Description

Researchers at Monash University have developed the low FODMAP diet and a corresponding app to assist in the management of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The Monash University FODMAP diet works by swapping foods high in fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs), with low FODMAP alternatives. Around 75% of people with IBS experience symptom relief on a low FODMAP diet. The app comes directly from the research team at Monash and includes the following: - General information about the FODMAP diet and IBS. - Easy to understand tutorials to guide you through the app and the 3-Step FODMAP diet. - A Food Guide detailing the FODMAP content for hundreds of foods using a simple 'traffic light system'. - A list of branded products that have been certified by Monash as low FODMAP. - A collection of over 70 nutritious, low FODMAP recipes. - Functions that allow you to create your own shopping list and add notes to individual foods - A Diary that enables you to record food eaten, IBS symptoms, bowel habits and stress levels. The Diary will also guide you through step 2 of the diet - FODMAP reintroduction. - The ability to adjust units of measurement (metric or imperial) and activate colour blindness assistance.

    Then you forced me to provide an email address, and still showed adds for meals through modify health… even the course you offer through your app is even more money…
  • Worst $7.99 I’ve ever spent

    This app is horrible. Missing pretty basic foods. Doesn’t actually have comprehensive list of compliant brands, just pushes meal delivery services. The recipes contradict their own fodmap ratings! That’s crazy! I regret purchasing this. I have no idea how they are the world leader in the field and this was all they came up with. This information should be free anyway, so I’m doubly sick that I paid for this subpar scam of an app
  • Not worth it

    Mostly ads and doesn’t contain many common foods.
  • Very limited data.

    This app is very disappointing. I live in the USA and find that the majority of products I look for cannot be found. Even the most common products cannot be found. I am sorry I bought it.
  • Very useful

    There is a bit of a learning curve to using the app, especially since I’m in the US, and some terminology is different, but not hard at all to figure out. I’m finding that foods I thought were “safe” are only safe below a certain quantity. I’m trying be be as precise as possible with the elimination phase, so I’m really having to measure and weigh a lot. I really like the diary, easy to use and I will be able to send to my dietitian. Two suggestions: for bowel movement tracking, it would be useful to track amount as well as type. Also, could you add a tracker for water? The amount of water you are drinking or not drinking could play a role in GI symptoms. Right now I’m just adding to notes. Those two additions would make this a 5 star app, IMHO.
  • Uselessly Limited Food Guide

    Food guide answers only the most basic of broad foods. No data on common brands and foods. Much better to just google and add FODMAP to the end. Deleted and requested refund the first day.
  • Buttons don't work

    I have tried to submit feedback but that button doesn't work. I was trying to submit feedback about how when I want to download or send my diary the send button doesn't work either. Seems like this app is buggy and no one is fixing it. I want to like it but it's hard when the features I need don't work
  • Really awkward filters and displays make this difficult to use

    Can’t really sort or filter foods the way you would expect to be possible. For example, filter low FODMAP fruits, let alone by sorbitols or fructans. Nor sort by lowest or highest fodmaps. Nor show me all the The information is also displayed by different categories of servings that you will need to manually translate to your own experience. There is no FODMAP amount to gram of food ratio, for example. There is only “high” or “medium” or “low” FODMAP for “moderate” serving (x grams) so you have no idea if a portion between low to moderate is ok.
  • Great, if a little limited

    I’ve been using this app for several years, and I typically refer to it at least once or twice a day. Whether I’m in the grocery store or in a restaurant, this app helps me manage my food sensitivities. There are times when I feel frustrated, because I can’t find a food that’s commonly available in the US. I wonder whether the app could be updated periodically.

    The largest collection of foods' FODMAP ratings available. Simple and easy to use. Also the staff at Monash University are very accessible and easy to talk to if you have any questions about food ingredients and ratings. The app has lots of additional features like online courses, etc., that I have not even explored.
