Low FODMAP runs alongside the rest of Loopa rather than replacing any of it. It is a protocol, not a diet style, so whatever you already eat stays.
Your diet style is untouched
Vegetarian, vegan, Mediterranean, keto, high-protein: pick any of them and run this as well. Both sets of rules apply to what Loopa suggests, and your diet style is stated first.
Gluten-free and dairy-free stay separate
Enrolling does not switch either of them on, and they are not the same thing. Wheat comes down because of its fructans, not its gluten, and the dairy issue is lactose alone. If you want either as a standing preference, set it yourself in preferences.
With a GLP-1, testosterone or hormone protocol
They coexist. Your protein-first targets, calorie floor and training settings stay exactly as they are, and the FODMAP check runs on top of them. Low FODMAP sets no macro target of its own and never moves your calories.
With a bariatric or weight-management track
These can run together, and Loopa shows you a compatibility notice first and asks you to confirm you have discussed it with your care team. It is a confirmation, not a gate, your care team decides, not the app, but running an elimination protocol on top of a staged post-operative eating plan is worth a conversation.
Your food log, meal plans and recipes
Everything keeps working. Search results and barcode scans carry a FODMAP panel for the serving shown, generated recipes get a low-FODMAP mode that swaps onion and garlic for garlic-infused oil and scallion greens, and the weekly plan checks every day it produces before showing it to you.
Logging food is always free. The protocol and the meal check are part of Loopa Premium; recording what you ate never is.
With a coach
If you have a Loopa coach, Low FODMAP is its own sharing switch and it starts off. Turning it on shows them your phase, your cap date, how consistently you have logged and your tolerance profile. It never shows them a symptom score, anything about your stools, or what any meal was checked as. What your coach can see is the item-by-item list.
With a clinician
Your clinician report has a Low FODMAP section: the phase timeline, your score against your baseline, every challenge result, your tolerance profile and your symptom entries. That is the difference between the two relationships, a coach gets the plan, a clinician gets the record.
