TLDR: please take down this website, before it gives out false medical information to someone and they end up getting hurt.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease over ten years ago. Since then I've been making every effort to avoid gluten. While I've been mostly successful, it hasn't been easy. As you're well aware, gluten's in many foods, frequently in hidden ways. Much like you, I've had to pour over ingredient lists. Of course, because many facilities cross-contaiminate, checking ingredients isn't sufficient, so I've had to call and email manufacturers.
I think it's wonderful that you want to make this process easier--it's well due for an upgrade! That being said... this ain't it.
As a sibling comment already noted, this tool is already giving wrong answers (oats are themselves gluten free, but are frequently processed on the same production lines as wheat which can lead to cross contamination, so it's essential to check with the manufacturer). Caching a wrong answer won't help--the answer will still be wrong!
In many ways I'm very lucky with my celiac disease. Mood swings, joint inflammation and pain, brain fog, and other symptoms will hit me soon after I've been "glutened" which, while unpleasant, at least lets me know that I've _just_ eaten something that I shouldn't have. For others, their symptoms won't hit until later, forcing them to become detectives and figure out what glutened them, when all they want to do is rest and recover.
The long-term consequences of (repeated) glutenings for someone with celiac disease are dire--including malnourishment, anemia, and cancer.
"GlutenAI"'s wrong answers pose a danger to the health of your users. There are many things you might do to help people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Making a thin frontend for an LLM isn't one of them.
