Description:

A mobile phone app for IBS sufferers and people that for one reason or another follow the FODMAP diet. The app makes use of your phone’s camera to take a picture of the ingredient’s sections on a food label and quickly comes back with a Green/Red flag to indicate whether or not the products are safe to eat or if it is likely to trigger IBS.
