PREMIUM Features Include:
Additional FODMAP Details - With the premium version of the app you get advanced details on the specific FODMAP breakdowns of each food and whether it is high, medium, or low in the main FODMAP categories of Polyols, Oligos, Fructose, and Lactose. If the level is marked as "low" for a specific FODMAP type it can be assumed that the food is essentially free of it. For example a food marked as "low" lactose is Essentially lactose free.

My Experience - Log your personal experience with foods to determine if a food works for you regardless of its FODMAP rating. Rate whether you had a good or bad reaction to a food after eating it, then leave detailed notes so that you know for next time how said food will affect you.

Community Experience - See how the community has reacted to a food via anonymized My Experience ratings. This will let you know if the majority of users of the app had a good or bad reaction to a food regardless of its FODMAP content.

My Experience and Community Experience data analysis - Advanced graphs and data analysis present the my experience and community experience data to you in a useful and intuitive format to show you breakdowns of good and bad reactions to the various food categories as well as what your worst specific FODMAPs are.

About FODMAPs
FODMAPs are short chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine, especially for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome / IBS, Crohn's disease, Colitis, Lactose Intolerance, Gluten Intolerance, other food intolerances and stomach sensitivities. They include short chain oligo-saccharide polymers of fructose (fructans) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS, stachyose, raffinose), disaccharides (lactose), monosaccharides (fructose), and sugar alcohols (polyols), such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and maltitol.

The term FODMAP is an acronym, derived from:

*Fermentable
*Oligo-
*Di-
*Mono-saccharides
*And
*Polyols

Although FODMAPs are naturally present in food and the human diet, FODMAP diet restriction has been found to improve symptom control in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), such as Lactose Intolerance, Gluten Intolerance, Crohn's disease, Colitis, and other stomach sensitivities. Prior to the formation of the FODMAP concept, diet was seldom used as first line therapy for management of IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, Lactose intolerance and other FGID.

Reviews

Great app. But where is their data sourced from?
Brianjoshua

Great app. Super easy to look things up on-the-fly. My only complaint is that the dev doesn't specifically say where he got his FODMAP data from.

Love it
timothy wilkins

I love this app. Simple and easy to use. Great for doing a quick search while in the grocery store. They want to hear feedback and you can send in when there is a food not in their database. If you have stomach issues and have not tried FODMAP, I highly suggest it.

Good FODMAP guide
jrhighwood

Very handy guide to help quickly know what you can eat or not. Has most foods in their basic form but not brand name processed foods.

Fodmap helper
Dootlebugg

This Fodmap Helper has been just that - A real help! I looked at other apps and this one is by far the best. Quick and easy.

Great app for the price
Renee Sil

As someone knew to the FODMAP experience, I find this app helpful. While reading a menu for example, I can have the app open and just scroll through the ingredients to see if they're acceptable. The list is not exhaustive but it does list a lot more items than other lists I've seen, especially the free ones.

Useable!

Nothing but good stuff with this app. Intuitive and thorough. Allows for submissions for new foods. Good times. Much recommend!

Very useful
HT Forb

Good - easy to use. Doesn't have everything under the sun but does have most foods.

Waste of money!

Paid for full access only to see how foods affect other people? You can say how a food affects you but it doesn't save your response for future reference? What is the point?
