Good question! She stopped eating gluten a couple years before learning investigating a Celiac test. The problem is Celiac tests only work if you are currently eating gluten.

Since even a tiny speck of gluten gives her insane pain, she'll probably never be able to get properly tested.

That said, several doctors think she does have Celiac.

Thank you Courtland!

Our long-term goal is to be the best global resource for finding certified gluten-free products. We want to have products from as many GF certifications as possible.

Another huge thing is adding ingredient lists and filters for other food allergies since many GF folks have other allergies.

I've been working full-time on this for about 7 weeks, but I'm expecting to do more consulting work before it provides a full-time income.

All revenue will come from affiliate links on each product.

GFCO (glutenfreecert.com) holds the manufacturer to whatever they self-declare (20ppm, 10ppm, 5ppm, etc and even undetectable).

GFCO certifies individual products with testing.

GFCP certifies facilities with required systems and processes. These folks basically do the certification at a higher place in the chain and is where the industry is headed.

There's no license because it's facts and can't be copyrighted.

GFCO certifies products for several different countries, but the majority is US.

We are going to be adding country support so folks can easily find products available to them no matter what country they are from.

I used pdf2json to scrape all the data from the GFCO PDF, which they publish annually. So mostly tool-assisted manual labor :D

However, I'm now negotiating with GFCO to get continually up-to-date information. I'm also working with another major GF certification and will soon be adding their products too.

Hey, the founder here! I'd love to answer any questions you have or take constructive feedback :)
