# Serotonify: find the foods behind your bloating > Serotonify is an AI gut health coach app that finds the foods behind your bloating. It matches your symptoms to your meals, ranks likely trigger foods, tests them one at a time with an elimination and reintroduction plan, and cites the research for every step it suggests. Last updated: 2026-10-08. Status: pre-launch. iPhone and Android apps are coming soon; waitlist members get 50% off their first year. ## How it works Each plan follows the elimination and reintroduction method dietitians use. The coach does the bookkeeping. 1. **Log what you eat and how you feel.** Snap a meal or scan a barcode, then rate your symptoms in a few taps. Sleep, stress and blood results go in the same log. 2. **See your likely triggers.** After a week or two, the coach shows which foods line up with your bad days and how sure it is about each one. 3. **Test one food at a time.** Cut a suspect for two weeks, then bring it back. Serotonify measures the change so you aren’t relying on memory. 4. **Keep what works.** Foods that pass the test go back on the menu. Your plan updates, and the coach tells you why. ## Features - **Trigger detection:** Matches your symptoms to what you ate in the hours before. Each suspect gets a likelihood, so you know what to test first. - **Daily check-in:** Rate mood, energy, focus and digestion once a day, then see which meals and habits they move with. - **Label scanner:** Scan a packet in the shop to see which ingredients are likely to bother you, and a swap that won’t. - **A plan that adapts:** Baseline, reintroduction, then a diet that’s yours. The plan shifts as each test result comes in. - **Menu scanner:** Photograph a restaurant menu to see which dishes suit your current plan, and what to ask the kitchen to change. - **Community:** Compare notes with people on the same plan, week by week. ## Why it is different - **Gut symptoms, nothing else:** Serotonify only coaches digestion, so it can go further on bloating and food reactions than a general wellness app. - **Your data has the final say:** Clinical guidelines set the starting point. Your own logs decide what stays in your diet. - **Small, doable steps:** One or two changes a day, explained in plain words. Missed a day? The plan picks up from where you are. - **One log for everything:** Meals, symptoms, lab results and experiments share one timeline, so patterns are easier to spot. ## AI coaching Add your lab results, then ask about food, symptoms or supplements. Serotonify answers from clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed trials, and checks every answer against your results and logs. - Every claim is cited, with a link to the source. - Every answer is labelled with how certain the evidence is: high, moderate or low. - Warning signs get a clear recommendation to see a doctor. ## Privacy - **Encrypted at every step:** Your logs, lab results and coach chats are encrypted on the way to our servers and while they’re stored there. - **Never sold, never used for ads:** We don’t sell your health data or share it with advertisers. It’s used to coach you and nothing else. - **Delete it whenever you like:** Export your data or delete your account from settings. Deleting removes your logs and lab results for good. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is Serotonify? Serotonify is an AI gut health coach app for people with bloating and other food-related gut symptoms. It matches your symptoms to your meals, ranks the foods most likely to be causing them, and walks you through testing each one with an elimination and reintroduction plan. Every suggestion cites its source and shows how certain the evidence is. ### How does Serotonify find the foods that cause my bloating? You log meals by photo or barcode and rate your symptoms in a few taps. After a week or two, the coach lines up your bad days with what you ate in the hours before and gives each suspect food a likelihood. You then cut the top suspect for two weeks and bring it back, and the app measures whether your symptoms change. ### Is Serotonify a low FODMAP diet app? It uses the same elimination and reintroduction method as the low FODMAP diet, but starts with your likeliest triggers rather than cutting every FODMAP at once. The [British Society of Gastroenterology](https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2021-324598) (2021) recommends a low FODMAP diet as a second-line dietary treatment for IBS, ideally supervised by a dietitian, and the [American College of Gastroenterology](https://doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0000000000001036) (2021) suggests a limited trial. ### Can Serotonify diagnose IBS or a food intolerance? No. Serotonify gives general wellness guidance and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If you report a warning sign such as blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss or symptoms that wake you at night, it stops coaching and tells you to see a doctor. [UK IBS guidelines](https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2021-324598) also recommend a blood test for coeliac disease, which is only reliable while you are still eating gluten. ### Does Serotonify replace a dietitian or doctor? No. It handles the day-to-day logging and bookkeeping between appointments, and you can export your logs to share with your GP or a registered dietitian. Clinical guidelines set the starting point for every plan, and your own data decides which foods stay in your diet. ### What does serotonin have to do with digestion? About 90% of the body’s serotonin is made in the gut, mostly by cells in the gut lining, where it helps set the pace of digestion ([Yano et al., Cell, 2015](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2015.02.047)). Serotonify works on the gut side of that link: what you eat and how your digestion responds. ### When does Serotonify launch, and how much will it cost? Serotonify is coming soon to iPhone and Android. The app hasn’t launched yet, so full pricing hasn’t been announced. Everyone who joins the waitlist gets 50% off their first year, sent as a discount code in a single email on launch day. ### How does Serotonify protect my health data? Your logs, lab results and coach chats are encrypted in transit and at rest. Serotonify never sells your health data or uses it for ads, and you can export your data or delete your account from settings at any time. Until the app launches, this website only collects the email address you give when you join the waitlist. ## Sources - [Yano et al., Cell, 2015](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2015.02.047) - [British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines on the management of IBS, Gut, 2021](https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2021-324598) - [ACG Clinical Guideline: Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Am J Gastroenterol, 2021](https://doi.org/10.14309/ajg.0000000000001036) - [BSG guidelines for the management of iron deficiency anaemia in adults, Gut, 2021](https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2021-325210) ## Links - [Join the waitlist](https://serotonify.com/#get) - [Privacy policy](https://serotonify.com/privacy) - Contact: hello@serotonify.com Serotonify provides general wellness guidance based on published research.
