Living well with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Saivor shows recommended tasty recipe suggestions to make eating enjoyable again.

If you're frustrated with managing IBS, you're not alone

Why most diet advice (and every generic app) fails people with IBS:

Many people with IBS find the low-FODMAP diet hard to follow because it is complex and restrictive.

Many people with IBS find the low-FODMAP diet restrictive and challenging to implement in daily life, with risks to nutrition, gut health, and social eating if not properly guided.

Many people with IBS find the low-FODMAP diet hard to follow because dietitians often lack the training and simple tools needed to guide them effectively due to limited resources.

What actually works for IBS (according to science)

Peer-reviewed research and guidelines from 2000 to 2025 show what reduces IBS symptoms:

A low-FODMAP diet effectively reduces abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits in 50–80% of IBS patients when properly implemented. [1]
A low-FODMAP diet significantly improved IBS symptoms, abdominal pain, and bloating compared to control diets. [2]
Digital tools supporting structured low-FODMAP guidance improve symptoms and quality of life. [3]
Self-management resources like apps and websites help improve IBS symptoms and quality of life by providing strategies for lifestyle changes, such as mindful eating. [4]

How Saivor does it differently

1

Every recipe automatically filters

Saivor adapts instantly to your IBS mode: strict low-FODMAP compliance during flares (avoiding onion, garlic, wheat, etc.) or maintenance with added soluble fiber (≥5g per serving from safe sources like oats and carrots).

2

Evidence-based low-FODMAP search terms for gentle, enjoyable recipes

Saivor uses targeted filters like "low fodmap breakfast," or "oat-based breakfast," to pull flavorful, home-cooked ideas that match recommended guidelines.

3

Allows the foods science says are safe

Red meat, eggs, fish, and many fruits/vegetables are fully allowed. No unnecessary restrictions beyond high-FODMAP triggers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still eat foods I enjoy?

Yes. Saivor adapts the proven low-FODMAP approach without banning entire groups long-term. Enjoy red meat, eggs, fish, safe fruits/veggies, and soluble fiber sources like oats in maintenance mode. We tailor recipes to your flare or maintenance setting for maximum relief and variety.

What if I have IBS AND another condition (diabetes, hypertension, etc.)?

Saivor was built for multiple conditions. Your IBS mode works seamlessly alongside diabetes carb/sugar rules, hypertension sodium limits, lactose filters, reflux settings, and all food intolerances. Every recipe shown is safe for your full profile. Adding more conditions makes filters more precise, so you'll see fewer results. Each one tailored just for you.

How is this different from just Googling "low FODMAP recipes"?

Google results often include hidden high-FODMAP ingredients (like onion/garlic) or lack the balance needed for flares vs. maintenance. Saivor automatically switches to strict low-FODMAP during flares or adds gentle soluble fiber in maintenance.

Do I need a prescription or doctor's note?

No. Saivor is a nutrition and meal-planning tool based on established research, not medical treatment. Always consult your doctor or dietitian for personalized advice, especially during flares, and use Saivor to support your care. Start your free trial today. No referral needed.
