Fodmap Helper - Diet Companion

A FODMAP diet helper tool to make identification of low FODMAP and high FODMAP foods easier to help your with your FODMAP friendly diet. The FODMAP diet can be useful for people with IBS / Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's disease, Colitis, Lactose Intolerance and various other food intolerances, food sensitivities, and stomach problems.

Features include:
- Comprehensive list of foods and whether they are low FODMAP or high FODMAP foods, to make finding foods for your low FODMAP diet easier.
- Search by food name.
- Lookup by food category.
- General FODMAP Diet and Irritable Bowel Syndrome / IBS, Crohn's disease, Colitis, Lactose Intolerence info.

PREMIUM Features Include:
Additional FODMAP Details - With the premium version of the app you get advanced details on the specific FODMAP breakdowns of each food and whether it is high, medium, or low in the main FODMAP categories of Polyols, Oligos, Fructose, and Lactose. If the level is marked as "low" for a specific FODMAP type it can be assumed that the food is essentially free of it. For example a food marked as "low" lactose is Essentially lactose free.

My Experience - Log your personal experience with foods to determine if a food works for you regardless of its FODMAP rating. Rate whether you had a good or bad reaction to a food after eating it, then leave detailed notes so that you know for next time how said food will affect you.

Community Experience - See how the community has reacted to a food via anonymized My Experience ratings. This will let you know if the majority of users of the app had a good or bad reaction to a food regardless of its FODMAP content.

My Experience and Community Experience data analysis - Advanced graphs and data analysis present the my experience and community experience data to you in a useful and intuitive format to show you breakdowns of good and bad reactions to the various food categories as well as what your worst specific FODMAPs are.

About FODMAPs
FODMAPs are short chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine, especially for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome / IBS, Crohn's disease, Colitis, Lactose Intolerance, Gluten Intolerance, other food intolerances and stomach sensitivities. They include short chain oligo-saccharide polymers of fructose (fructans) and galactooligosaccharides (GOS, stachyose, raffinose), disaccharides (lactose), monosaccharides (fructose), and sugar alcohols (polyols), such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and maltitol.

The term FODMAP is an acronym, derived from:

*Fermentable
*Oligo-
*Di-
*Mono-saccharides
*And
*Polyols

Although FODMAPs are naturally present in food and the human diet, FODMAP diet restriction has been found to improve symptom control in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), such as Lactose Intolerance, Gluten Intolerance, Crohn's disease, Colitis, and other stomach sensitivities. Prior to the formation of the FODMAP concept, diet was seldom used as first line therapy for management of IBS, Crohn's, Colitis, Lactose intolerance and other FGID.
