Abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating and nausea can have many causes. This can be due to food ingredients such as lactose, fructose or gluten, such as those found in fruit, cereals and dairy products. An app developed in Vienna and Graz is intended to help identify such intolerances and decide what you can still eat and in what quantity.
The Graz internist Heinz Hammer, who has extensive clinical experience with food intolerance, has therefore developed a questionnaire based on measuring symptoms after eating.
App creates connections
If the well-known digestive problems occur regularly after eating food, a possible intolerance can be ascertained. An app for smartphones has now been developed together with Johann Hammer from Med-Uni Vienna. “This not only enables those affected to better understand the connection between their well-being and nutrition, but above all to enjoy eating again.” Once a treatable condition has been ruled out and intolerance confirmed, the next step is to reduce foods that contain the culprit. A complete waiver is usually not necessary, as Hammer informed.
