GutScan helps you identify high-FODMAP ingredients in packaged foods so you may better understand what you eat β€” without guessing. Scan any food's barcode or photograph its ingredient label. GutScan reads the ingredients, checks them against a comprehensive FODMAP reference list, and shows you exactly which ingredients may be worth watching β€” and why. KEY FEATURES: β€’ Barcode & Ingredient Scanner β€” Scan barcodes or photograph ingredient labels using on-device OCR. Everything is processed locally; your data is never shared. β€’ Explainable Results β€” Every result tells you what was found, which specific ingredients were flagged, and why. No black-box scores. β€’ Serving Size Context β€” High-risk at a full serving? GutScan shows whether a smaller portion might be more suitable for your tracking goals. β€’ Smart Alternatives β€” For flagged ingredients, see commonly low-FODMAP swaps (e.g., swap honey for maple syrup). β€’ Meal & Symptom Journal β€” Log meals and symptoms together to spot personal patterns over time. β€’ Phase-Aware Tracking β€” Set your current phase (Elimination, Reintroduction, or Maintenance) for context-aware summaries. β€’ Trend Insights β€” Review which foods appear most frequently before higher-severity symptom days. All pattern language is informational. β€’ Privacy First β€” No account required. All data stays on your device by default. Export is always user-initiated. Free Pro Week: Every new user receives 7 days of full Pro access β€” no credit card required. SUBSCRIPTION INFO: β€’ GutScan Pro Monthly: $8.99/month β€’ GutScan Pro Annual: $59.99/year Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
