After the scan, it keeps your journal
- How do you feel today?Tap 1 to 5 for each row — about seven seconds. For IBS the rows include Gut and Bloating.
- What lines up, from your own daysAfter a couple of weeks of check-ins, Patterns compares the days you felt off with what you ate in the hours before. In the sample, apples came up 18 times, and gut scores were about a point lower on those days. You decide what it means.
- Worked out on your phoneFrom your entries. Never sold, sent or shared.
IBS, and something else?

Questions
Is there an app that scans food for IBS?
Yes. Velrae Method is a food scanner that checks every ingredient list for IBS, including sugar alcohols, inulin, garlic and onion, and grades the product for you and any other condition you pick. It’s on the App Store and Google Play.
Does it follow low-FODMAP?
Yes. Pick Low-FODMAP under Diets I follow. Each flagged ingredient comes with a one-line reason, such as “Has fructans, one of the FODMAPs.”
Can it help me find my triggers?
Patterns compares the days you felt off with what you ate before them, using your own check-ins. It shows what lines up; you decide what it means with Feels right or Not me.
Is it medical advice?
No. Velrae is a journal, not a diagnosis, and not a replacement for your doctor. It reads labels against what you told it to watch, so you can walk in with three weeks of evidence instead of a guess.
What does it cost?
Free to start: 7 days or 25 scans, no card. Then $29.99 a year or $59.99 lifetime.
