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.

The one frustration, which I know can be easily fixed, is when you tap an item in the alphabetical list to get more detail on it and then use the back button l, it does not go back where you left off. It starts back at the top of the alphabet. So if you look at more detail on lentils for example, it goes back to the “A’s” and you have to scroll back down to pick up where you left off. Overall, it is still excellent for a free app. I don’t use the premium version. ### 2/5 — Bare bones list by ingredients only *2021-08-07* Majority of things I look up are not in the database It’s by ingredients only for non-adventurous eaters, vs by name of a food dish so you have to look up every ingredient. Slow and cumbersome. ### 5/5 — Great easy to use. *2020-11-16* Simple to get the Fodmap information quickly. ### 5/5 — Really useful *2020-09-30* Simple to use. It has all the info I need.

Very helpful for tracking foods. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-01-30* Handy ### 5/5 — Useful *2019-12-02* Seems to cover a lot more than other apps, especially condiments like onion or garlic powder. Find I use it a lot now. ### 1/5 — Nope. *2019-09-23* Do not bother. I used to be able to use this app all of The time. But now it says you have to have the “ premium” to see any info. Well there is no “ premium” in the app store. I guess I will have to GUESS and suffer The consequences. ### 4/5 — Fodmap app *2019-02-19* Really good app. Just wish there were more foods on the list.
