivities, and I appreciate knowing how thoroughly places have been checked for possible gluten contamination. From there I can narrow down my personal options. Thanks Gluten Dude!
Trustworthy
This is my go-to app for finding safe places to eat. “Gluten-friendly” restaurants are not safe for people with Celiac and Gluten Dude gets to the truth. Really appreciate the effort. Super helpful app. Bought a lifetime sub so I never have to be without it!
Genuinely Life Changing
This app is genuinely life changing, and that is not an exaggeration. I used to be very anxious when I had to travel and I always worried about whether I’d be able to eat anywhere. Now, because of this app, I really look forward to it because of the chance to try new restaurants. This app is clearly a labor of love for the dude who created it, and it has made me love life, food, and traveling in a whole new way.
Trusting Advocate for Celiac
Finally someone who understands the anxiety and exclusion of having celiac!!!! Thank you Gluten Dude! This app is so much more than a suggestion. It’s a trusted resource for so many of our daily struggles that others take for granted. Being able to find safe food when traveling and knowing we have an advocate and fellow celiac managing it, is priceless.
Most Trustful GF App
As someone with food allergies, I can never rely on other apps or sites where someone says, “It didn’t make me sick, so it must be safe.” With the Gluten Dude app, I trust that he truly vets the restaurant for cross-contamination, dedicated facilities, and safety—this alone alleviates any stress or fears of getting sick or having an allergic reaction to wheat/gluten. I HIGHLY recommend this app.
Absolutely Phenomenal
I am a Celiac and I have struggled for 17 years in my home, at the grocery store, at events, and in restaurants. I finally bought a membership to Gluten Dude and I have to say, it was money well spent. My travels since have gone seamlessly and I could not be more grateful. Thank you, Gluten Dude for this app and all the effort you put forth being a Celiac Warrior. I love you.
Fantastic GF App
This is by far the best GF app out there. Easy to use, tons of restaurants listed and more being added daily. I trust Gluten Dude’s vetting process and have discovered so many great places both locally and when I travel. I use the app all the time and have recommended it to others. Thank you Gluten Dude!
Best Gluten Free App
I have been using the app for a few years now and I absolutely love it! This app makes traveling with celiac so much easier because I can find restaurants that have been vetted or recommended by other people with celiac. I love the ability to recommend places too so other people can find more restaurants all over the world that they can eat safely at.
Amazing Gluten Free App
Having Celiac is no joke. You are constantly searching for a safe place to find reliable information. The Gluten Dude app is my happy place. Not only do you get the information you need to feel safe in this gluten filled world, you get up to date information to guide you on your gluten free journey. Thank you Gluten Dude for helping us through this difficult road to being gluten free in a safe way.
Excellent App for Celiacs
There’s a huge difference between eating out gluten free and eating out with Celiac and this app gets that. For those of us concerned with cross contamination, this app saves you the time of digging and doing all that research first. It’s such a relief to be able to pull the app out wherever I am and be pointed in the right direction. Thank you for creating this!
Most Trustworthy GF App Available
Gluten Dude is by far the most trustworthy source for gluten free people. He has a no nonsense approach to gluten free safety, which is needed by so many with celiac and other diseases. I find that the Gluten Dude app is much more reliable than other apps that find gluten free places. I would give this app 10 stars if I could!!!
What a Blessing
It is such a blessing to finally have a location to view places to eat that my family feels comfortable and confident in trusting! This app has taken some of the anxiety out of traveling. Thank you for all your hard work and time into making this such an amazing app and supporting the Celiac community!
Celiacs Can Trust This App
After following Gluten Dude for almost ten years and being really helped by him after my diagnosis, I know I can actually trust the recommendations on his app. Other apps seem to have taken things like cross-contamination and people with actual celiac diagnoses as an after-thought. The Gluten Dude app really helps me when I travel! I highly recommend it.
Thank you for Being Real
I would like to say thank you for being Real. It is truly refreshing to see an app and person and business operate with true authenticity for the greater good of humans. Everything feels and works like a scam these days and it really clouds the soul. So thank you!
