Scan a label, know what's in it. Settled is a FODMAP scanner and IBS tracker: barcode and ingredient scanning, real-time FODMAP stacking alerts, guided elimination and reintroduction phases, and meal-symptom correlation insights. All based on peer-reviewed research. SCAN ANY LABEL Barcode scanner identifies hidden FODMAPs in packaged foods. Ingredient text analysis flags garlic, onion, and other high-FODMAP ingredients — even in "2% or less" sections. REAL-TIME FODMAP STACKING ALERTS Log meals with per-serving FODMAP breakdowns across all six subgroups (fructans, GOS, lactose, fructose, sorbitol, mannitol). Get instant warnings when foods combine to exceed safe thresholds in a single meal — the #1 hidden cause of symptoms on a "low-FODMAP" diet. DISCOVER YOUR PERSONAL TRIGGERS Track symptoms, bowel habits, stress, sleep, exercise type, hydration, and menstrual cycle. Settled's correlation engine uses peer-reviewed timing windows (Van den Houte 2024) and Bayesian confidence scoring to help you distinguish real food triggers from lifestyle confounds — so you stop blaming the wrong foods. GUIDED 3-PHASE PROTOCOL Follow the clinically validated elimination → reintroduction → management pathway. Systematic 3-day food challenges with dose escalation. Personal tolerance map shows exactly what you can and can't eat. FLARE MODE WITH GUIDED BREATHING Activate flare mode for a 3-day gut rest with stricter thresholds. Built-in 4-6 breathing exercise (clinically studied for IBS) helps calm the gut-brain axis when symptoms hit. DAILY GOALS Optional water and fiber tracking right on your dashboard. Quick-add common sizes or enter custom amounts (oz or ml, your choice). Low hydration is automatically factored into your trigger analysis. MEDICATION & SUPPLEMENT TRACKING Log peppermint oil, antispasmodics, probiotics, and supplements alongside meals. See which interventions actually move the needle on your symptoms. YOUR FODMAP PROFILE See your top triggers, safe foods, and sensitive FODMAP types at a glance. Weekly summaries with food variety tracking, fiber intake, and compliance trends. FODMAP-SIMPLE MODE New research shows most people only react to 2-3 FODMAP types. Switch to Simple mode to track only fructans and GOS — less restriction, same results. BUILT FOR YOUR JOURNEY • Guest mode — start tracking instantly, no account required • Post-meal symptom check-in reminders • IBS-SSS severity scoring to measure real progress • Eating habits screening for safe food tracking • HealthKit integration for sleep, exercise, and water • Measurement system picker: US, UK, Metric (g/ml), Auto, or All • Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type accessibility • Export reports to share with your dietitian • Dark mode support BUILT ON SCIENCE FODMAP thresholds from Varney et al. (2017). Food composition data from USDA FoodData Central and peer-reviewed FODMAP research, including studies by Monash University researchers. Every food cites its source. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Not just the interface. The food database and ingredient scanner are localized too, and Settled follows your device language automatically. Settled is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice. The low-FODMAP diet should be followed with guidance from a registered dietitian. Settled Premium unlocks correlation insights, guided phases, barcode scanning, IBS-SSS tracking, medication tracking, and weekly reports.
