Important: Please read before relying on any information from Glutepedia.

This is not medical advice.

All content on Glutepedia — including restaurant listings, flour guides, and “Is it gluten-free?” articles — is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical, dietary, or nutritional advice and should not be relied upon as such.

For People with Coeliac Disease

Coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition. Managing it safely requires working with qualified healthcare professionals, including gastroenterologists and registered dietitians. The information on this website is intended as a general educational resource, not as a substitute for professional medical advice.

Even information we present as generally accurate may not apply to your individual situation. Sensitivity thresholds, personal tolerance, and medical history vary significantly between individuals.

Verify Before You Eat

Restaurant menus, ingredients, preparation methods, and kitchen protocols change frequently and without notice. A listing marked “dedicated gluten-free kitchen” reflects information at a point in time and may be out of date. Always call ahead or speak directly with restaurant staff before ordering if you have coeliac disease or serious gluten sensitivity.

For packaged and supermarket products, always read the current label. Manufacturers change formulas, production facilities, and ingredient sourcing. A product that was safe when we wrote about it may not be safe today.

“Check the Label” Guidance

Throughout our content, we frequently say “check the label.” This is intentional. We cannot inspect every product we mention, and label-reading is an essential skill for anyone managing a gluten-free diet. If an article says a product “is usually gluten-free,” that means most formulations at the time of writing were free of gluten ingredients — not that every version of every brand is safe.

No Endorsement of External Links

Links to external websites (restaurant homepages, product pages, medical organisations) are provided for convenience. We do not endorse or take responsibility for the accuracy of external content.

Seek Professional Advice

If you believe you may have coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy, consult a qualified medical professional before making significant dietary changes. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment are not recommended.

For reliable medical information about coeliac disease, we recommend resources from your national coeliac disease charity or society (such as Coeliac UK, Beyond Celiac, or Coeliac Australia).
