Hi there

This is your diary. Log every meal and any symptom as it happens. The more honest and complete the log, the sooner Insights can tell you what's causing trouble.
    This is your menu. Every dish here fits all three diets. Search an ingredient (chicken, steak, oats…), tap ♥ to pin a dish into your plan, and “Log it” when you eat it. Dishes with your trigger foods are hidden automatically.

    Build your diet

    This is where you rate foods. Tap any food to mark it Safe, Suspect or Trigger and jot a note (“fine in small amounts”, “only when fried”). Your ratings color the whole app — the diary, the menu and Insights.

    Your food list

    Badges show Monash University's FODMAP rating and the largest low-FODMAP serving. Your own rating is what the app trusts most.

      This tab is read-only — it's what your logs add up to. It updates every time you log. Give it a week or two of consistent entries before trusting the verdicts.

      The numbers

      Symptoms, last 14 days

      Bar height is the worst severity that day; the dots underneath are days you logged food.

      Foods ranked by what followed them

      How often a symptom started within the window after eating each food, compared with your overall rate. A food needs 2 logs to appear, 3+ before it's called a likely trigger. Foods you always eat alongside a trigger can look guilty too — if a safe-looking staple like rice shows up here, check what it was served with.

        By FODMAP group

        Groups the high- and moderate-FODMAP foods you ate by their sugar type. If one group stands out, that's the one to test in a reintroduction challenge (You → Learn).

          Time of day

          Morning-heavy patterns often point to the previous evening's dinner.

            Your data

            Food ratings follow Monash University's FODMAP research with Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic and NHS guidance; diet guidance from Harvard Health, Harvard T.H. Chan, Johns Hopkins, the Arthritis Foundation, Stanford Medicine, NIDDK and the AGA; dishes adapted from Monash, FODMAP Everyday, A Little Bit Yummy, Fun Without FODMAPs, Kate Scarlata and others; formulas from Mifflin–St Jeor (1990), NASEM and the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines. Sources are listed under each Learn section. This is a self-tracking tool, not medical advice — check the Monash app for current ratings and talk to a dietitian before a long elimination.
