A short survival guide. You’re not alone — and eating out can feel safe again.
A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming. The first few weeks are often the hardest: learning what to avoid, how to read labels, and how to eat at restaurants without anxiety. This guide is here to help.
BiteRight is built for this moment. Turn on Coeliac Safe Mode (it’s on by default) so we flag cross-contamination, shared fryers, and hidden gluten — not just obvious ingredients. Scan menus before you order and snap a photo of your plate if you’re unsure. Same risk tiers everywhere: green, yellow, red.
Try BiteRight free for 3 days. Cancel anytime.Explaining celiac in another language is stressful. Our Chef Cards say it clearly in 20+ languages — show the waiter your phone and they’ll know exactly what you need. Essential for travel and new restaurants.
Soy sauce, malt, and many sauces contain wheat or barley. See our Common Hidden Sources article and the Knowledge Hub for “Is X gluten free?” guides. When in doubt, scan it with BiteRight or ask the kitchen.
BiteRight is a guide, not medical advice — always double-check with staff if you’re celiac. But with a clear process (scan, check, ask), eating out becomes manageable. Download the app and take the first step.
