United StatesResearchers at Monash University have developed a diet and corresponding app to assist in management of the gastrointestinal symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The Monash University Low FODMAP diet works by restricting foods high in some carbohydrates called FODMAPs.
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.
Navigation of the Low Fodmap elimination diet was greatly helped by this app (and the purchase of a food scale). Also made the reintroduction phase easier to understand and accomplish. Wish there was room for comments on the bowel movement section as my experience doesn't "match" the pictures and comments available as choices
Design and functionality are a bit clunky.
It has assisted alot in understanding my IBS
I NEED this app in order to function well.
Country filter doesn't work. Still see foreign results when set to 'Australia'. An additional filter by state would be useful. Some suppliers/retailers are interstate and those results are useless. Certainly not going interstate to buy bread!
I enjoy the app but I have to google search it every time I want to open it on my Google pixel? It's really frustrating and I can't seem to be able to find the app in my list so I can save it to my home screen.
Thank you for making this app. I've been following the low fodmap diet for four days now and this app has helped tremendously. I eat a whole foods, vegan diet and everything I've looked up is in the app. It's so fast and easy to look up foods now!
