About Gluti

Why this app exists

My name is Patrick Koch and I’m from Fulda, Germany. The idea for this app came from my personal life: over time, my partner developed more and more intolerances, starting with lactose, then fructose, and for a while now a gluten intolerance, at times with suspected coeliac disease or a predisposition to it.

I had come across the topic before through a colleague I worked with for several years, but without really understanding it back then. Only through the situation close to home did I realise how challenging it can be to eat out gluten-free, relaxed and safely, when you’re on the go.

Talking to others affected, I noticed that many people face the same problem: at home you get to know the right restaurants over time, but when you’re travelling you just want to quickly find somewhere you can eat well and safely. That’s exactly where the idea for this app came from.

Much of the app was built on holiday in Mallorca. That’s why, besides Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there are already some places there too.
