Common questions

About using Bite Insight with diets and lifestyles.

Yes. Your profile can hold diets, conditions and allergies together, and every scan is checked against all of them.

It flags pork, alcohol and additives that are commonly from non-halal sources. It can’t confirm certification, so look for a recognised halal mark when that matters to you.

They overlap. The IBS profile adds dairy and gluten checks that many people with IBS find useful, while low FODMAP follows the diet itself. Use whichever your dietitian recommends.
