What they are offering is actually very simple, and systematic.

While the list of foods containing fodmaps has changed a lot lately, there are several sources that are up to date. University of Michigan has a lot of reliable resources.

The system is described in full here: http://www.myginutrition.com/diet.html (U of M)

They also have a pinterest that has tons of ideas and specific brands they've tested... Which is here: https://www.pinterest.com/UMGIdietitians/

The warning my dietitian has given me, is that many of the websites out there are using out of date information pertaining to foods; and that I should only trust their lists.

You just put this startup out of business. The Michigan Uni website and video tutorials are more complete than Caelum's mvp. Couldn't figure out how to get Caelum's website to work, it just dumped me into a food log todo-style app with no info how to use it.
Our core value currently is the 1-on-1 coaching, so the MVP app is meant to support the coaching service (and currently working on building out the content). Michigan has some great content, but it’s a different experience than having a coach or dietitian. It could be supplemental to a dietitian - sounds like this is the use case for trowway21. There are definitely people out there who want to do the diet with content/info only, and our service wouldn’t be a good fit for them.

Thanks for your feedback on finding the app disorienting - that’s helpful for us to know as we improve it moving forwards.
