The Challenge: Locating gluten-free beer
The Truth: Beer, sadly, is not gluten-free. The most popular "gluten-free" beers on the market today are actually "gluten-removed" and are not safe to drink for those with celiac disease. There are a handful of amazing 100% gluten-free beers out there, but they can be difficult to find.
The GD Solution: A directory of more than 17,000 stores, bars and restaurants around the world where you can purchase gluten-free beer, with contact into and directions.
The Challenge: Connecting with other people who "get it"
The Truth: One of the hardest things about living with celiac is that it is so misunderstood and it can be a lonely disease.
The GD Solution: Connect you with others in the celiac/GF community with private chats. You’ll even have the option of providing your zip code, allowing you to search for others by location. You can reach out when traveling to a new town and get local help, make new friends in your own area, plan GF play-dates with other parents of GF kids, etc.
The Challenge: Getting the right info to help you on your journey
The Truth: The internet is littered with falsehoods and fear-mongering when it comes to celiac disease. You deserve to get accurate information.
The GD Solution: A forum where you can post questions, get answers, and also find the latest and greatest information regarding the best vacation spots, hotels, stadiums/arenas, and more.
