Has anyone tried this app? www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/docs/user-guide.pdf
It looks like it could be great -- it has a database of 350 foods and it displays a green, yellow, or red light to indicate how the food should be tolerated. Of course, the issue that I always run into is that something that should be tolerated well, like kiwi, simply doesn't work for my daughter. In this app, there is a section on "My Filters" where you can slide an indicator from no sensitivity to high sensitivity -- and then all foods will be green lighted based on YOUR reactions instead of the FM population at large.
There is a section with recipes and another with a One Week Challenge. During the one-week challenge, you can monitor your gastrointestinal symptoms on a sliding scale ("excellent, not at all" to "the worst it's been, really awful") -- which can be really handy for parents of FM sufferers. It may be an easy way to get the kids involved in tracking their own symptoms. Then at the end of the week, you can print out the journal for doctor or nutritionist visits.
It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it if works well. Before making the plunge, I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet...
