Everything You Need To Know About Monash University
If I could give you only one piece of advice, when it comes to starting the low-FODMAP diet, it would be to download the Monash FODMAP app.
Monash University is the world’s pioneer when it comes to the low-FODMAP diet. Located in Melbourne, Australia, the university developed the FODMAP app. An app aimed to provide guidance in your journey on the low-FODMAP diet, allowing you to regain control over your body and your symptoms.
“Backed by extensive lab testing and research, the Low-FODMAP diet differs from most in that it’s based on – and proven – by science. It’s not a fad, and it’s not a lifelong diet. It’s just a way for sufferers of IBS [ and / or SIBO ] to regain comfort and control.”*
What’s in the app?
The Monash FODMAP app contains “the largest database of FODMAP tested foods in the world, with regular free updates as new foods are tested.”*
With a traffic light system foods are classified as low-, moderate- or high in FODMAP’s. Allowing you to look up right about every food you can think of.
Additionally their app provides a bunch of advice on starting out on the low-FODMAP diet, with detailed explanations about what FODMAP’s are, the phases of the diet, how to read labels and way more.
It even contains a list with specialized dietitians all over the world, including their contact details.
It contains low-FODMAP recipes and a diary – which is perfect to keep track of your symptoms during the reintroduction phase of the low-FODMAP diet.
The app is an absolute necessity if you’re on the low-FODMAP diet or are about to start it and can be used as an excellent source of help – to make the low-FODMAP diet easier to understand for you, your friends & family.

Please note that we are NOT doctors & we do NOT provide any medical advice
If you’re struggling with symptoms – that could potentially be a gastrointestinal disorder like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) – we strongly suggest for you to seek medical help and recommend you to reach out to a healthcare professional, who can offer you the right guidance.
We want to emphasize that the low-FODMAP diet is a medically induced diet, that should be started only when a doctor diagnosed you with a gastrointestinal disorder and should always be done under strict supervision of a specialized dietician or other healthcare professional.
Nonetheless, we maintain strict policies when it comes to the prevention of spreading fake news. Our posts are written by research journalist @byellenmoore and are based upon both scientific research and her own personal experiences with being on the low-FODMAP diet, as a patient suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). We share what we know, to give you a better understanding of that from which you suffer, in order to make your journey – going low-FODMAP – a little bit easier!
