lifesaver for those who are new to low fodmaps
FIVE STARS! this app has been a lifesaver me! i’m four weeks into the low fodmaps diet. eliminating the fodmaps been a game changer for my health, but navigating what is a low fodmap food felt impossible the first week, especially since most of the research has been done outside of the US. i’ve been using the spoonful app since the start of week two, and it’s been amazing! knowing they have dietitians on staff is reassuring, and the folks behind the app are incredibly responsive when i email them with new products to look into!Show lessMogalea

Mogalea - thank you for the thoughtful review! Glad we could make your FODMAP journey a little less stressful.WOW!!
This app is amazing! It’s a perfect complement to the Monash app. I started scanning the stuff we’ve got in our pantry, and was surprised at how many items are already in their database of foods. I was also surprised to find out that the breadcrumbs we’ve been using are high-FODMAP because they contain soy flour. This diet has so many things to remember, and that is one ingredient that I had missed! No wonder my tummy hurt when I ate it! The list of people they have consulting on the app are top-notch in the FODMAP world. If you’re following a low-FODMAP diet, this app is a GREAT find!Show lessaspiritdancer
Getting better
This app has some distance to go - so many products are marked yellow (meaning they don’t know if they’re high or low FODMAP). This is partially because of the complex nature of FODMAPs, since testing is required for each product to be 100% sure. That said, the Spoonful staff/support are very responsive and helpful, and they’re adding new products all the time. The app tells you what ingredients flag a food as red or yellow so you can make your own best decision for your body. This app is a good tool to have in your tool belt while navigating the complex world of FODMAPs.Show lessdurhamlife
Amazing app. Amazing customer support!!
This app is clutch for anyone who is starting this diet for sure. This is all new to me, and this is about as easy to use as I could have asked for. Ability to have a list that could be shared would be amazing. Also the customer service is incredible! I have flagged 2 products in the last two days, and they updated them and followed up with me within 24hr. ImpressiveShow lessJ still
Low-FODMAP Diet MUST-HAVE tool!!!!
The ease of being able to scan a product to see if it’s low-FODMAP, moderate-FODMAP or high-FODMAP is incredible!!! No need to memorize all the millions of hidden or sneaky ingredients while trying to stay on a low-FODMAP diet. The app tells you which ingredients are moderate-FODMAP and high-FODMAP. SO once the elimination and challenge phases are done, this app can still be a valuable too!! Just avoid those food that contain your triggers!Show lessMrsKJKelly
Amazing FODMAP Scanner App
This app is exactly what the FODMAP world needs! You just scan a product barcode and see what FODMAPs are in the item. I have bought countless products I thought were safe then turned out to have less noticeable high FODMAP ingredients on the label. It’s so much easier to just scan right in the store than for me to try and look it up.
I am truly grateful for this app and believe it’s going to keep getting even better!Show lessKylisco
Best find so far
After doing some research on what FODMAP is, I found myself so confused! Thank God this app is around! I’m a newbie and the doctor recommended I start this low FODMAP diet to see if it will alleviate IBS. So as a newbie I went shopping and tried to buy things I thought were low FODMAP by looking at ingredients. Well, needless to say after finding this app on one of the articles I was reading, I began scanning the things I purchased and over 50% of the stuff I bought was high!!!! Ugh! I’m just so grateful to this app is around so I can truly see if low FODMAP diet works and hopefully feel better. So far the scanning and search engine are working with no glitch! A little slow but it works! And I’m super grateful! Thank you!!!
Update: Saturday and it’s not working!!!! Noooooooooo whyyyyyyy the weekend is when it’s needed the mos! Pleaaaassseeee make it work!Show lessAre u awsome

We're so grateful for the review, thank you! And oh no, what's happening? If you need help, please email support@spoonfulapp.com. We'll take care of it ASAP!Thank you!
If you are new to the FODMAP diet and feeling like you’re going to starve and/or you’ll never be able to find food within these new restrictions then relax, this app has got you. Even if you’ve been eating FODMAP for awhile you’ll find the ability to scan labels for HIGH FODMAP ingredients super helpful. Thank you for making grocery shopping and my life easier!Show lessTravisJKehoe
