United StatesResearchers 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.
Fantastic resource!
This is a fantastic resource for people going on the low FODMAP diet… especially for people like me who have a particularly unhelpful nutritionist. I also really like that you can track a number of things in your diary. It really helps illuminate patterns so you can make adjustments. You eat something and log it, see how your stomach and body react, and have a better idea of what food just nailed you… like when I had a surprise full-body allergic reaction to a banana that wasn’t as green as it looked. I was able to have the same meal the next day without the banana and pinpoint what had caused the issue. The recipes and resources are very helpful too. The only drawback for me is that not everything I need to know is listed in the food guide. I would love for them to keep adding more mixed food items, so I could know what is safe when out and about - like “8oz Starbucks Rice Milk Latte.” (I also realize that that might be impossible, since people use this all over the world.)You have to do a lot of math to figure out if certain things will work for you, but it’s still better than everything else out there. But it would be so helpful to have a few emergency go-to items when you’re out and get caught super hungry without time to go to the grocery store. I’m at the beginning of my journey, so I’m sure I’ll catch up. I’ve already recommended this to a number of people and my coach at PT is now recommending this to all her clients with gastro issues. Very thankful to have the support of this app during a very exhausting and confusing process.
United StatesEating well
It is difficult in the beginning to give up so many foods on a Fodmap diet. But this app makes it so easy to choose wisely and see portion control if I must “cheat” while eating out. Could not do without it!
United StatesSharing generated diary report
The app won’t allow me to share or send my generated diary report to myself or my dietician. How can that be fixed??
United StatesFilters do not work no matter how many times you refresh
Very frustrating not worth the aggravation.
United StatesRight on
Monash is right on about foods and serving sizes-also extremely important. The info is well researched and thoroughly accurate.
United StatesLifesaver!
I’m very thankful for this resource!! Especially for the very low fee & continued research, it’s very well worth it!!
United StatesFilter doesn't work
I have only the United States checked and the app is still showing food from other countries. Also it doesn't have information on common items like lemonade.
