Super easy and helpful. Thanks for such a helpful app it helps a lot. You can make your own list of food to avoid or eat and drink

A must have food sensitivity guide. Very user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. All-encompassing with great explanations and summaries for all topics/categories. I have not come across any other app that provides such an in-depth and easily accessible food sensitivity guide. Great tool!!

Great Info and sorting tool. I just received the app and having the information about various food sensitivities in one place is very helpful. The app goes one extra step by allowing the foods to go on a self labeled list so that you can categorize the various foods to your individual sensitivities. For example, I have certain foods on highly sensitive, others in low sensitive, and then I plan to make a reintroduction list. I highly recommend it!

The End All App. The most comprehensive app for food sensitivities. If you have multiple sensitivities, this app will be your savior! I have had multiple apps, but this one beautifully blends the all. And I trust the research behind this one.

Well organized and easy to use!. Great app! So much info and well organized! Very easy to search and save data, love it!!

Great App!!!. I was looking for a list of lectin free food list. This app. helps me to confirm if any food I eat have lectin. It is very user friendly and easy to use. Thank you for making this app. I am a fun!!!

I like this quick reference !. This app is nice because it’s a no nonsense quick guide . I have a suspicion that I may have a gluten sensitivity and I think I’ll be using this app a lot to help me navigate which foods to eat and which ones to stay clear of.

Easy to use and comprehensive. This app is an excellent resource for checking a food/beverage for elements that may not agree with you. Could not be more straightforward. Highly recommend it.

A sensible easy-to-use specific food app. Finally! Great app that explains some of my food sensitivities. I love the three colors that alert the degree of concentration. With all this talk about nightshades, I'm happy to have an app that can easily say yes or no. Design is simple, elegant and easy to navigate. Really helps when I grocery shop now and I don't have to punch in measurements.

Food Sense. Excellent App! It's a lifesaver for those learning about food sensitivities and an applicable way. I only wish it had more foods or an advanced version...😁

Thank you, Melanie!. I appreciate and admire Melanie’s passion for health and healing. Her own passion shows in her podcasts, food sense guide, and now, supplements. I’m grateful that she is willing to put it all out there to help others! This Food Sense Guide makes it easy to look at the foods I’m eating and how they might be affecting me. Thanks, again, Melanie, for all you do and share.

Love It!!. Highly recommend this app—but have a request: could you please include info about lectin content in each of the foods listed? Your app would be wildly popular with the Plant Paradox followers!

Love this app. This is such an easy to use app if in a grocery store just type in a food item! Only thing that I don’t like is that garbanzo bean or chickpea is not listed 😔

Highly Recommended. Living with undiagnosed salicylate sensitivity for years, this app has become a go-to for solid info in this ever growing area of medical study. It was crucial at the beginning of my eventual overcoming the problem, and continues to be invaluable and unrivaled. R. Anderson, Nashville TN

Fantastic app. Melanie has done a great job with this app! Heck, all her work is great - I love her podcast too! Highly recommend!!

This App has all the things.... ...you could want to track the compounds in foods that may both you or trigger symptoms. Easy to use and very nearly every food you will ever eat. Great app!

Much needed resource!. Great app. Helpful information, easy to use and responsive support. I use this app daily for my many restrictions and tricky diet.

Amazing. This app is incredible. It’s easy to use and filled with such useful information. I’m amazed how often I turn to this useful app. Thank you Melanie for all your hard work.

Extremely helpful tool that makes eating less stressful!!. Melanie Avalon has created an app that caters to my exact needs of understanding why certain foods don’t agree with me. Whenever I eat something that causes discomfort/gastrointestinal distress/brain fog/ whatever(!), I log onto this app and am quickly able to figure out what compounds in that food likely are the culprits. It’s helped me narrow down which compounds specifically don’t work for me as I have been able to cross reference reactions from different foods to determine commonalities, and therefore, am able to identify what is problematic for me. I appreciate this app so much and recommend it to anyone who has inexplicable negative symptoms after eating.

So so. This has a nice easy to use format. But the lists are not very complete as an example tuna is not listed even though that's a very common food. Many other foods are missing as well. As an example eggs and egg egg whites are separate entries but there is no entry for a whole egg which many people feel is safe to eat. Disappointing because the format is very easy to use and the ability to create lists is very helpful. This app has been around a long time, sadly they have not added more foods. There is no information about food additives which cause symptoms for many people.

Amazing!. I was so thrilled to find the Food Sense App. So much dedication and hard work went into making this and I am so happy with it. I especially love that I can go through the sections of food, and open each one individually to see which categories it falls under. And it may be under many. My absolute favorite part is being able to click on a food and move it to a list that I created (you can title it yourself) which I tagged “Foods I can eat”. You can create many lists from foods that are moderately reactive to complete no-no‘s. This is an absolute find for someone just starting out deciphering their diet or for someone who just likes keeping track. It takes all the worry and guesswork completely out of the equation. Trying to figure all of this out on your own would be exhausting to say the least. Thank you Melanie for creating such a resourceful tool!

Amazing App!!!. I was so excited to find the Food Sense App! It is user friendly and beautifully put together. It is clear a lot of time, energy, and love was put into the research and development for this app. Everything you need is in this app. No longer the need for multiple apps, this app has it all! I have 3 favorite features of this app. First, one feature I love is the catalog of different categories of food. I love that I can go to the catalogue, select a specific food category and then select the specific food I want to know about. It will list all the different food sensitively categories and where this specific food falls. Love I can get a quick and comprehensive look at a specific food. My next favorite feature is the Compound Info. For example, I can click FODMAPS and get a quick look at all the foods that are high in FODMAPS or low in FODMAPS. No more searching for each food one at a time, they are all there in a quick easy to use format. Lastly, I love that I can create lists. I have a list that I call “Foods I can’t Eat.” I love, love, love this app. I am so excited I found it. I have had it 5 days and I have used it every day. If you have food sensitivities, this app is just what you need.

Thank You!. I’ve been working with food lists for the last couple years, and what a gift to have all of the potential triggers in foods in one place. I’m always eager to learn more. Melanie includes useful information about the compounds in plain language. I’m especially impressed by the number of reputable resources she cites. You don’t always find references on food lists. I can’t imagine how much time this took. Thank you!

Valuable Info Source. What Melanie has done has saved me countless hours of research and notes. I am someone who must avoid lectins, have histamine intolerances and a gluten sensitivity. While I eat clean real food I am always making new discoveries on foods that affect me and have to research why, this app will help me quickly identify that particular food. I can also quickly search a particular food and know if it’s in my prohibited group. I find this extremely valuable for me and my health. Thank you!

So helpful to have in your virtual pocket. Such a helpful resource Melanie. Thanks for doing all the hard work of putting this together to make it easier for us to navigate our own health.

Valuable Resource. Food Sense is a valuable resource for anyone on a journey of improving their health! The ability to create lists within the app and keep track of foods that do or do not work well for your individual wellness is so helpful. This allows you to investigate what compounds may be an issue for you. I love that the app also has clear descriptions for each category with resources listed and linked for further research! A great resource!!!

Such a great tool!. I use the Foodsense app all the time for my own research and for my nutrition clients. It's very well researched, easy to search and comprehensive. Great job!

MY FOOD INTOLERANCE BIBLE. This app has been my go to since it was announced as available by Avalon. It is just the best all around reference you will ever need for food intolerance.

Fantastic and Informative App. This is a fantastic app for those with food sensitivities or simply to learn more about the foods you are eating! Melanie goes above and beyond when researching and to verify the sources and studies she comes across. She is a trusted treasure in the world of health and wellness!

I’m obsessed with the App and the Podcasts!. So much information that I have found to be helpful to take my health to another level. I’m so glad I found this. I am on a journey to better health and I am so encouraged to start fasting more and try the supplements. The podcasts are so informative . Love love it . 10 out of 10!

Great App! Really useful!. This is such a great app if you have food sensitivities! I have been trying a low Fodmap diet to pinpoint my tigger foods and this app has been great! I love being able to add lists as well!

Quick reference. When trying to figure out quickly what foods to avoid or ones you can have, this app is very easy and helpful! If spices could be added!! That would be helpful as well. I love having all the food sensitivities in one quick reference!! My only other option is to go through Facebook group files on different sensitivity groups and then searching on spreadsheets. I also like that Susan Owens was consulted in providing accurate information, as she definitely knows everything regarding oxalates!

Easy & informative. I’ve recently tried to cut out histamines and gluten and this app has helped me so much. It’s really easy to make lists of foods that you need to cut out or things you’ve tried that you need to avoid. It has mostly all the major foods you would question. Definitely recommend.

So informative!. I love this app! The foods I have always had issues with are now making sense because with this app I can figure out what the common denominator is! It is helpful in informing me on foods that I didn’t even know contained the sensitivity for me. I am looking forward to organizing my problematic foods and moving forward to better health!

Excellent App!. This app gives me good information about certain foods and what is in them. This makes deciding what belongs in my diet much easier. I appreciate all the work an research that went into this comprehensive list. I hope it continues to grow. Thank you!!

Beth. I use this reference more often than I thought I would. It is very helpful. Thanks for compiling this.

Best App. This App is so helpful when shopping for people who have food sensitivity and allergies. This is the first time I’ve seen the information all in one place I also realized some foods were giving me problems but I didn’t know why until the app broke it down. Thanks Melanie you really make preparing meals so much easier!

Clearest and easiest list you never knew you needed!. Love this easy app. Have been showing folks whenever intolerances comes up in conversation. So glad I found it!

Simplistic. I have been wanting to check out this app for awhile. Recently, I received this app as a “thank you” gift from Melanie. I love how this app is broken down, simple to use, and you can see the various compounds with vibrant colors. This will be very helpful as I continue the path of healing my gut!

Invaluable!!!. Recently learning that I need to avoid high histamine foods, as well as follow a low fodmap diet, this ap is extremely helpful. It can be very overwhelming trying to find the beat foods for your body, and this ap makes it so easy! I love that I can creat a list of foods my body does well with! I love that I can easily look up specifics in foods. Thank you Melanie!

Very vague. I was hoping for more concrete info about the quantity of compounds in particular foods. Items are grouped as either “high” (all red) or safe (green). The app may be useful if you are looking to completely avoid a substance (for example oxalates) but if you are able to eat moderate amounts of a compound and looking to know quantity per serving, this will not give you more information.

Awesome!. This is so helpful and has tons of flexibility in how you use it. You can create your own lists with your own labels and add foods. There are lots of resources and tools built in and it is very user friendly.

Great info!. My patients and readers will love this! It will save them huge amounts of time and quickly be able to identify which foods they can focus on stage to steer clear of their triggers. Well done!

Easy to use. Like how easy it is to look up a food when out shopping. Easy to see at a glance. Great layout!

Great tool to heal leaky gut, lose weight. I learned that much of what I ate contained significant amounts of lectins. No wonder I was gaining weight with “healthy” food. I am grateful to find an app with a quick way to create a new list to help me balance my microbiome, heal the gut and confirm instinctive choices I make in food. This is one of the easiest apps to put to use immediately. Thanks!

LIFESAVER!!. As someone recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, this app is an Absolute Lifesaver. Not only is it informative & well-organized, it’s well-made with a unique, clean design. I am impressed on multiple levels: as a software developer, as a user, & as someone with autoimmune disorder. Thank you Melanie for making this!!

Great start. This app is very comprehensive for food sensitivities and intolerances. I have found most of what I’m looking for in this app. I would love to see the next level of being able to track symptoms of each food. This is something I have not been able to find in the App Store - something that lists the sensitivities, logs what you ate, and tracks how well they were tolerated (or not). Thank you for creating this.

Extensive database!. This app has so many foods for reference for all sorts of sensitivities! A must-have for anyone trying to figure out food intolerances!

Food sensitivity bible!. This app is amazingly easy to use and puts food sensitivity info at your fingertips. A must have for those with allergies or for anyone just curious about food details. Choose a food or sensitivity and find all the pros and cons. I’m ‘nuts’ about it!

Not Informative. Unfortunately, I found this application useless. I was researching food oxalate levels. Each time I clicked on the food I was referred to a page for subscribing to the premium level. I received no information, just ads for a subscription. I went to the resources section to check the resources used for oxalates and found that at at least 60% of the links are no longer valid. Or are over 20 years old.

I’d love details on oat milk , and water chestnut flour ... Update : I was wrong , about only being able to add 14 foods to a list, I figured out that you can do this , just don’t try to add the same food twice to a list, 😂 app is pretty good, it takes some of the guesswork out of trying to figure out what I can safely eat, I have a total of 30 foods .. somewhere where we can add custom foods suited to self might be a good idea too as HIT and MCAS is so individual and time spend searching internet would be good to be able to add to personal list and record foods that aren’t listed , I’d like to know details on oat milk and water chestnut flour and would love to see more foods added along the way that are both histamine and oxalate free. Initial thought 💭 ”App is good except that I can’t add more than 14 foods to a list , if we could create a bigger list I can make a “Safe foods” list ..”

Fantastic!. Awesome app for overcoming the confusion associated with food intolerances!

Great app. I never thought I need an app like this, but a sudden onset of a food allergy, and intolerances to histamines made me down load this. It is extremely helpful to be able to know what foods contain histamines as this is all new to me. I don’t know how I’d navigate my current situation without it. The app is really straight forward and simple to use. Melanie was very responsive when I needed a clarification on a good type, and will also add in a food that the app didn’t contain.

Food Sense is an excellent tool. There are so many allergens and it can be very difficult to find accurate information This app has a long list of food information, though it has some limits in the food list, it is still excellent!

Food Chemicals. This App has to be the best so far for looking up Food Chemicals both Natural and added. Looking forward to one day being able to scan barcodes packaging one day. Can’t thank you enough

Connecting the dots. I downloaded the food sense app and plugged in my IgG food sensitivity test results from 2018. I have struggled with GI distress since I was 16 (36 now). Eliminating my “red foods” helped a lot, IF for the past 18 months helped even more. But I could never figure out the connection my red foods had to one another and what made them different from my green foods. Along came the Food Sense app and BAM! Oxalates it is! The app has so many foods on it, more than were tested in my blood work, so I can easily check it and predict which foods are going to be a problem and which will be easy. I highly recommend the app!

Learn To Take Care of Your Health. Get this app!. If you don't know the difference between amines and proteins, or fodmaps and roadmaps; if you want to take charge of your ingestion and digestion; if you want the chance to improve your health issues and possibly add years to your life, this app can be a tremendous help with those endeavors. The information seems to be current and well researched. You will learn about the components of various food types that have an effect on the way your body works. It has a list feature that I haven't used yet, but think it will be a very useful tool. I use many apps and this is one of the best for allowing the user to choose foods that can minimize or maximize various conditions that we experience when/after eating...it has become my 'go to' food reference, quick and easy...love it.

Great app!!. This app is a godsend for people with food sensitivities. Very informative and easy to use. Love it!

Thank you!!!. This is such a helpful tool! Not sure how lost I would have been on Google without this app. Plus you never know which sources to trust… I definitely trust Melanie and any information she provides. I’ve recently taken charge of my health and paid attention to my digestion. This guide will help me rule out and remove intolerances and make well-rounded food lists. Thank you!!

INCREDIBLY COMPREHENSIVE, SIMPLE TO USE & VERY HELPFUL!! Love it 💕🙏. The FOOD SENSE GUIDE is an incredibly comprehensive, simple to use & extremely helpful guide that shows the compounds found in a TON of foods broken down by categories (there’s about a dozen from Fruits & vegetables, meats, alcoholic drinks etc). For each food in the guide, the app gives you the levels / presence of about a 1/2 dozen compounds, including Amines, Glutamates, Oxalates, Salicylates, Sulfites, Thios, Nightshade & Histamines (love that the app includes this one especially being an allergy sufferer). Thanks for creating this App Melanie!! Looking forward to having it always handy when I want to check out a new/different food. Definitely give it TWO THUMBS UP & recommend it to literally anyone who eats... especially if you at all suspect you may have some sensitivities or just to educate yourself about your food choices. GREAT APP! 👍👍

Ms. This is a wonderful app! Thank you so much for creating it.

Food Allergy Sufferer. This app is terrible. It didn’t have any of the food items I looked up. How could you not have hemp oil or sunflower oil listed? My free app for food sensitivities is so much better. I can’t believe I paid $4.99 for this!! It’s useless!

Great app. This app is great to help you know what foods are bothering you! Thanks!

Great app. This app is well researched with good info on food that you may be sensitive to.

Food List Too Short. Would be a great app if the list of foods wasn’t so short, or if I could free-text foods that aren’t listed.

Great App. Very easy to use. Five stars. A must for anyone who cares about their health.

Great app. Very easy to use and very helpful for food sensitivities

Great App. Great App to help figure out food sensitivities! Melanie is amazing! She puts in so much time and does extensive research to help people get the best information possible.

Answer to a prayer.... I’m so grateful for Melanie’s podcast and this app. This app makes it so easy to see if the foods I want on my newly prescribed Low FODMAP diet!

Love this app!. Very comprehensive and thoughtful

Great App!. So much good info in this app! A must have!

So easy I use it all the time!. I definitely recommend downloading. Scott E

Nice app. In review, it’s a really well formatted app but not what I was lookin for. Does anyone know how to cancel the free seven day trial it doesn’t give uric acid levels and this is what I needed? Any help would be appreciated.

Great but limited number of foods listed. I love this. I just wish there was a bigger variety of foods.

Really helpful!. Great app that is a wonderful resource in trying to select foods that are optimal for health.

So Helpful. Such an empowering tool to help me find the common threads between foods I’m reacting to in one way or another.

Quick info at your fingertips. This is an incredibly helpful app comparing foods and sensitivity ratings.

List is very limited. Most seafood, whole eggs, dressings, not listed. Wasted $2.99

Love!. This app is a game changer. So comprehensive. Great info., very thorough yet easy to understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Awesome!!. I love this app, so easy to use! :)

Great App for patients. I find this app really helpful for my food sensitive patients.

So helpful!. This app is a really innovative way to track and pinpoint food sensitivities. I highly recommend it!
