Since the launch of The Gluten-Free Centre UK in October of last year, the online directory has grown to support a community of thousands who live a gluten-free lifestyle. Now, the web resource is a lot easier to access thanks to the introduction of a free mobile resource.
This app highlights hotels, restaurants, shops as well as places to find sit-down and take-away meals that are in line with a completely gluten-free lifestyle. Creators Diana and David Murphy take pride in the fact that they showcase a range of independent and big businesses that provide choice, quality and an understanding of the issues that come with eating gluten-free.
Within the social app, it's also possible for users to leave reviews to further highlight the best offerings in the gluten-free community.
