Living well with reflux.

You don't have to live in fear of every meal. Saivor shows you what's safe to eat based on your condition.

If you're frustrated with other nutrition apps, you're not alone

What people with reflux say about popular apps:

"I get lost in these giant food databases – nothing tells me what's actually safe for reflux, so I'm always stopping to Google every single ingredient."

PMC Research Study

"Calorie apps like MyFitnessPal count everything, but they never warn me about the fatty or acidic stuff that sets my heartburn off."

PMC Research Study

"There's no quick way to see which foods are low-risk, so I end up doing my own research instead of trusting the app – it makes sticking to the diet way harder."

What actually works for reflux (according to science)

Peer-reviewed research from 2024–2025 shows that these dietary changes significantly reduce reflux symptoms:

Eating lower-fat foods cuts down on reflux [1]
Eating fibre will help calm heartburn [2]
Avoiding trigger foods (acidic, fried, spicy, chocolate, caffeine, mint) prevents flare-ups [3]
Smaller, frequent meals maintain lower stomach pressure than 3 large meals [4]
Stop eating at least 3 hours before bedtime to cut down on nighttime heartburn [4]

How Saivor does it differently

1

Every recipe is screened for reflux triggers

We block recipes containing tomato, citrus, spicy foods, chocolate, coffee, mint, fried/greasy foods, vinegar, and alcohol.

2

Personalised to your reflux severity

Gentle mode allows garlic powder, bell pepper, and light seasonings. Strict mode blocks all potential triggers.

3

Reflux-friendly recipe search

We search specifically for gentle, bland, and soothing recipes designed for sensitive digestion.

4

Log food your way – no typing required

US barcode scanner · Snap a photo of any food · Voice input ("Hey Saivor, I just ate grilled chicken and rice") · Text search · Smart shopping list (save multiples & download)

Frequently asked questions

Can I still eat foods I enjoy?

Yes! Saivor doesn't eliminate entire food groups. We help you find versions of foods you love that won't trigger symptoms. For example, we might recommend baked chicken instead of fried, or sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes with butter.

What if I have reflux AND another condition?

Saivor specialises in managing multiple conditions. Our recommendations are safe for reflux, diabetes, diverticulitis, and common food intolerances — all at the same time.

How is this different from just Googling "reflux-friendly recipes"?

Google gives you generic lists. Saivor personalises based on YOUR calorie needs, YOUR other health conditions, YOUR food preferences, and YOUR meal timing. Plus, every recipe is nutritionally balanced — not just "safe."

Do I need a prescription or doctor's note?

No. Saivor is a nutrition tool, not medical treatment. We recommend using it alongside your doctor's care, but you can start immediately on your own.
