Celiac disease: living gluten-free, no drama.

Strict, lifelong gluten filtering, without you having to repeat it for every recipe. 500+ celiac-safe recipes. Budday complements your medical care, it does not replace it.

Not a medical device. Diagnosing and following up celiac disease remain the responsibility of your doctor and your gastroenterologist. Budday complements them, it never acts in their place.

WhyCeliac disease: living gluten-free, day to day.

4 things we do specifically.

Low GI

Glycemic index low by default.

Gluten-free grains are not always low GI (white rice has a high one). When you declare celiac, we favor buckwheat, quinoa, legumes and sweet potato: low GI by default.

Macros

Macro ratio calibrated.

Processed gluten-free food is often low in fiber and too sweet. Our recipe filtering keeps a sound fiber / carb ratio and limits processed "GF" breads and pastas that are high in added sugar.

Portions

Portions adjusted.

Portions account for the fact that gluten-free grains often cook to different weights (quinoa doubles, buckwheat triples). We give you both the raw AND the cooked weight so you do not get it wrong.

Substitutions

Substitutions on the fly.

For every "wheat" recipe, we offer 2-3 celiac-safe swaps (buckwheat, whole basmati rice, polenta, lentils, chickpeas). No recipe ever shows you a risky substitution (oats with no guarantee, spelt, kamut).

Foods + tracked parameters

What we filter, what we watch.

Sources: AFDIAG (Association Française des Intolérants au Gluten), ESPGHAN recommendations.

Foods to avoid strictly

Gluten-containing grains · wheat (every form: spelt, kamut, durum), rye, barley
Uncertified oats · cross-contamination is frequent. Only oats labeled "gluten-free" are safe
Processed sauces · classic soy sauce, Worcestershire, some dressings (thickened with wheat)
Rolled deli meats · often floured on the outside
Ready meals · sauces, breadings, flour-based thickeners

Tracked parameters

Anti-transglutaminase antibodies · annual entry if you follow up
Potential deficiencies · iron, vitamin D, B12 (poorly managed celiac disease causes malabsorption)
Bone mineral density · to watch in the post-diagnosis phase
Digestive well-being · daily scale (bloating, transit)
Restaurant confidence · rate of outings with no incident

Cross-contamination

This is the most common trap. You eat “gluten-free” but the toaster held a wheat rusk. The knife cut a regular sandwich. The pan seared wheat pasta yesterday. For people with celiac disease, those traces trigger a reaction. The app offers recipes designed without contamination (dedicated utensils, order of preparation).

Eating out at a restaurant

The app includes a restaurant card to show servers (in French + English + 12 other EU languages) that explains precisely what celiac disease is, the contaminations to avoid, and the safe substitutions. More effective than explaining it every time.

Morning fasted weigh-in

If you weigh yourself as part of celiac follow-up (regaining weight post-diagnosis), do it in the morning upon waking, fasted (06:30-08:00). Do not weigh in the evening: bloating from a recent contamination would distort the reading.

Not a medical device

Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of any condition remain the responsibility of your doctor and specialist. Budday complements, never replaces.

Recipes and tracked parameters are indicative, based on public recommendations (HAS, ANSES, specialised learned societies).

Frequent questions

What we get asked the most.

Still looking for an answer? Write to us.

Is this adaptation permanent?

As long as your condition stays declared in your profile, yes. Recipe filtering, macro calibration, substitutions, all of it keeps applying without you having to restate it. You can switch it off whenever you want in Settings.

Do you replace my doctor?

No. Budday is not a medical device: we complement, we never replace. Diagnosis, treatment and clinical follow-up stay with your doctor and your specialist. We help you apply their guidance day to day.

What if I have several conditions to manage?

We combine them without breaking anything. Type-2 diabetes + gluten-free, cholesterol + lactose intolerance, tree-nut allergy + vegetarian: every combination is handled at once in the menu calibration and the swaps we suggest.

Your sources, what are they?

For each condition: public guidelines from HAS, ANSES, learned societies (Société Francophone du Diabète, AFDIAG, and more) and recent peer-reviewed studies. No isolated opinion, no sponsored advice. The sources are cited on every condition page.
