Not what I expected
I received many referrals to this app as I was working through my journey of IBS-C. This app does not work for the reintroduction phase of the process. I needed to the ability to refer back to reactions, remarks and type of food I was reacting to. This app is not user friendly for this stage and I will be looking for something else to use

Could be so much better
This could be so much more useful. The light system doesn’t say how much of the fodmap types are in how many grams of food, so it is difficult to determine how foods stack together in one meal. This would be so much better if you could build your own recipes to check the sum total fodmaps. Developers, please check out MacroFactor for an example of how nice this would be for users! The app FODMAPFriendly has a recipe building function, but their dataset often conflicts with yours. Still, that app makes it possible to see how fodmaps stack within a meal. This does seem necessary to me in order to follow the diet.

Saved me
This app genuinely saved me so much pain and discomfort when I was struggling with intense stomach issues. I would buy this app a million times over. Thank you!

Didn’t Help Me
Disclaimer: My dietician recommended this, so she gave me a lot of the information YOU may need this app for. But with youtube, google, and AI today, paying $10 for this app is unnecessary. I also found it difficult to use the traffic light system when grocery shopping because my big Canadian city is different than the specific items they were listing if it wasn’t a simple apple for ex. I also didn’t like the reintroduction category. I want to be able to look up an item in a food group and put in the amount and some notes. Simply selecting one of a few ingredients from the food group - then having it show the traffic light on my calendar isn’t helpful, I want to know if it worked for me or not, what symptoms did I have. Even free period apps have where you can input symptoms per day. This app appears to me as something that is just bare bones or at a beginning stage, it could come a long way to be helpful or worth payment. I wish I didn’t buy this app.

Response from developer
Hi there, we are sorry to hear that the app wasn’t helpful to you. In the ‘Diary’ section of the app, you can record daily symptoms, bowel movements and make additional notes. If you're happy to reach out to us at enquiry@monashfodmap.com, we would love to provide additional guidance.
Clunky and difficult to interpret
Should change from stop light to percentages/concentration of fodmaps.
