Spoon Guru - Food Allergy & Intolerance Help App Review

As you might know if you’re a regular reader on the blog we have food allergies and intolerances in this family which of course makes it very hard to buy products from the supermarkets and can take some time searching for new recipes.

Spoon Guru offered me a chance to review the app. Spoon Guru allows you to select the allergens that you want to avoid then when you scan the bar code it quickly tells you if the food is a yes or no perfect. Perfect for such things as coeliac disease when it isn’t clear if a product actually has gluten in (its not just in wheat!)

Spoon Guru is a free app for all of us foodies with dietary requirements. Not only does it help us choose new food with out pouring over every label but it also has a fabulous section to hunt out recipes. The recipe is perfect for all eaters as it shows all the marco info – carbs, fat, protein and the micros – vitmains & minerals on each recipe.

The co founder of Spoom Guru points out that each and every one of is unique and there fore so are our allergys and dietary preferences “Someone with an g allergy may also be a vegetarian who prefers a low-sugar diet. No matter how complex the need Spoon Guru is designed to find food that’s just right for that person” In fact they care so much they even have their our registered Nutrionist – Alexis Poole.

As I said, its incredibly easy to use. Simply download the Spoon Guru app for free from iTunes.

Then you create a profile by selecting your dietary preferences.

Simple just two steps! The app is now tailored to your personal dietary requirements and head over to the be inspired tab and there will all the recipes you can eat!

Then the scanner can be used whether you’re at the shops or at home. In fact this little gadget helped me discover a drink I thought was safe actually had gluten in and this is what has been upsetting my tummy for weeks!

I love this app, there are a couple which do the same thing which you have to pay for and aren’t as detailed! The bar scanner to me is a huge lifesaver, it makes shopping a little more fun and easier. Not something I thought I’d ever say.
