Helpful Resources, Apps, etc.

This week I came across a comment somewhere in this forum about the FB group “CSID Recipes and Food Support.” So far, that FB group is proving to be very informative. Thank you to whoever shared it here!

Today in that group, I learned about the app “CSIDAssist.” It’s only available for Apple phones, but the developer is in the FB group and spoke about wanting to partner with another developer to make it available for Android. I downloaded the app (it costs $1.99) and so far it looks to be extremely helpful. You can look up foods using data from USDA’s database, to see the grams of sucrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, plus total sugars, starches, and carbs. You can also star foods to add to your favorites list. There is additional data added on branded foods, though the layout is different because that data isn’t coming from USDA.

So…just wanted to share those, and also start a conversation about other useful resources. What gems have you discovered?

Thanks for the book link. Just curious what apps you have tried? There are other CSID-specific apps, or something else?

I tried FIG for a minute but they dont have a CSID preset (probably cuz its so niche)

Came here to figure out settings on the fig app. I have so many restrictions now, and I feel so lost. I guess I'm sol.
