Brosophagus: Food Triggers

Check food ingredients against your personal triggers, then keep track of how you felt after eating. Living with reflux or EoE can mean reading a lot of labels. Brosophagus gives you a friendly place to check ingredients, save foods, and record your experience—with a little animated companion along the way. CHECK A LABEL, BARCODE, OR DISH Scan a barcode, photograph an ingredients label or meal, or type or dictate ingredients. Barcode and typed checks get an instant classification against your triggers, followed by an AI-assisted assessment that explains which ingredients may match the conditions and triggers in your profile. Ingredients inferred from a dish photo are marked as inferred. MAKE IT PERSONAL Set up a profile for heartburn / GERD, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), celiac disease, lactose intolerance, IBS, histamine intolerance, or gastritis. Add the trigger foods you already know about. Results distinguish personal trigger matches from general condition guidance. SEE WHAT THE CHECK FOUND Each assessment shows “No matches found,” “Proceed with caution,” or “Hard pass,” with the ingredients and reasoning behind it. “No matches found” is not a guarantee that a food is safe for you. RECORD YOUR EXPERIENCE After eating, record whether you felt fine or experienced discomfort, reflux, difficulty swallowing, bloating, nausea, or a flare-up. Your history keeps the latest reaction for each scanned food. Scanned foods you have not rated stay unknown. GET A CLEARER FOOD HISTORY See how many foods you rated, how many you marked as feeling fine, and how many had symptoms. Search your saved foods by name, brand, or ingredient. Review possible ingredient patterns and practical next steps, with links to medical sources. Older assessments are flagged for review; recheck available ingredients against your current profile while keeping your reaction. SEE ROUGH CALORIE TOTALS Each checked food gets a calorie figure: the label value when a barcode provides one, otherwise a clearly marked per-serving estimate. The Calories tab adds up the foods you rated into daily, weekly, and monthly totals — rough estimates to notice patterns, not a nutrition log. Your history is a record to discuss with your clinician or dietitian. It does not prove which foods caused symptoms or track every meal or portion, and calorie figures are estimates, not measured nutrition data. A LITTLE COMPANION, WITHOUT THE JUDGMENT Name your peach-colored companion and tap to say hello. His mood follows the reactions you log: a quiet moment after a rough reaction, a cheerful wiggle after feeling fine. Discover three animations per mood and little messages as you check in. His expressions are playful, not a health score. Reduced Motion is supported. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE No email account is required. Before sharing your profile, ingredients, or photos, the app asks permission to process them on AWS using Anthropic Claude through Amazon Bedrock, with an instant classification of barcode and typed checks by TypeSafe AI's Jev model. Scan photos are not retained and are never sent to TypeSafe. Delete your profile and food history from inside the app. New AI assessments, including rechecks, use a monthly scan allowance. An unchanged cached barcode assessment does not use another scan. Brosophagus provides AI-generated information, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Results can be wrong and cannot establish that a food is safe. Read product labels and follow guidance from your clinician or dietitian. Medical source links are available in the app. AVAILABLE IN FOUR LANGUAGES Use English, French, German, or Spanish through the app language setting on your iPhone. New assessments follow that language; saved assessments keep their original text. Some linked sources and support pages are in English.
