Built by someone who lives with IBS

FODMAP Scanner started as a personal tool, made to answer one frustrating question: what can I actually eat?

Why I built it

I have IBS. When I first learned that certain foods could be the cause of my symptoms, I found it hard to work out what was safe to eat. Ingredient lists are long, many ingredients have unfamiliar names, and a food that looks harmless can contain onion powder, inulin or a sweetener that causes trouble.

I am an independent app developer, and I already had apps published on the App Store and Google Play. So I built the tool I wished I had: an app that reads the label for me and tells me in seconds whether a food is likely to be a problem.

What the app does

You can scan a barcode, photograph an ingredient list, or search for a food by name. FODMAP Scanner analyzes the ingredients against published low FODMAP research and shows a clear result, with notes on why. It also includes a Reintroduction Helper for testing one FODMAP group at a time, and a symptom tracker to help you spot patterns.

This website follows the same idea. The food guide answers common questions such as whether a single food is low FODMAP, and the blog explains the diet in plain language. Our FAQ covers pricing, accuracy and how your data is handled.

What it is not

I am not a doctor or a dietitian, and FODMAP Scanner is not a medical product. It is a guide to make everyday food choices easier. A low FODMAP diet works best with the support of a healthcare professional, especially during the elimination and reintroduction phases.
