It helps to include your iPhone model, iOS version and what you were doing when it happened.

Frequently asked questions

Where is my data stored?

Only on your iPhone, in the app's private storage. There's no account and nothing is sent to the developer. Your device's own iCloud or computer backup may include it.

How do I back up my log or move it to a new phone?

In the app, open Settings → Your data and export a backup. Save the file somewhere safe, such as Files or iCloud Drive. On the new phone, restore it from Settings → Your data or from the first onboarding screen. The backup file isn't encrypted, so keep it somewhere private.

What happens if I delete the app?

Everything it stored is deleted and can't be recovered. Export a backup first if you want to keep anything.

Are the calorie, nutrient and ingredient figures accurate?

They're estimates made by Apple Intelligence on your device, and they can be wrong. Each one is marked "Estimated". Tap any number to correct it, and remove or add ingredients as needed. Figures read from a nutrition label are usually closer than ones estimated from a photo.

Some features say they need Apple Intelligence.

Recognising food and answering questions about your log use Apple Intelligence on your device. On devices without it, you can still log everything by typing.

How do I save symptoms to Apple Health?

Settings → Your data → Save symptoms to Health. It's off until you turn it on. Talktomegut writes bloating, abdominal cramps, nausea and heartburn, and never reads anything from Health.

Why does it ask for my location?

To suggest where you're eating and remember where a meal happened. It's optional; say no and you can still type a place name.

Can I share my results with my dietitian?

Yes. Create a PDF report of your FODMAP reintroduction and share it from the app.

Is this medical advice?

No. Talktomegut is a log, not a medical device. Check medication details against the packaging, and talk to your doctor or dietitian before changing your diet or medication.
