        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 includes the following:

        - Background information about FODMAPs
        - A food guide detailing the FODMAP content for over 640 foods, including foods sourced internationally
        - A full recipe book including 79 original and nutritious recipes with professional photography
        - A shopping list for organising low FODMAP purchases
        - A one week challenge to trial and monitor a strict FODMAP diet, with the function to view detailed graphs of symptoms and the end of the week

        For the money there are far too many daily items missing and no option to submit foods for review/confirmation. Suggest there needs to be a barcode facility like My Fitness Pal which allows users to add items which the app moderators could then review/confirm. Otherwise just Google to get the FODMAP status, it's cheaper
        Craig Brady
        I'm not sure why the change was made to hide traffic lights if filters are selected but this has made the app pretty useless to me now. Having to open every item to see the rating makes it annoying if you are shopping and want quick reminders.

        App has been a life saver. My main complaint is that many foods do not show up/have not yet been tested. Could you guys include a list of new items that have been tested with each update to the app?
        It is amazing! And makes my life so much easier and it means I know what I can and can't eat. Which means I am sick less
        Alex
        I would give this top marks if there was more food testing shown - it's getting better so I've added an extra star
        Please explain why red grape is rated green given that it's so high in sugar, thank you.

        Hi David, how foods are processed can dramatically affect FODMAP content, this cannot be determined from an ingredients list. To create a barcode scanning app we would need to test every product in the supermarket, which is impossible. Please feel free to submit food suggestions for us to test via 'send feedback' through settings in the guide

        This will only happen if you have filters enabled. We've done this to make it easier to identify which foods are suitable for you. Everything that isn't blanked out means there are lowFODMAP serves - this makes it clearer as you can disregard the traffic lights with the filter function. If you prefer the traffic lights you can disable your filters

        Hi Alex, thank you for your feedback. We are constantly testing new foods here at Monash and adding new foods to the app as regularly as possible. The full FODMAP analysis of foods is labour intensive and can take about 4 weeks. Please keep an eye out on our Facebook for announcements of when new foods are added http://bit.ly/1RnVVNs All the best

        This is a good basic app, but it really needs an update. Apps have changed a lot since this was created. We need to be able to barcode scan or search more Australian packaged foods. Even if we could submit to Monash for their research labs to test, that would be a great start. I don't regret paying for the app, but with its limitations I feel a bit ripped off. Was highly recommended by my gastroenterologist

        I only bought this because I'd rather consult the original source, but the red light green light system is awful. I went through all of the foods thinking the red light ones were the ones I couldn't have. Then I read a recipe that included sweet potatoes, a red light item. So I tried searching for it, but sweet potatoes wouldn't come up in the search bar. I went back to the guide and found it, and clicked on it. I saw that I can still have sweet potatoes, just a small amount. Awesome, I have to go back and start over now. I appreciate the attempts at recipes, but I cook from scratch a lot, so I'd rather just go through the lists and find the proper serving sizes. I think it would make a lot more sense if you had something like: potato, sweet : green (.5 cups) Also, fix the search bar.

        Love this app. It has been a life saver!! I have found so many foods that I thought I wasn't allowed. I am allowed them, just in half or quarter servings! Makes getting to know about low fodmap diet way easier and less overwhelming. My dietician recommended it to me and yes it costs to buy the app but to me it's been well worth it. Love that they update it with new foods that they have researched.

        It's clunky and the search function often freezes up. Some of the serving sizes used to give food a rating are impractical, such as a serving size of 2 brussel sprouts. Because of the poor calibration the color coding system is not useful. You need to open each food to read the description to see if it is actually safe or problematic. It seems like a lot of work went into gathering the data but very little attention was given to testing usability.

        Downloaded a few different apps. Than succumbed to buying this app thinking it would combine different features from other apps. I find other apps have more info like individual ingrediants and additives with their codes to cross reference on labels. Even a section where you can rate your reaction to the food. Also needs a place to easily scan barcodes. Plus needs so many more recipe ideas. As a newbie to fodmaps this app has not helped much and I never pay for apps and regret my choice

        This is the first time I've ever paid for an app like this and although I've had a couple of navigation issues with it, it's easy to work out once you know how. Also it's good that the developers actually read your reviews and address your questions, so I'd advise anyone having problems to read the other reviews and the answers , as I did.

        This app is a great help to me in what to eat and what to avoid. Since I cook almost every day and buy many ingredients, I hope you add more food items to your list as we go. For example I was wondering if Quince is good or not? But did not find it in the directory.

        I've just bought this and just tried my first recipe. Pancakes. I followed the recipe perfectly and even though I thought it was odd to put baking powder and bicarb in it, I did. Even with 6 tsps of caster sugar (I never put sugar in my pancakes) I was so disappointed. I had to throw it all in the bin. It was inedible.

        Really it is excellent app. I have been diagnosed with sibo ,fructose intolerance and low stomach motility . Dr advised me to use this application for two monthes and to stick in low fodmap diet in order to stop feeding bad bacteria . It works fine and reduced bloating and ,gas and palpitations. you have to be paient and use only green food .furthermore if you have any question you can contact the app. by email and you will receive clear answer wothen 2 days . I recommend all that has IBS to use it.

        My gastroenterologist gave me a fodmap list from 2009 - I love that this can be updated by Monash Uni as they find out more, so I know I'm getting the most up-to-date info regarding what's OK and what's not (it's amazingly different than the list I was given by my Dr). I also love all the educational materials which explain what fodmaps are and why they can cause symptoms - they're very valuable for newcomers to this diet! The recipe guide is a good starting point, but most of the breakfasts are not to my personal taste. I like that the nutritional breakdown is provided, though. The 1 week diet diary is a great idea and the "add recipe" functionality means it's convenient if you use the recipes from the app. If you add your own meal, it saves, which is still convenient. Things that would make this app 5 stars: - a section under diet for adding drinks (water intake, teas, coffees, alcohol, etc) - addition of Bristol stool chart to the symptom tracker and option to note number of bowel movements/day (it's a diet for IBS, after all) - written notes section for the symptom tracker to mark any other changes/additional info - option to log symptoms up to 3 times per day, in accordance with main meals - ability to openly source recipes from a communal database of other users of the app, so that the recipes listed can be screened and assessed by the dietitians at Monash and shared with every app update There are some reviews from people not in Australia stating that this is a useless app because it contains so few analyses of overseas foods from packets. Processed, pre-packaged foods such as gluten-free bread, pre-made sauces, snack bars, etc SHOULD NOT be staples in an IBS diet. The Monash focus on analysing whole foods is far more important, and should encourage consumption of an unprocessed diet - this is what it's all about! If you bought a fodmap recipe book from Monash, it would retail for way more than this app. Well worth the money when you're at the supermarket figuring out what veggies to put in your pasta sauce.

        Thank you for your feedback André, The new icon was designed to highlight that a low FODMAP diet is a dietary therapy designed to help manage medically diagnosed IBS - not a diet aimed at general healthy eating. The image itself is aimed at representing overall gut health, which is what the diet aims to achieve for those with IBS.

        The recipes are a nice addition but they really need to have the measurements change between metric and imperial. Not everyone will be able to do the unit conversions in their head. If you need to leave the app for that the recipe section usefulness is severely diminished Response to comments - Changing the measurement between metric and imperial only impacts the nutritional information display and not the measurements of the ingredients themselves in the recipe

        Hi Perry, Thank you for your feedback. This function already exists within the app, if you go to 'settings' in the guide and change the units of measurements to your preferred setting so it has a tick next to it, go back to settings and click 'done' then this should change the recipes to your preferred choice. All the best, Monash FODMAP.

        This app lacks tons of typical US foods, forcing me to Google constantly, or consult other lists. The one week trial is not user friendly, has no real journaling space or provision to comment on individual food and meal results. I spent more money than I've ever spent on an app for one I won't even use.
