Use case · IBS & sensitive gut
Stop guessing what
was on the plate
Log meals in seconds and see the FODMAP dose at the serving you actually ate, so the food half of the record is exact instead of remembered
How it
works?
Simple inputs → clearer patterns → practical routines
- 01 Photograph the plate
One frame is a complete meal log. Portions are editable to the gram.
- 02 Read the dose
FODMAP context arrives with the entry, attached to your serving rather than the recipe name.
- 03 Keep the record
Export a clean food history when you see a dietitian, instead of forty pages of notes.
Why this
helps?
- Dose, not verdicts
A food list answers for a serving somebody else chose. Your log answers for the one you ate.
- Evidence states, not guesses
Every value says whether it was laboratory tested, published, an ingredient caution, or simply not available.
- Honest about its limits
We log food. We do not log symptoms, we do not diagnose, and we say so rather than implying otherwise.

Frequently asked
questions.
What 3sense Food does, and does not do, for a sensitive gut.
How quickly will I see useful patterns?+
A few weeks of consistent meal logs is usually enough for repeat offenders to become visible. What we give you is an exact food record with the FODMAP dose at your serving; noticing how you felt is still your own note to keep.
What should I track to get value without tracking everything?+
One photo per meal is enough to start. Consistency beats detail, and a photo takes less effort than a written entry, which is why people abandon written diaries first.
Do you track symptoms?+
No. 3sense Food logs food. We would rather do the food half properly than ship a symptom feature we have not built and imply the app can connect the two for you.
Can stress and sleep affect gut symptoms?+
They can, for many people, which is exactly why food alone rarely explains a bad week. Treat this as one input among several rather than the whole picture.
Can I use this during an elimination diet or reintroduction phase?+
Yes, for the food side of it. A reintroduction challenge runs on exact doses, and that is what an entry records: the food, the serving, and the FODMAP context at that serving. A structured diet is best run with a dietitian.
Where do the FODMAP values come from?+
Laboratory-tested data where it exists for that specific product, published values where it does not, and an explicit ingredient caution where only the ingredient list is known. Processing changes FODMAP content, so an ingredient list alone cannot settle it.
Do I need to log every meal or just the ones that cause problems?+
Consistent logging, even of dull meals, beats logging only the bad days: without the ordinary days there is nothing to compare a bad one against. If you are busy, one meal a day is a real start.
What if my symptoms are severe or changing?+
Severe, persistent or rapidly changing symptoms belong with a clinician, not an app. 3sense Food organises what you ate; it does not diagnose anything.
Where can I learn more about IBS and diet approaches?+
