ABOUT THE FOOD GUIDE

Where the food ratings come from

The guide uses the app’s built-in core food list. Each page shows the estimated rating for a named food at the serving recorded in the app.

Which foods appear here

The website takes food names, groups, ratings, reference servings and any available four-group scores from the Flutter app’s core list. The names come from the app’s English labels. External product lookups and the app’s separate open-source foods are excluded.

We publish one page for each food name with an unambiguous core record. The 2 records named Pear have conflicting ratings at the same serving, so neither appears here. A Pear page can be added after the app data is corrected.

How to read a rating

The low, moderate or high label belongs to the food and serving shown. It is an educational estimate, not a lab measurement, a certified low FODMAP limit or a prediction of your symptoms. Amount, ripeness, preparation and packaged ingredients may change the profile.

Some food records include separate app scores for oligosaccharides, fructose, lactose and polyols. Those scores are not measured grams. Other records have only an overall classification; their pages say so instead of displaying a group breakdown.

The app also combines available estimates into a meal score. Read the FODMAP stacking guide to see how that score works and where it has limits.

Review and corrections

The app describes these values as curated estimates. Its core records do not name a clinical reviewer or cite a lab result for each food. The reading below explains diet and serving size in general; it does not verify any rating in this list.

To report an error, email the Bloat Gone team with the page URL, food name, serving and what seems wrong. Corrections go into the app data first, then into a new website snapshot.

For general reading, see Monash University on serving size and NIDDK on eating and IBS. Discuss major diet changes with a qualified clinician or dietitian.
