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.

Easy to use app

The design of the app and how information is being presented is so easy to use. Great for beginners at FODMAP. Really like the diary to monitor food intake the the traffic light method to get a snapshot of types of food w low or high FODMAP! Would love it if there were a wider range of foods and recipes esp Asian foods.

Excellent info but the search function is

I will get the one negative out of the way: the search function has issues. Type a full word and often the result will not come on (despite the item being in the database). Will be much more usable if this is fixed. The information contained within the APP is all from Monash University, which is a pioneer in FODMAP. So quality of content is high. Usability of the APP is excellent, other than the search function bug. Layout is intuitive. The low FODMAP diet is not easy to follow without an on-hand reference, so having this on your phone serves a real practical use. Recipes are tasty an include quality pictures for reference. Perhaps in a future version there could be a community based recipe section? It's a good sized database and I hope they continue to update and expand it.
