Elimination was never the finish line.

Back on the Menu walks you through the low-FODMAP reintroduction. One food group at a time, three days with growing portions, and a clear answer at the end: what’s fine, how much, and what to keep low for now.

Coming soon to the App StoreFor iPhone, in English and German.

Week 4 of my reintroduction

  1. Cow’s milk Tolerated, 1 cup
  2. Wheat bread Tolerated, 2 slices
  3. Honey Small amounts OK, 1 tsp
  4. Garlic, cooked Gave me symptoms, for now
  5. Onion, cooked Day 2 today, ¼ cup
  6. Avocado Not tested yet

Each food: three days, three portions, then two calm days.

One food, three days, two calm days.

Garlic as an example. These are common starting amounts. If your dietitian gave you different ones, use theirs.

  1. Day 1¼ cloveEat it with an otherwise low-FODMAP meal. In the evening, say how the day went.
  2. Day 2½ cloveWent fine? A little more.
  3. Day 31 cloveA normal portion.
  4. Days 4 and 5WashoutBack to low FODMAP, so the next test starts calm.

If a portion brings moderate or severe symptoms, the test stops there and the washout starts early. Every test ends with one of three answers: tolerated, small amounts OK, or gave you symptoms, for now.

Tolerance changes, so you can test any group again later.

A plan, a diary and one page for your dietitian.

One check-in each evening
Rate the day in one tap, then add symptoms, the Bristol stool scale or a note. That check-in rates the portion you ate.
Eight food groups
Lactose, fructose, sorbitol, mannitol, wheat, garlic, onion and GOS, each with a test food and three portions in cups and spoons.
Your food profile
What went fine, what works in small amounts and what to keep low for now, as a picture you can share.
One page for your appointment
A PDF report for your dietitian or GI, instead of scrolling through weeks of notes.

A diary, not a diagnosis.

Back on the Menu helps you track a low-FODMAP reintroduction. It doesn’t diagnose or treat anything. Check with your doctor or a dietitian before changing how you eat.

See a doctor first, and don’t self-test, if you have blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, fever, symptoms that wake you at night, or symptoms that started after age 50.
