Finally, an IBS app built around women's bodies. Log flares in three taps, see which foods and which days of your cycle keep showing up before the bad days, and follow the low-FODMAP diet with a guide that holds your hand. FODMAP is for women with IBS who are tired of guessing. Your gut isn't random, and neither is your cycle. There is a pattern. Let's find it. YOUR GUT AND YOUR CYCLE More than half of women with IBS flare more around their period. Tell FODMAP when your last period started, or import it read-only from Apple Health, and see which phase of your cycle your flares cluster in. Your daily risk takes it into account. FIND YOUR TRIGGER FOODS Every food you log carries its FODMAP group. FODMAP looks at what you ate in the 48 hours before each flare and ranks your suspect foods by the evidence in your own logs. A ranked list of suspects to test, never a diagnosis. KNOW A FLARE BEFORE IT HITS A daily flare risk built from your recent meals, your suspect foods, your flare rhythm, your stress and sleep, and your cycle phase. See what is driving it and what to go easy on today. THE LOW-FODMAP PLAN, GUIDED Elimination with a food guide, then one-FODMAP-at-a-time reintroduction challenges with guided doses, then your personal tolerance profile. The full method, without hiring a dietitian to walk you through it. LOG IT IN SECONDS, EVEN ON THE WORST DAYS Flares, meals, Bristol scale, stress and sleep. Three taps when you feel awful, a photo of the meal when you can. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Export a PDF or CSV with your flares, suspect foods, stool pattern and IBS-SSS score for your next appointment. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Your health data, including your cycle, stays on your device. Also inside: the IBS-SSS severity questionnaire, a Rome IV stool-pattern summary, a what-can-I-eat food guide across eight categories, and full support in English, German, Dutch, Spanish and Polish. SUBSCRIPTION FODMAP requires a subscription after setup: $39.95 per year or $8.95 per month (local prices may vary). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://getfodmap.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getfodmap.app/privacy Terms of Use (Apple standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ FODMAP is a tracking and planning tool, not a medical device, and never replaces advice from your doctor or dietitian.

Find the foods behind your bloating, IBS, and digestive symptoms with Settle, a private gut health diary that keeps everything on your iPhone. There is no account to create and no cloud sign-up. Your data syncs only through your own iCloud, and it is never sent to a company server. Why Settle is different Most trackers ask you to hand your most personal health data to their servers. Settle does the opposite. Your logs live on your device, and the food-to-symptom patterns are calculated right on your iPhone. They are worded as possible patterns, never as a diagnosis or a made-up score. What you can log - Bowel movements on the Bristol Stool Scale, with a fast visual picker - Symptoms like bloating, gas, cramping, nausea, heartburn, urgency, or your own custom label - Meals and food tags, so you can connect what you ate to how you felt - Daily check-ins for mood, stress, sleep, energy, water, and cycle context - Medication and supplements, with dose and timing Find your trigger foods Settle looks at what you ate before a symptom appeared and ranks the likely culprits. You get clear patterns instead of guesswork, so you can test changes with confidence. Made for your doctor visit Export a free CSV copy of your data or a clean PDF summary for a GP, gastroenterologist, or dietitian. You walk into the appointment with a record, not a memory. Private by design - Every entry is stored on your device - Sync is optional and runs through your personal iCloud - Works without a login and never runs third-party tracking - You can delete everything in one tap, any time Free, with an optional upgrade Logging, CSV export, and PDF summaries are free and unlimited. Premium adds your complete history, every trend chart, the food-to-symptom analysis, and custom reminders. Premium is billed monthly or annually, and the annual plan costs less than most gut trackers charge. A calmer way to understand your gut Settle is built to feel quiet and clear, the kind of app you actually want to open on a bad gut day. Start logging today and let the patterns come to you. Settle is a wellness and tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified health professional about your symptoms. terms of use (EULA) https://settleyourgut.com/legal/terms-of-use privacy policy https://settleyourgut.com/legal/privacy-policy
