Description

Researchers 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.

    Got the app mainly for the listing of food products that are safe and certified but found that 98% of the products are only sold in Australia Japan and Italy, practically nothing listed available in the USA.

  • Good, could be better

    Overall the app is good. Team actually updates the app + fixes bugs (thank you!) I find navigating the foods a bit cumbersome at times (things aren’t normalized well, missing foods, etc.) I’ve been using this app a little over a year, plan on continuing to use it.

  • Lacking

    While there is some good information in this app, it’s basically just a list. No ability to check anything. No barcode scan. No sort feature. Under L”Snacks” there are a bunch of international entries I will never encounter and I cannot remove them. Get another app. I will be requesting a refund.

  • The information is the most reliable and high quality you can get, but the app itself isn’t great.

    Not fun to navigate, missing a lot of foods, especially US brands I’ve noticed, search function could use some work. Expected more recipes and features for the price tag. But, I appreciate that I can always trust what you guys say on the foods that are listed. There is so much conflicting information on google and it is nice to have a nice go-to spot for a simple answer.

    This was not worth the cost to download the app. It’s not very helpful and I feel like the same information can be found with a quick (and free) google search. The presentation is poor and it would be helpful to have common products and brands listed. I searched a variety of products and rarely did I find a product on the list. All in all there are better apps/better web search options to help.

  • Contradictory Information

    Unsure if any of the information is reliable as under “food guide” they have “broccoli heads only, raw” listed twice — once as green and once as red at the exact same measurements. Super frustrating, especially in a paid app.

  • Life changing data. Mediocre presentation.

    Learning about fodmaps changed my life. I’m so grateful for the work done by Monash. The app though…..is not built that well. The data is shown one food at a time, so it’s hard to understand the big picture of which foods affect you. There’s the option to make a favorites list that helps a little, but it’s still not very good. I contacted Monash for the data as a spreadsheet so that I could sort and filter. They said no. Grateful for the data. Irritated by the presentation.

  • A few bugs and could be much better

    I’ve been trying a few of the free fodmap apps and this one is only barely better than the free ones. There are a few extra food items in the database and the diary for tracking food and triggers is a good idea. It would be a great idea if there was a link between searching for a particular food and being able to add it into your diary from that search. The recipes have been useless. There’s photos of the recipe but if you click on it, the app freezes entirely. So, there was promise here but I may as well have stuck with the free apps.

  • Recipes don’t load

    This app is very convenient when looking at foods, but the recipe tab always freezes the app. I

  • Less than expected

    Food searches not very helpful and less recipes than anticipated. I had higher hopes for the Monash app based on their website and physical cookbook. Not impressed with purchasing the app. Save your money and use free resources.
