Gluten Free Registry Powers a New Android App

Sept. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Gluten Free Registry^tm is the leading free searchable database of gluten-free friendly restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses, caterers, chefs and grocers. Since their business first launched in 2007 they have provided several ways for people to access their data including interactive maps, a mobile website, GPS points-of-interest (POI) files, and regional print magazines.

Now their database is powering the recently launched Gluten Freescape Android app by Vector Mobile Development. Gluten Freescape provides a location aware map of gluten-free friendly businesses. It also allows you to filter by business category including the very popular Pizza category.

"Gluten Freescape is the landscape of gluten-free around you" states Brenden Whittemore, Co-Founder and CTO of Gluten Free Registry LLC. "By extending our web service framework we have enabled third party developers to leverage our extensive database for their own smart phone applications and websites. This is another way we're working to help put people and gluten-free friendly businesses together."

Celiac Disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder where the body has an intolerance to the protein called gluten which is found in wheat, rye, and barley. According to the Celiac Sprue Association, "1 in 133 Americans have celiac disease". Left untreated, people with Celiac Disease can develop further complications such as vitamin deficiencies, other autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, and cancer. Currently the only treatment for Celiac Disease is a lifetime gluten-free diet.

Since their website launched the database has grown to over 17,700+ business locations in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
