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.

this app is a good place to start with food intolerance, fodmap, or ibs. there is so much conflicting data on the Internet because most blogs rely on the individual's experience of a food item. not specific data. this app lets you know not only if a food item is an irritant but specifically what the irritant is. this feature was incredibly beneficial as the food composition I was looking for was specifically fructose. i saw so other program or data group that was as complete as this app.

This app is better than nothing but the stoplight system is rarely correct. An item might appear green but when you click it for a closer look, you see yellow and red in various FODMAPs. I find it kind of infuriating tbh. I also don't understand why there's not a set section of "safe" foods that have no FODMAPs. I've bookmarked them all into favorites for myself

Hi Jackies, thanks for the review. To reduce a high amount of restriction in the diet, we use the traffic light system to provide serving sizes that can still be consumed in step 1 of the diet (the green light). Foods may contain FODMAPs in higher quantities but the smaller quantities with the green light mean you can still enjoy these foods.

I'm glad that this app exists because there aren't many low fodmap resources out there. However, this doesn't give the user control over changing the serving size of different foods and it doesn't tell you how much fodmaps are in different serving sizes, and instead uses an arbitrary color classification. This is unhelpful because I sometimes eat a meal with multiple low fodmap foods that adds up to a high fodmap meal and this app makes it impossible to know how much fodmap I'm actually eating.

Hi Katherine, thanks for the feedback. We do not include specific FODMAP quantities tracking this is not necessary on the diet. We understand that the diet can be burdensome already, so our conservative FODMAP cut-offs used in the app take away the need to track specific FODMAP quantities (e.g. similar to tracking calorie/kilojoule intake).
