Ingredo.app for IBS and the Low-FODMAP diet

Turn on the Low-FODMAP / IBS profile and Ingredo.app flags high-FODMAP ingredients — like onion, garlic, wheat, and certain sweeteners — as a caution on every food you scan, with the reasoning cited. This is general Low-FODMAP guidance, not Monash-certified testing.

FODMAP tolerance is individual, so nothing here is a hard block — a caution flag means "this commonly triggers IBS symptoms," not "this is unsafe for everyone."

Reintroduction and elimination phases work best with a dietitian; Ingredo.app is a scanning aid, not a replacement for that guidance.

What Ingredo.app flags for a Low-FODMAP profile

Common high-FODMAP ingredients are flagged as a caution; nothing is hard-blocked, since tolerance varies.

Common triggers (caution)

Caution
  • Onion and garlic (fructans)
  • Wheat-based products in large amounts
  • High-fructose fruits (apple, mango, honey)
  • Polyols: sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol
  • Lactose (see also our Lactose profile)

Good match

Good
  • Low-FODMAP staples with no flagged ingredients
  • Products free of the common trigger list above

Common questions

No — our guidance is general, based on published high-FODMAP ingredient lists, not Monash University's laboratory-tested app. Use it as a screening aid, not a certified rating.

FODMAP tolerance varies a lot between people and even by portion size, so we flag common triggers as a caution rather than an absolute avoid.

Informational, not medical advice — always check the label. FODMAP guidance here is general, not Monash-certified; if you have IBS, work with a dietitian for elimination and reintroduction, and confirm ingredients on the physical label.
