Yes, I have the "Is that Gluten Free" application. It's very helpful. It doesn't have everyting I have looked for but it's a good basic guide for you when you're at the grocery store.

My husband downloaded "Is That Gluten Free?" yesterday for me, and it is great!

It has a list of ingredients that are gluten-free, and the ones that are not (identified by a big red "X"), so I don't have to memorize the huge pharmaceutical list. It also has a category of items by brands, such as "Cheetos", "Skittles", or "Classico" pasta sauces. Once you find the item it also has and "i" for "more info" on that item. You can also search items by common name, such as "beer" or "cheese" for instance, and it will list those beers or cheeses that are gluten-free, and then you can shop based on the names it lists.

It will be a life-saver at the grocery store. I have already used it to look at stuff I already have here on our shelves at home. Definitely worth it. All the updates are going to be free, so it is a one-time fee for the initial download.

Does this App have to be connected to the internet to use it?

I have an iPod Touch, but no iPhone. I guess there is a chance some grocery stores have a cafe and wifi.

It says on the download page that no internet connectivity is needed to use its database. Instead it uses the internet to update the database.

Anyway, it's $6. I'm getting it for myself.

I hadn't heard of this and went to get more info, but my computer keeps freezing up at the Apple website (maybe because I don't have an Apple computer and they KNOW.) Is there restaurant info or just grocery store type stuff?

      Gluten Transfer from Biodegradable Tableware: What a New Study Found and Why It Matters (+Video)

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Our understanding of that is very incomplete at this time. There are theories and it seems to involve multiple factors. We know there is a genetic component but that is far from the total answer since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only 1% actually does. Other suspects are the indiscriminate use of antibiotics...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
