Best for: A builder who lives this overlap or partners closely with a FODMAP-trained dietitian
The ideaWhat this actually is
A meal planner for the hardest diet overlap in gut health: low-FODMAP eating, the standard elimination approach for IBS, made workable without animal products, with phased reintroduction support, protein-adequacy checks, and symptom-aware recipe learning. It supports a diet people undertake with clinicians and encourages dietitian involvement.
The opportunityWhy this idea works
Low-FODMAP is mainstream gastroenterology's standard elimination protocol for IBS, and it collides brutally with vegan eating because the plant proteins vegans rely on are exactly what the protocol restricts. General FODMAP apps assume omnivores and vegan apps ignore FODMAPs, so the overlap population, small in percentage but large in number and intensely motivated, has no tool.
The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
The two audiences are served separately, leaving the overlap stranded on rice and despair. The population is small in percentage terms but large in absolute numbers and desperate. The app supports a clinically-guided diet, so it should encourage dietitian involvement rather than position itself as treatment.
The buildWhat you need to build this
| You need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Rigorous FODMAP data | Accurate FODMAP information is the backbone, because the protocol is precise and errors cause symptoms. |
| Vegan protein adequacy | Building protein adequacy into vegan plans addresses the exact collision that makes this overlap so hard. |
| Three-phase protocol support | Elimination, reintroduction, and personalization are the real phases sufferers move through with clinicians. |
| Symptom-aware learning | Learning from symptoms personalizes recipes for the individual's tolerances. |
| A clinical-support boundary | The app supports a clinically-guided diet and should encourage dietitian involvement, not act as treatment. |

Questions
What people ask about this idea
Is this a medical app?
No. It supports low-FODMAP eating, a clinically-guided IBS protocol, and encourages dietitian involvement rather than positioning itself as treatment.
Why is this overlap so hard?
The plant proteins vegans rely on, beans, lentils, much soy, are exactly what low-FODMAP restricts, so sufferers end up with almost nothing to eat.
Is the audience big enough?
Small in percentage terms but large in absolute numbers, and intensely motivated, which makes a subscription viable.
What must be handled carefully?
FODMAP accuracy and protein adequacy, plus supporting all three protocol phases, because errors cause symptoms and half-support abandons the user.
