Monash FODMAP Diet

In the app’s reintroduction option in the apps diary section it divides the different things you can reintroduce into different categories: • Lactose, Sorbitol, Mannitol, Fructose, GOS, Fructan - grain foods, Fructan - vegetable and fruits, Fructan - garlic, Fructan - onion, Fructose + Sorbitol and finally Fructan + GOS These different categories are the tested by the usher during the reintroduction phase and the user determines which of the different cats they can and cannot eat. They then have the option of creating a filter based off of the results of the reintroductions in the Food Guide part of the app. The filter however doesn’t use all of the categories above it simply uses: • Lactose, Sorbitol, Mannitol, Fructose, GOS & Fructan This creates a problem for users like me who have reacted to the Fructan - grain foods category but have been okay with the Fructan - vegetable and fruits and the Fructan - onion categories. How am I supposed to filter that when the only option is Fructan and the specific types are left out? I’m a green face two of the Fructan categories as I didn’t react to them but I’m a red face on the other.

Just bought this app and it crashes every time Update: works now after I removed it and installed it again.

Bought this app in the belief it would be more scientific issued by Monash. All in all, the contents can be found for free on any web site or free app. There seems to be lots of commercial interest present here as branded bread and dairy products are lined up one after the other whereas a simple search for eg salmon doesn’t render any results. With the cost of the app one would have thought this one to be “neutral”. Very very disappointing!

I purchased this solely for the food/symptom journal with analysis. You can only add their specific recipes, of which there is a very limited number, or they say the analysis won’t be very helpful... so the food journal is really not helpful overall!

Love this app, it’s a life saver! It’s guided me through the low fodmap diet and has definitely been an important factor in managing my health. The app is packed with useful information and has a very pedagogical structure and design. The fact that Monash University is an esteemed academic institution and carries out scientific research about fodmaps makes the information reliable and it is also always up to date.

The app has a lot of good info, tips, and guide. I think it's a worthwhile purchase.

Thank you thank you thank you! If doctors just showed me this much earlier ... I'm so glad I found this app! Tomorrow I'm going to the supermarket to buy vegetables and fruits. Soooo happy! Thanks alot!!!

Really challenging to use the app UX makes no sense :(

The best go to for what and how much I can eat since I’ve had colon surgery… I am so thankful that the Monash University has done all of the research for me so my life is much easier in planning meals and how much of certain foods I can have without a bellyache! Thank you for your time and research for us Monash University!!!!

If you know a few foods that trigger you, you can quickly figure out what category they belong to and then start to eliminate foods from those categories. There are foods that I didn’t even know triggered me, but this app helped me identify them, eliminating the guessing game I’ve been going through for decades. For example, there are foods that utterly surprised me as fructans and sorbitols. This app so handy at the grocery store or dinners out at restaurants. I would now be lost without it. I think in another year or so I won’t need it anymore, as I will have my trigger foods all identified. This app truly changed my life.
