If you live with celiac disease, you already know the hardest part of eating out isn't finding "gluten-free" on a menu. It's figuring out whether this kitchen, today, can actually deliver on it safely.
Crumb Bouncer helps you ask the right questions about any dish at any restaurant and make that call with confidence. So you can focus on enjoying time with your friends and family.
Three Simple Steps
Built from years of experience navigating what tends to go wrong at restaurants.
Search by cuisine (Italian, Thai, Mexican) and optionally add a specific dish you're considering. Get tailored guidance in seconds.
Receive an opening script that explains your needs clearly, plus dish-specific questions to ask about prep surfaces, shared equipment, and hidden risks.
Why "severe allergy"? Celiac isn't an allergy, but that phrase triggers a kitchen's allergy-safety protocols, while "celiac" alone often gets waved off. It's how you get the safest handling. Recommended by a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease.
Know what tends to work better on the menu, what to watch for, and what questions will help you make the safest choice.
“Whether you were diagnosed last month or ten years ago, a new restaurant is a new set of questions.”
For Everyone at the Table
When you're first diagnosed, this is the script you don't have yet. Years in, it's the one you still need, because every new cuisine, every new restaurant, and every new server is its own version of day one.
Navigate any restaurant with confidence and clear communication
Get the right questions to help keep your kids safer when dining out
Feel prepared navigating unfamiliar restaurants in new places
Help the people you love eat out more safely, even when you're not there
Crumb Bouncer was founded by Brian, a guy living with celiac disease and raising children with celiac disease too. It grew out of years of firsthand experience navigating restaurant dining – the awkward conversations, the vague reassurances, the moments of deciding whether to trust an answer or walk away.
This tool translates that lived experience into calm, practical guidance to help you feel more prepared in those same moments.
$1 from every subscription is donated to organizations that support celiac disease research and advocacy. For a list of organizations we support, email hello@crumbbouncer.com.
