A clearer food record.
Less guessing from memory.
Log meals as they happen, refine ingredients and portions, and. Where data is available. Use the meal’s FODMAP level plus moderate- and high-FODMAP ingredient flags to build a history you can actually revisit.
- Ingredients, not just a meal name
- A serving you can correct
- 7- and 30-day FODMAP context
How it
works?
Quick log → corrected ingredients → clear FODMAP context
- 01 Start with the meal
Use a photo, barcode, label, text, or voice, then review the foods the app placed in the entry.
- 02 Correct what you know
Adjust ingredients and portions when the first reading does not match what you ate. The saved entry should reflect your best available information.
- 03 Review the FODMAP view
See the meal’s low, moderate, or high FODMAP level and which ingredients are flagged as higher-FODMAP. This is food context, not a prediction of symptoms.
- 04 Return to the history
Look back at meals and servings by date when preparing for a dietitian visit or following a plan that has already been agreed with a professional.
What you can
review.
- Ingredients, not just a meal name
Return to the entry and see which parts of a mixed meal were flagged as moderate- or higher-FODMAP, so sauces, sides, and toppings stay visible.
- A serving you can correct
Ingredients and amounts stay editable, so a photo estimate can become a more useful record of what was actually eaten.
- 7- and 30-day FODMAP context
When enough meals contain supporting data, the statistics view can show low-FODMAP adherence across the selected period instead of reducing the story to one plate.
- Fiber remains visible
Restrictive eating can change more than FODMAP exposure. Reviewing fiber and the rest of the meal helps keep the wider nutrition record in view.
- A cleaner record for trigger conversations
Match the dated food history with symptoms recorded in your care plan, then bring both to a clinician or dietitian for a more specific review.
Put it into
practice.
Use the same meal record differently at each stage of a professionally guided plan.
- Baseline Record ordinary meals first
Log what you normally eat before changing several foods at once. Keep any symptoms in a separate diary, using the same dates and times.
- Restriction Check the plan against the plate
During a time-limited plan agreed with a dietitian, use the meal level, flagged ingredients, portions, and fiber total to review what was actually eaten.
- Reintroduction Keep the challenge food identifiable
Log the food and serving selected in your professional plan. Match the entry to symptoms recorded elsewhere; the app does not decide whether the food caused them.
- Personalization Remember what stayed in
Use meal history to revisit foods and servings that fit the personalized plan, so the record supports variety rather than indefinite broad restriction.
What you’ll get in
the first week.
One week can establish a usable recording routine. It cannot diagnose IBS or prove a trigger.
Log a usual day and review the ingredients and portions without changing the menu.
Keep recording ordinary meals, including uncomplicated ones, and keep symptoms in a separate dated note if that is part of your care plan.
Review which entries need correction and which meals have incomplete or higher-FODMAP flags before sharing the record with a professional.
Frequently asked
questions.
What the IBS and FODMAP view can help you record, and where clinical interpretation begins.
Can 3sense Food identify my IBS triggers?+
No. The app does not record symptoms and cannot establish that a food caused a reaction. It can organize meals, portions, nutrient totals, and FODMAP flags for you to review alongside a separate symptom record.
What FODMAP information does the app show?+
It shows a low, moderate, or high FODMAP level for the meal and highlights ingredients flagged as higher-FODMAP. These are categorical food flags, not a laboratory measurement of your meal or your personal response.
Why should I review the portion?+
FODMAP guidance is serving-dependent, and photo-based portions are estimates. Correcting an entry helps the saved food record match what you know about the meal.
Can I use it during a low-FODMAP elimination phase?+
It can support the food-recording side of a time-limited plan designed with a qualified dietitian. It does not choose foods, assess whether restriction is appropriate, or monitor your clinical response.
Can it support FODMAP reintroduction?+
It can record the selected challenge food, serving, and date. Keep symptoms separately and follow the sequence and interpretation provided by your dietitian or clinician.
Is a strict low-FODMAP diet intended for the long term?+
Clinical guidance describes restriction as a limited phase followed by reintroduction and personalization. The long-term aim is usually the least restrictive pattern that is appropriate for the individual.
What if the app does not have enough FODMAP information for a meal?+
Treat missing coverage as unknown. Do not read it as low FODMAP, and do not make a clinical decision from the absence of a flag.
When should I speak with a clinician?+
Speak with a clinician before treating undiagnosed symptoms as IBS. Prompt assessment is important for bleeding, black or bloody stools, anemia, unexplained weight loss, or other severe, persistent, or rapidly changing symptoms.
