## What is GutGuide?

Eating well with a digestive condition shouldn't feel like guesswork. GutGuide helps you figure out what to eat — and what to skip — across 16 digestive conditions, including IBS, GERD, celiac disease, SIBO, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, gastritis, lactose intolerance, and more.

SCAN FOOD LABELS INSTANTLY

Each verdict — okay, caution, or avoid — comes with a plain-language explanation of why, plus a link to a reputable medical source. No more squinting at ingredient lists in the grocery aisle.

175 CONDITION-FRIENDLY RECIPES
Every recipe is mapped to the conditions it suits, with prep times, servings, and nutrition estimates. Filter by your condition and find breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas that won't upset your gut — from low-FODMAP dinners to gentle, low-acid comfort food.
