FODMAP meal planner for IBS sufferers

A mobile app that helps users with IBS plan meals that comply with the FODMAP diet. It would include recipe suggestions, ingredient substitutions, and symptom tracking.

Why now

With digestive health awareness rising, a specialized tool for FODMAP dieters could fill a gap beyond Monash's basic guide.

People with IBS struggle to identify and avoid high-FODMAP foods that trigger symptoms. Existing apps are either too generic or lack comprehensive food databases.

Build a mobile app with a FODMAP-filtered recipe database, meal planning tools, and a symptom tracker to help users correlate diet with relief.

Users would pay for premium features like personalized meal plans, grocery lists, and integration with nutritionists.

Start with a basic recipe filter and symptom log, then add meal planning and premium features.

The biggest risk is competing with established medical apps like Monash's, but a stronger focus on daily usability could differentiate.
