Questions

What is Gluten?

A meal planner for families where people eat differently. Add everyone you cook for, with their allergies, diets, health conditions and ages, and Gluten plans dinners all of you can eat. When one person needs something different, like no peas or a milder sauce, it tells you what to change on their plate.

Is Gluten AI only for gluten-free eating?

No. We started with gluten-free and kept the name. Gluten also plans for celiac, AIP, Hashimoto’s, low-FODMAP and IBS, GERD, PCOS, low-histamine, alpha-gal, the nine major food allergies, pregnancy, toddlers and picky eaters.

Does it work for picky eaters?

Yes. Add the foods each kid won’t eat, like mushrooms or anything spicy, and Gluten plans around them or tells you when to set their portion aside.

How much does it cost?

Gluten is free to start. Your first week of dinners, every recipe on your table and every check are free, with no trial and no card. Once your table has cooked with Gluten for a few nights, new recipes are Gluten Pro, $4.99 a month. You can also give someone a year of Gluten Pro as a $39.99 gift.

Is Gluten medical advice?

No. Gluten checks recipes against what you tell it, but it doesn’t replace your doctor or dietitian. Always read labels for allergens and cross-contact.

Which devices does it work on?

iPhone, Android and the web. Your family and your plan sync between them.
