Disclaimer

Toots & Trots is an independent, informational tool to help you compare how gentle foods are likely to be on a sensitive gut. It is not medical advice, and it can't replace your own clinical team.

The scores are modelled estimates, not measurements

Each GASP score is our opinionof how a normal serving of a food may affect gut comfort — built from published food and nutrition data plus reasoned modelling. It is not a clinical measurement, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan, and it has not been reviewed or endorsed by any health authority. Don't use Toots & Trots to diagnose, treat, cure or manage any medical condition.

Everyone's gut is different

A low score means a food is generally gentler for most sensitive guts — it is not a promise that it will be gentle for you. Tolerance is deeply individual and changes over time, especially after surgery or during a flare. Treat a low score as a reasonable place to start, reintroduce foods one at a time, and trust your own body and your clinician over our number.

Allergens and food safety

We label common allergens using generic food data so you can spot them, but we score generic foods — we can never guarantee that a real product you buy is free of any allergen. For a diagnosed allergy or intolerance, the product label and your medical advice are always the authority. Toots & Trots is not a food-safety service and does not advise on safe food handling, storage or preparation beyond general cooking notes.

Modelled, AI-assisted, and honest about gaps

Some of our content and recipe images are AI-assisted and then reviewed (see the FAQ). We work hard to be accurate and to flag uncertainty — every food carries a confidence grade — but we can't promise the information is complete, current or error-free. Use it as a guide to experiment with, not as the final word.

If you're unwell, get help

If you have severe or worsening symptoms — significant pain, signs of a blockage, ongoing vomiting, dehydration, blood in your output, or rapid unplanned weight loss — contact your clinician or your local emergency service straight away. Do not rely on this website in an emergency.
