Celicidad. Comer sin gluten Blog info

Celicidad App is a free app that allows you to locate more than 1,900 restaurants with gluten-free options in Spain. The application contains the location of each one, their basic data (address, phone number, website, etc.), as well as other interesting specifications for celiacs, such as the type of food, the price ranking, whether they have bread, beer, a gluten-free menu, desserts, or whether they have received training from one of the celiac associations that work in Spain.

In this way, and thanks to the Celicidad App, celiacs can go out to eat at home with peace of mind, discovering new places and enjoying themselves without the risk of contamination. In addition, the profile of each restaurant includes images of the establishment's most representative dishes and allows registered users (free registration) to rate and comment on their experience at the restaurant.

One of the most useful features of the App is that it performs searches based on the user's location, so they can find out which gluten-free options are closest to where they are. It also has the option of navigation linked to the mobile's GPS, so they only have to select the gluten-free restaurant they want to go to, and the navigation system will guide them to their destination.

The Celicidad team, formed by a large number of celiacs, updates the App weekly, meaning that the number of gluten-free restaurants increases over time. But Celicidad is much more than an app, it is an environment specialising in celiac disease, gluten-free diets and gluten-free restaurants. All of its information and projects can be found at www.celicidad.net.

Gluten Free Diet

Celiac disease is a chronic, autoimmune and multisystemic disease caused by gluten intolerance. It occurs in individuals with a genetic predisposition whose immune system reacts to receiving gluten. Gluten is a protein present in cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and their derivatives. Oats are also considered a cereal with gluten even though they do not naturally contain gluten, but they usually reach the market contaminated. The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet, and this involves giving up all foods that contain gluten or have been contaminated with gluten during their production process. Eating out is therefore an activity that entails a certain risk due to the lack of knowledge on the part of the restaurant sector of the gluten-free diet. In addition to gluten-free cooking and cooking for celiac disease, restaurateurs must be able to guarantee the total absence of cross-contamination when preparing gluten-free dishes.
