About this app

Nickel Navigator is a support tool for individuals on a low-nickel diet. It presents nickel data for over 800 foods from hundreds of national food studies and scientific articles, while taking serving size into consideration. Explore the food groups to see which foods are the highest and lowest in nickel, or search for a food. Drill down into the data to understand how a food's nickel content varies, and the reliability of the statistics for that food. Estimate your daily nickel intake using the food journal. For more information, please see our new and improved User Guide inside the app.

See a medical professional first for allergy testing, personalized advice, and to rule out other causes of your symptoms. If you need support beyond what the nickel data can provide, please reach out to a medical professional. Rebelytics does not provide medical advice.

No internet connection is required. This app is free and is available as-is and in English only.

Ratings and reviews

It's pretty good for getting a general idea of nickel content in foods. I like that the app features information missing from the website and PDF guides. The app itself could be improved with better search functionality, e.g. searching for "kidney" should show you everything containing kidney instead of categories such as "organ meats" that contain matches which then requires you to click it and visually search through about 100 records.

I love that this app is based on scientific backed datasets. I found out that nickel was the culprit behind my migraines, skin allergies, fatigue, and full body joint inflammation. After I found out, I was too scared to eat anything but an egg on white rice. I was hungry and overwhelmed trying to figure out what was safe. This app has everything I need, and has made the change so much easier.

Very helpful to get an idea of nickel content in various foods. It helped me manage my nickel allergy and reduce symptoms. It is nice to see sample variability in order to asses how risky a good is, if there are regional differences in nickel content, and if a single sample is dramatically altering the average nickel content of a food.
