Best Apps to Help Deal With Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a very painful illness that affects millions of people each year. If you or someone in your family has been diagnosed with this disease, apps can make things a bit easier.
The first thing that you learn when you are diagnosed as having Celiac disease is that you have to avoid gluten if you don't want to spend your days in pain and recovering from a flare. Fortunately, apps make it easier than ever to do this, as long as you have your phone with you. One of the best apps to download is Find Me Gluten Free. This makes it even easier to steer clear of gluten and avoid the pain and problems that come with consuming it. One of the best things about this app is that it makes it simple to find restaurants that offer gluten-free options, which comes in really handy when you are on vacation.
Next, you will want to track your symptoms, especially if you are newly diagnosed with Celiac disease or you think you might have it. An app like mySymptoms is a great choice because not only does it help you keep track of how you are feeling but it also is a food diary. This means it's very easy to go over everything with your doctor and see if there is any correlation between what you eat and how you are feeling. Having an app like this can help you feel relaxed knowing that you have all of the information right in front of you.
Finally, when someone in your family has a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, you have to be careful about what you are making for meals. So, it's handy to have an app right at your fingers that not only has regular recipes but also has recipes for people who can't eat certain types of food. Mealime is one of our favorite apps because it has recipes for all types of diet, from nut-free to gluten-free to options for diabetics and much more. These recipes will help you stay healthy while eating delicious food.

When you have a health issue that can be affected by your diet, keeping a food diary is so important. This way you don't have to remember what you ate on May 15 for dinner, just look at your diary and you can see if it affected you adversely.
