Gluten Free Iphone Apps

As an iPhone user, I am seeing some solid Gluten Free Apps that make life a lot easier for those with gluten sensitivities, celiac, etc. For grocery shopping, "Is That Gluten Free?" has a pretty substantial list, is very informative and is not as expensive as other apps like the Celiac SmartList. For restaurants, "I Eat Out Gluten and Allergen Free" seems to be a great choice. If you want to check them out and have an iPhone, just search the name or search gluten in the App Store. Now if I could only find a gluten-free bread that my son likes to eat...I'd be happy!

I am getting an iPhone just for the gluten apps! Can you please tell me where you find the apps? I'm not sure what the App Store is. Thanks!

When you get an iPhone, there are two ways to access all of the available applications: (1) In the iTunes store (on your computer) there is a section called "App Store" which contains all of the apps that can be searched and purchased; (2) On your iPhone, there is an icon for the App store which lets you search and access all of the apps as well. There are many resources for gluten free...the ones I have listed above are great!

So far, all the apps I have downloaded for my iPhone have been gluten free. I haven't been glutened by a single one!

(sorry, I just couldn't resist) ;)

As many nice Iphone apps that are out there the one thing that is not out there is a good restaurant finder that will show restaurants will menus (not just fast food i am aware of the iEatOut app its only fast food) and rate the quality of those restaurants as we all know just because they have a menu does not mean they are necessarily good. I find some large cities have apps but what about the rest of the country we don't all live in New York. While I happen to be a database person that could make the database of the restaurants, menus, and ratings.. it is not a one person project. I would love to know if there are others out there that would desire a searchable restaurant app that would be willing to do things like rate restaurants in there areas around the country. And any programmers that can help program the app portion. I have contacts that are even willing to help find grants to help fund the costs of creating the programming but the labor and passion is important. In the past when this has been brought up on other boards people have said 'yes great' but not a lot of people saying they would actually want to use it or help with it. So looking for peoples ideas, thoughts, and if there are any volunteers. :) Thanks. PS I think the app should be free to the public if at all possible we have to pay enough extra for our food we shouldn't have to pay to find it. :)

Thanks

Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
