Celimap: Uruguay celiac guide

Celimap is an app for people with celiac disease in Uruguay: a gluten-free places map, a product check against the public ACELU list, guides and recipes. For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity who live in or travel to Uruguay. It is independent, free (no purchases or subscriptions), in Spanish and covers Uruguay only.

WHAT IT DOES
• Gluten-free map: more than 150 places in all 19 departments, with the most places in Montevideo, Maldonado and Canelones. Filter by type, time of day or places marked as 100% gluten-free, with directions, phone, website and social profile links.
• Product check: search about 2,000 products from the ACELU list by name and see each result (suitable, not suitable, uncertain or pending verification) with the source (ACELU or community). You can also scan a barcode. Searching by name works offline once the local copy has been downloaded.
• Guides for celiacs: newly diagnosed, cross-contamination, reading labels in Uruguay, eating out and traveling, and useful resources, each with a sources tab.
• Cocinar (cooking): about 50 gluten-free recipe ideas with ingredients and steps, saved recipes and nutrition values for more than 50 foods.
• Community: with an optional account you can suggest a place or a correction (reviewed before it is published), write reviews and save favorites.

HOW IT WORKS
1. In the Mapa tab, filter by place type, time of day or 100% gluten-free.
2. In Inicio (home), tap "Escaneá tu producto" (scan your product), then type a name or scan its barcode.
3. Check the source of each result (ACELU or community) and always confirm the package label.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this an official ACELU or government app?
No. Celimap is independent and is not affiliated with ACELU or any public body; it only uses the public ACELU list as a source.

Can I use it offline?
Yes, for product search. Searching by name works offline once the list has been downloaded (it downloads when you open the scanner online). The map needs a connection.

Can I scan any barcode?
Not always. The ACELU list has no barcodes, so scanning only recognizes some products (those linked by the community or recognized by name when scanned). Searching by name covers every listed product.

Do I need an account?
No. The map, guides, recipes and product check work without signing in.

Does it guarantee that a place or product is safe?
No. The information is for guidance and does not replace advice from your doctor or nutritionist. Confirm the label and ask the place about cross-contamination.
