Eating safely with coeliac disease
is exhausting

Gluten is not just in bread and pasta. It turns up in places most people would never think to check. Reading every label takes time, energy, and a lot of knowledge most of us were never given.

People in the UK have coeliac disease

Around 1% of the UK population has coeliac disease, yet the majority remain undiagnosed. Many more are living with gluten sensitivity without realising it.

Years on average before diagnosis

Coeliac disease is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in the UK. Most people spend over a decade being misdiagnosed before they find out what is actually going on.

Food categories where gluten can hide

From stock cubes and soy sauce to crisps and salad dressings. Gluten shows up in hundreds of processed foods under names like barley malt extract, wheat starch, and modified starch.

Real experience

“I was told for years it was IBS before I was finally diagnosed with coeliac disease. Bite Insight helps me feel confident in the supermarket. It catches the things I miss, like barley in stock cubes or wheat in soy sauce. I feel so much more in control.”

Common questions

About using Bite Insight with coeliac disease.

Yes. You set coeliac disease as part of your health profile during onboarding, or you can update it in settings at any time. Every scan then checks the full ingredient list for gluten sources, including hidden ones like barley malt extract, wheat starch, rye flour, and spelt. Anything that could be a risk is flagged clearly.

The gluten risk indicator checks every ingredient in a product against a comprehensive list of known gluten-containing sources. It rates each product as Gluten Free, May Contain Traces, Contains Gluten, or High Gluten Content so you can make a quick, confident decision without reading through the whole label yourself.

Where a product includes may contain or made in a facility that handles wheat information on its label, Bite Insight surfaces this as a cross-contamination warning. For people with coeliac disease where even trace amounts of gluten can cause a reaction, this information is shown prominently rather than buried in the small print.

With Bite Insight+, you can build a personal avoid list with any ingredients you want to track. Add barley malt, wheat glucose syrup, rye flour, or any other specific source and Bite Insight will automatically highlight it every time it appears in a product you scan. No memorising required.

No. Bite Insight provides educational food insights to help you make more informed choices at the point of purchase. It is not a substitute for advice from your GP, gastroenterologist, or registered dietitian. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare team and use Bite Insight as a tool to support that care, not replace it.
