UPDATED 2015-10-17 (15 apps already)
Here you have some apps that can make life easier to people with a gluten-free diet. They can help you in the store, in the chemist’s / drugstore, when eating out or even in the kitchen, because this list includes apps for different purposes:
  • Provide the gluten-free manufactured foodstuffs of Spain, by means of a searcher of products and brands, or a bar-code reader.
  • Provide the medicines that contain gluten.
  • Locate the gluten-free friendly bars, restaurants and stores.
  • Translate into other languages the Coeliac / Celiac Card (things that people who is going to prepare and serve your meal should know about the gluten-free diet).
  • Cookbook.
