Find Gluten Free Foods & Restaurants on Your Cellphone

Imagine this. You are out about town or you are cruising around a new town or area of town that you don’t know very well…… and suddenly you have to eat!

You reach for your blackberry, cell phone or any other web-enabled device, dial up this website at http://www.celiacsociety.com/ and go to their PDA/WPA search page to find a GF restuarant that you can actually eat in your town! (No need for an app or iphone!…yeah!)

This is awesome. It’s enough to make me want to pay the extra for getting internet access on my cellphone!

The search has a drop down menu of many chain restaurants and the results show which menu items are gluten free and which are not.

This is so helpful for those chain places that don’t have a clue when they hear the word ‘gluten.’

Granted, I still won’t eat at many chains for fear of cross contamination but, if in a pinch….this is definetly a great feature.

Not only can you search restaurants, you can search while shopping at your local grocery stores. You can search according to a food type, like chocolate. The results show you which brands are okay and which are not.

You can also search by manufacturer using thier drop down list of some brands. This is a not a huge list but it is helpful. I was surprised to see that they have a very incomplete list of  Trader Joe’s GF foods but it is a volunteer website so this can change.

And the BEST FEATURE is that you can register free for the site. Once registered, each time you search you can add items to your own personal shopping list that you can print and have with you at all times! Very cool.

PLease Note: Most of the results are over a year old. You will find the date of the last update just under the search results.
