Gluten Free Registry Launches iPhone App

Nov. 12, 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 Free Registry iPhone app. Some of the features in their app include:
* Powered by their extensive moderated database, not a web search
* Database includes not only restaurants, but also bakeries, coffee houses, grocers, caterers and more
* App provides a location aware list by proximity
* View the business location on a map
* Easily search different locations
* Read comments and ratings by the gluten-free community
* Call the business on your iPhone
* View their website

"This new iPhone app compliments the Gluten Freescape Android app that is also powered by our extensive database" states Brenden Whittemore, Co-Founder and CTO of Gluten Free Registry LLC. "A Blackberry app is also in the works. These are more examples of how we're committed 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.

http://www.glutenfreeregistry.com was created to help bring people and gluten-free friendly business together. Since their website launched the database has grown to over 18,000+ business locations in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. More business submissions are received every day. Their map interface provides a quick and intuitive interface for searching. This is especially helpful when traveling.

In addition to the business registries, www.glutenfreeregistry.com includes comments and ratings provided by the gluten-free community about the business locations. You can view the comments by business location, the most recent comments, most talked about businesses, and most liked businesses. This community driven feedback, both positive and negative, provides a more complete picture of the gluten-free experience at the business location. No account or login is required to submit comments or to suggest a business.

Gluten Free Registry^tm also offers a public events calendar, a support page, a brands page, GPS POI file downloads, and an online store. They have created a one stop shop for people living the gluten-free lifestyle.
