## What is Fast FODMAP Lookup & Learn?

The fastest way to look up which foods are High, Low or Medium FODMAP foods. 8x faster than the Monash University app*.

The best way to learn and remember which foods have High, Low or Medium FODMAPs. Using modern space repetition learning games to train your brain is fun and effective.

The lookup function focuses on just SPEED and ACCURACY. The two things that matter most when you are trying to follow a low FODMAP lifestyle. As soon as the app launches you can start typing and see the results as you type (an idiom called incremental searching). Looking up a food item should not be a pain, it should be FAST and EFFORTLESS.

We have found that decreasing effort and friction to lookup foods leads to more lookups per user and greater knowledge and more FODMAP friendly dietary choices.  

* Our studies have shown that Fast FODMAP Lookup has, on average, an 8 fold reduction in elapsed time to locate a food's overall FODMAP level.  

Other benefits over the Monash App:
- It works offline (Search)
- Faster and more intuitive diary
- Powerful weekly meal planner
- Link with your dietitian for personalized feedback
- It is gratis for you

Fast FODMAP may ask for access to your step count data if you are linked with a dietitian who has requested it or you choose to enable step tracking. Collection of this data is completely optional. We integrate with Apple's Health App to achieve this. The data will be handled and used in accordance with Nourishly's privacy policy and terms of service.

### 1/5 — NOT WORTH IT

*2026-08-05, version 3.6.2*

Cannot find anything even close to what looks like a functional app. Putting a list in the app with NO info under most tabs. I only see the diary as a helpful way to keep track of anything. LEARN tab goes to A (one) website, but not showing the info shown in the app slides here. I cannot see HOW that info would find its way there. No menu suggestions?

Also, I am TRAPPED in the section to view logs. NO WAY OUT except hard quit.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-21, version 3.6.2*

Conflicting search results and Redundant results. Doesn’t know what Pepperoni is, etc.
AI garbage.

### 1/5 — Bbq sauce low 😂

*2026-07-13, version 3.6.2*

This app says that barbeque sauce is low on the map 🤦‍♂️

### 5/5 — Perfect app for tracking

*2026-06-01, version 3.6.2*

It includes so much. I am very happy I found this app. Was trying to keep notes but this makes it so much more accurate. Well done!

### 1/5 — I was charged $11.99 for this app

*2026-05-21, version 3.6.2*

### 5/5 — Smart idea

*2026-05-20, version 3.6.2*

Knowledgeable app

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-04-22, version 3.6.2*

Super grateful for this app, makes ordering food so easy!

### 1/5 — Incorrect info all over

*2026-03-26, version 3.6.2*

This app is a joke. Look up an item and it will show up multiple times with different levels of fodmap. For example tea with soy milk is listed as both low and then again as high. Tea with cow milk is listed as low!!! We all know dairy milk is high fodmap. Deleting after less than one day of use. Unreliable info that will not help you.

### 5/5 — IBS

*2025-12-20, version 3.5.9*

i recently had gone to the hospital for sharp pains in my stomach after waking up to it i ate garlic before i fell asleep and they told me to start a food diary this is %100 helpful in all aspects and even includes my mood, place, and satisfaction after eating. lots of helpful information that i can easily wright down within a few seconds and with someone who works i reccoment this app to anyone. love it

### 2/5 — Find tomato under “c”

*2025-12-12, version 3.5.9*

The alphabetizing is ridiculous. Tomato is under “c” for canned tomato and not in “t”. Lots of odd vegetables but missing a lot of coming ones.
