What Olara does
Three things that work together. Each one is built around the same idea: the food isn't the problem, the portion usually is.
Snap
Photograph a meal, a restaurant menu, or the back of a food label. Olara identifies ingredients, estimates portions, and tells you in plain English what to watch for, based on your own trigger profile.
Recipes
65 lower-FODMAP recipes from Zak's kitchen to start with, more added over time. Personal notes, portion scaling, and a Plan-My-Week shopping list that consolidates ingredients across recipes.
Reintroduction
A 6-week guided protocol that tests each FODMAP group at three portion sizes. By the end you know what you tolerate, what to watch with portions, and what to avoid, for you, not in general.
Why I built it
I'm Zak Edmundson, a qualified nutritionist specialising in IBS, and I've had gut issues most of my life. Olara is the app I wished existed when I was working it out for myself.
The lower-FODMAP approach works for a lot of people, but it comes with a long list of foods you're "not allowed" and a fear that creeps in around eating. That fear is the part I wanted to fix. Olara is the friend who says: this might be a problem at this portion, here's a swap that keeps the dish, here's what we've learned about you over the last few weeks.
It's not a clinical tool. It's complementary to whatever care you're already getting from your GP or dietitian.
