Iphone Apps?

I have an older cell phone (no internet- just makes basic calls). Now that I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I am considering getting an iphone so I can get an app that can help identify food when I am out. What apps do you know of? Are they good or do they have problems? Do you think it is worth it? Before I spend all that money, I want to make sure it will be worth it.

Thanks!

Yes. I have "Is that gluten free?" It was $7.99 and put off buying it, but it's been so helpful in the super market. It's probably saved me a lot of money because I don't get something home only to realize it's not safe.

I don't have the restaurant app because most of the restaurants we eat at are not chains. But it might be useful on a road trip.

I use shopwell--it's online as well a an app. You put in your food restrictions and when you are at the store you can scan or type in a food and it will rank it green is ok yellow is caution and red is not the best....if it has gluten it will have a hand in a red circle---you can also look at the ingredient and it highlights what yOu can't have--its a little stricter, meaning it will say a food isn't ok when sometimes it is, but that I better than being the opposite!

I also use Shopwell =) definitely worth getting an iPhone. It's as easy as scanning the bar code!

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
