Contact Fast FODMAP Lookup Learn Support

I’ve used this app twice for a FODMAP diet. IMO, after using this to eat with for 3 months, it’s more trouble than it’s worth. On the surface it seems helpful, but it’s missing crucial info to make it helpful to people living with this diet.

1) Data is disorganized, missing, or needs editing. Sometimes there are multiple similar entries for the same foods. Just look at the oatmeal section if you don’t believe me. Or “coconut milk with insulin”- whatever that is supposed to be. Lots of foods are missing, too- inulin, pectin, celery powder, grape juice concentrate, raisin juice, gooseberries, etc.

2) Only the low ranges of “safe” foods are listed and their FODMAP categories aren’t listed (like the “unsafe” foods). The problem is that you can stack “safe” foods of the same type and trigger a reaction by eating too many of that type at the same time. How much of a safe food is too much?? Which foods can be combined safely?? This app does not help with that.

3) Also, the high fodmap foods don’t have a safe amount listed. I don’t need 8 Oz of OJ to make a marinade, I need like a few spoonfuls. So how much OJ is a safe amount? Why is the low range not provided?

Save yourself the trouble and cough up the $8.

Been using this app for months now. It’s mostly good but at times my husband would still have bad “IBS” days. We figured it was normal, you never know w IBS.

However, today he had Brussel sprouts and a blueberry smoothie in in the morning which are on the app as low (Not even medium). Well, he had a crazy bad IBS episode.

We follow this app like the Bible. Well I google blueberries and it states to be careful with the amount mostly in smoothies. And what about Brussel sprouts???? HIGH. They’re a High FodMap

This is the whole purpose of this app. I’m disappointed that it’s “mostly” good but not 100% accurate.

I recommend the Monash University app which is also called FODMAP. But make sure it’s the real one. It’s $8 dollars but it’s so worth it. Doesn’t seem to have erroneous information like this app.

So sad but can’t afford to have these IBS nightmares.

Now I wonder if those bad IBS episodes in the past were triggered by foods that are mistakenly labeled on this app. Very disappointing

My husband is just starting his low FODMAP diet, and as we were looking through the dairy and cheese sections in this app, we found the info provided wasn’t completely accurate. Many of the foods listed in those sections are at least medium, if not high FODMAP. But the app states that they are low- medium. This is a problem for someone new to the diet who is especially sensitive to dairy products. I would recommend doing a google search if you’re in doubt of the advice given on this app just to be on the safe side. It is very user friendly otherwise and for that I would recommend. I may just pay the 7.99 for another FODMAP diet app that may be more accurate.
