Ingrevia: Trigger Ingredient Journal — Built for People with Chronic Inflammatory Conditions and Their Loved Ones
Ingrevia started out as a personal tool for my wife and me to keep track of the food ingredients that cause flare ups for our son. He’s 13 and was diagnosed with Crohn’s a year ago. My wife was keeping track of potential triggers in an Excel spreadsheet, so I decided to amplify her work.
Ingrevia lets you add trigger ingredients and mark the severity of their reaction. This type of customization is essential for those who suffer from diseases like Crohn’s. Generic lists of ingredients to avoid can be a great starting point when found online, but those affected are often triggered by different ingredients.
Ingrevia also allows you to scan product labels or search your ingredient triggers while shopping. You can use this functionality in store or online. When I mentioned amplifying my wife’s work, this was my initial goal: to let her easily find the triggers while looking for food. We generally use it to double check food for my son or to find new things we didn’t know he could have.
Ingrevia also allows you to share your lists with friends and family. My son’s grandparents would frequently ask us which foods hurt him. The app helps them easily shop for safer foods too.
If you know someone who could use this app, DM me and I’ll give you a promo code to get the app for free.
