About this app

Researchers 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.

So frustrating to use. The search sometimes just doesn't load and I never know if it's because that food isn't there or the app isn't loading. The layout is frustrating & clicking back doesn't go back to search results, but to the beginning. Green light foods sometimes mean you can eat freely and sometimes mean you can only eat a certain amount, but that is not easily seen at a glance. More than anything else I need a section of completely ok foods at any amount. Needs to be more user friendly.

I appreciate the research that went in to developing this data set, however as others have stated, the UI is quite poor. The search bar usually works on startup, but after a while stops working (typing in text does not refresh the search results) and a force-stop is required. Additionally, the stop light colors are not always displayed in a consistent order. For a paid app from a university, I would expect a more polished user experience.

I love this app. very handy. However, why did you change the layout so you have to tap on the item to see the stop light color. So annoying. I loved being able to just quickly glance and see the color and move on. *Edit* The traffic lights weren't showing up because I had filters set. So that's on me. Changed to 5 stars because it is an awesome app. and they help you resolve your issues! Thank you*

Hi Alicia, thank you for your review. Are your traffic lights not showing up at all next to each food? This doesn't sound right. Could you please email us at enquiry@monashfodmap.com so we can resolve this issue for you? Many thanks, Monash FODMAP.
