This is not worth $9. The food diary is just plain text and not connected to the app's food database, so it's just as effective as writing in a notebook. The search functions in the food database are limited. There's no option to search by the type of carb to locate high FODMAP foods to use in the challenge/reintroduction phase. You just have to look up every.single.ingredient. The filtering options are probably helpful once you know what you're trying to avoid, but useless in phase 2.

Hi Melinda, we're sorry you are disappointed with the app. We appreciate the feedback regarding linking the food guide and diary. In step 2, you can use the reintroduction function in the diary (symbol on the top right with the apple and arrow) to guide you through which foods, and how much, to use.

My main use case is the Diary for tracking IBS related systems. I believe there is a bug in the Diary right now, when you log in you will see the top date bar always on the previous date, but the bottom window that shows the contents of your diary will be empty. When you record it will always go to the previous date (unless you manually adjust to the proper date) and record it at 0000. I am not sure if there is a gitlab project page for formal bug.

Using this to finally start the FODmap diet that I've been putting off for years. The diary functionality is frustrating for a paid app. It often opens/defaults to the day before (but not always?), so I have to go back and edit if i forget to catch that. The options for BMs are pretty limited. Might be nice to have a water tracker/log of some sort as well instead if having to make a personal note or count it with meals. Symptoms, intake, and output are important, so the diary could be improved.
