Take charge of your food sensitivities! Reactions to various "natural" compounds in foods can often create an array of health problems in individuals, from the GI tract to skin issues to neurological and hormonal imbalances. Food Sense Guide helps you identify your potential food sensitivities and minimize food reactions.

FOOD SENSE GUIDE includes:

- An easily searchable catalogue of 300+ foods.

- The general levels of amines, FODMAPs, glutamates, gluten, histamine, lectins, oxalates, salicylates, sulfites, and thiols in various foods, as well nightshade and AIP status.

- An overview of these various compounds, including typical reactions for those sensitive, and lists of foods high and low in them.

- The ability to create your own personal lists and notes.

- Easily export your lists to share or print.

- Quick instant access to the levels of these compounds for anything you may eat!

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

- Dr. Alan Christianson, NYT Bestselling Author of "The Adrenal Reset Diet" and "The Metabolism Reset Diet"


"In "The Hormone Fix," I promote eating an array of mineral-rich, alkaline-producing foods for hormonal health. This app allows users to find those foods which suit them, so they can bring their bodies into balance!"

"The Food Sense Guide app is a great resource to identify all possible ways each food item may cause a reaction for sensitive individuals. Oftentimes patients get confused as to why a food may be troublesome, not realizing that every food can have multiple mechanisms by which it can trigger discomfort in the body, from a histamine reaction to an all-out immune reaction. This app is a must-have for any food sensitive individual to have with them when shopping at the supermarket or eating out."

Food Sense Guide App Comments & Reviews

Food Sense Guide Positive Reviews

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..Version: 1.3

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!.Version: 1.3

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..Version: 1.4.1

Quick referenceWhen 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!.Version: 1.0.2

Valuable Info SourceWhat 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!.Version: 1.4.1

So soThis 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..Version: 1.4.1

Valuable ResourceFood 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!!!.Version: 1.4.1

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!.Version: 1.4.1

Great Info and sorting toolI 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!.Version: 1.0

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!.Version: 1.5.0

Great startThis 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..Version: 1.4.1

Great tool to heal leaky gut, lose weightI 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!.Version: 1.4.1

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..Version: 1.4.1

A sensible easy-to-use specific food appFinally! 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..Version: 1.0

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!.Version: 1.0

SimplisticI 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!.Version: 1.4.1

Best AppThis 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!.Version: 1.2

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!.Version: 1.2

Easy & informativeI’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..Version: 1.4.1

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!!.Version: 1.4.1

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!.Version: 1.0.2

Connecting the dotsI 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!.Version: 1.4.1

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!!.Version: 1.4.1

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..Version: 1.2

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! 👍👍.Version: 1.0.2

Great app!!This app is a godsend for people with food sensitivities. Very informative and easy to use. Love it!.Version: 1.0.2
