Jeeva

‘Jeeva’ was started to cater to the Gluten Intolerant community and for those on special diets in India. Dietary restrictions, availability of safe food products, lack of information and resource pool makes life challenging for people who are Celiac or for that matter anyone on a special diet.  ‘Jeeva’ taken from  the Sanskrit meaning of ‘Living Soul’ came into being to give people the hope that they can lead a normal life inspite of the challenges. ‘Jeeva’ hopes to be your answer in leading a full life.
