[0002] Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients have potential digestive discomfort. A low-FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) diet is a dietary pattern designed for IBS patients. Its purpose is to reduce the intake of short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and easily ferment in the large intestine to produce gas, thereby alleviating IBS symptoms.

[0003] In real life, patients with irritable bowel syndrome often find it difficult to accurately determine the level of FODMAP in food, and there is a lack of a tool that can intuitively display the level of FODMAP in food. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a food turntable for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to solve the problem that IBS patients have difficulty intuitively judging the FODMAP content in food.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The large turntable and the small turntable are coaxially mounted, and the first rotating shaft passes through the center of the large turntable and the small turntable; the small turntable is fixedly mounted to the first rotating shaft, and the large turntable can rotate around the first rotating shaft;

[0008] The front of the large turntable includes an outer ring and an inner ring, which are divided into different sector areas by radii from the same center; the outer ring is set with food type areas; the inner ring is set with FODMAP values ​​and background colors, with different background colors corresponding to different FODMAP levels.

[0009] The small turntable is positioned above the large turntable, covering the inner ring area of ​​the large turntable; the small turntable has a perforated display window that can display the FODMAP value and background color of the inner ring of the large turntable.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer circumferential edge of the large turntable is provided with a toothed structure.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a gear turntable; the diameter of the gear turntable is the same as the diameter of the large turntable; the gear turntable meshes with the gears of the large turntable.

[0012] Furthermore, a second rotating shaft is provided at the center of the gear turntable, and the gear turntable is capable of rotating around the second rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting rod is also provided, which connects the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotation of the large turntable can drive the gear turntable to rotate synchronously around the first rotating shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, the gear turntable is provided with a specific food display area, which corresponds to the food type area on the outer ring of the large turntable.

[0016] Furthermore, the order of the specific food display areas is the same as the order of the food type areas.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a pointer; the pointer is fixed above the small turntable.

[0018] Furthermore, a through slot is provided above the pointer corresponding to the hollow display window, and a magnifying glass is provided in the through slot.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients have potential digestive discomfort. A low-FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) diet is a dietary pattern designed for patients with IBS.

[0036] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a food turntable for patients with irritable bowel syndrome is disclosed, including a large turntable 1, a small turntable 2 and a first rotating shaft 3.

[0037] Large turntable 1 and small turntable 2 are coaxially mounted, and a first rotating shaft 3 passes through the center of large turntable 1 and small turntable 2. Small turntable 2 is fixedly mounted to the first rotating shaft 3, and large turntable 1 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 3.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the front of the large turntable 1 includes an inner and outer circle with the same center, and is divided into several fan-shaped areas by the radius of the same center, which are used to display the food type and FODMAP value and level.

[0039] The outer ring of the front of the large turntable 1 is equipped with a food type display area, including six areas: grain area 101, meat area 102, vegetable area 103, fruit area 104, dairy product area 105, and staple food area 106.

[0040] The inner circle of the front of the large turntable 1 displays FODMAP values ​​and a horizontal area. The FODMAP values ​​correspond to the food type display area on the outer circle of the front of the large turntable 1, showing the FODMAP value for the corresponding food type. In addition to the corresponding FODMAP values, there are three levels—high, medium, and low—each represented by a different background color. High FODMAP values ​​are red, medium FODMAP values ​​are yellow, and low FODMAP values ​​are green.

[0041] The small turntable 2 is positioned at the upper part of the front of the large turntable 1, covering the inner ring area of ​​the large turntable 1. The small turntable 2 has a perforated display window 201 that displays the FODMAP value and background color of the inner ring of the front of the large turntable 1. When a user wants to know the FODMAP value and level of a certain type of food, they rotate the large turntable 1 so that the area for that type of food corresponds to the perforated display window 201. The perforated display window 201 displays the FODMAP value and background color, allowing the user to obtain the FODMAP value and level for that type of food.

[0042] To help users understand FODMAP, the blank area of ​​the small turntable 2 introduces the concept of FODMAP, the FODMAP levels corresponding to the FODMAP numerical range, and the background color corresponding to each FODMAP level, in order to guide users on how to use the food turntable correctly.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the reverse side of the large turntable 1 includes an inner and outer circle with the same center. The outer circle is divided into several areas by the radius of the circle between the inner and outer circles. The reverse side of the large turntable 1 includes an outer display area 107 and an inner display area 108. The outer display area 107 is divided into nine sections, with the first to seventh sections representing a week's menu, and the eighth and ninth sections representing optional snacks and fruits. The inner display area 108 provides dietary advice for patients with irritable bowel syndrome, including reminders such as regular meals, avoiding spicy foods, avoiding alcohol and caffeine, and drinking enough water.

[0044] This embodiment provides a tool for quickly identifying FODMAP values ​​and levels for different food types. It utilizes a large turntable 1 and a small turntable 2 set coaxially, with the large turntable 1 rotating around the axis and the small turntable 2 fixed. Users can intuitively and conveniently determine FODMAP values ​​and levels based on the food types and FODMAP content indicators on the turntables. The weekly menu and dietary habit prompts on the reverse side help users understand the specific composition of their diet and the intake of various foods, thus facilitating users to learn, imitate, and implement this dietary pattern.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] To make it easier for users to understand the FODMAP values ​​and levels corresponding to specific foods, and thus to make easier selections, this embodiment features a toothed structure on the outer circumferential edge of the large turntable 1 from Embodiment 1. Figure 4 As shown, a gear turntable 6 is provided. The diameter of the gear turntable 6 is the same as that of the large turntable 1. The teeth of the gear turntable 6 mesh with the outer edge teeth of the large turntable 1. The rotation of the large turntable 1 can drive the gear turntable 6 to rotate synchronously around the first rotating shaft 3 of the large turntable 1.

[0047] A second rotating shaft 7 is located at the center of the gear disk 6, allowing the gear disk 6 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 7. For example... Figure 5 As shown, a connecting rod 8 is provided at the lower part of the large turntable 1 and the gear turntable 6, and the connecting rod 8 connects the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 7. The gear turntable 6 can rotate around the large turntable 1 while rotating around the second rotating shaft 7.

[0048] The gear-shaped turntable 6 is divided into six areas by a concentric radius, each displaying specific foods. Each area displays the food from the food categories on the outer ring of the large turntable 1, including the food type, image, name, and the total FODMAP content, oligosaccharide content, disaccharide content, monosaccharide content, and polyol content for each food. Each food is indicated by a different background color based on its FODMAP content, along with consumption recommendations: safe to eat, moderate to eat, or limited to a certain amount. The six areas of the gear-shaped turntable 6 follow the same order as the six areas of the food categories on the outer ring of the large turntable 1.

[0049] Therefore, users who want to know the FODMAP content and level of each specific food can view the display on gear dial 6, search for food images and names by food type, and know the FODMAP content and level by the background color, and can also view the consumption recommendations for this food.

[0050] Because the outer gear of the large turntable 1 meshes with the gear of the gear turntable 6, and both have the same diameter, when the large turntable 1 and the gear turntable 6 rotate synchronously, the food types displayed on the outer ring of the large turntable 1 correspond to the specific food on the gear turntable 6. When the large turntable 1 rotates to a food type area, the connected gear turntable 6 displays the specific food included in that food type, the total FODMAP content / oligosaccharide content / disaccharide content / monosaccharide content / polyol content, and consumption recommendations.

[0051] Furthermore, to make the indication clearer, this embodiment provides a pointer 4 above the hollowed-out display window 201 of the small turntable 2, pointing to the area in the large turntable 1 that connects with the small turntable 2. The pointer 4 is fixed to the upper part of the small turntable 2.

[0052] Furthermore, a through slot is provided above the cutout display window 201 corresponding to the pointer 4. The shape of the through slot is the same as that of the cutout display window 201. A magnifying glass 5 is provided in the through slot so that older users and users with poor eyesight can see the contents of the cutout display window 201 more clearly.

[0053] In this embodiment, a through groove is provided on the pointer 4 at the position corresponding to the hollow display window 201, and a magnifying glass 5 is provided in the through groove to meet the needs of older users.

[0054] Furthermore, because the cutout display window 201 is relatively small, while the display area for the FODMAP value and level within the inner ring of each large dial is quite large, the cutout display window 201 may only display colors and not clearly show the FODMAP values. Therefore, each FODMAP value within the inner ring of the large dial is converted into a different color, with each of the red, yellow, and green colors divided into dark and light shades: high FODMAP values ​​are dark red and light red; medium FODMAP values ​​are dark yellow and light yellow; and low FODMAP values ​​are dark green and light green. Thus, users can determine the FODMAP value and level simply by looking at the colors displayed in the cutout display window 201.

[0055] This embodiment uses different colors to represent different FODMAP values, allowing users to quickly and intuitively obtain FODMAP values ​​and levels simply by looking at the colors. This avoids the problem where the FODMAP display area on the inner ring of the large dial is large while the cutout area is small, which might prevent the FODMAP values ​​from being displayed.

[0056] Compared to existing technologies, this embodiment sets up a gear turntable 6, and connects the first rotating shaft 3 of the large turntable and the second rotating shaft 7 of the gear turntable 6 through a connecting rod 8. The gear turntable 6 can rotate around its own second rotating shaft 7, and can also rotate around the rotating shaft of the large turntable and mesh with the gear on the outer edge of the large turntable. This allows the specific food sections of the gear turntable 6 to correspond to the food type sections on the outer ring of the large turntable 1. If a user wants to know the FODMAP value and level of a certain type of food, they only need to rotate the large turntable 1 to the direction of the pointer 4 corresponding to that type of food area. The user can then see the color displayed by the magnifying glass 5 and can also see the specific food name, FODMAP value and level, and consumption suggestions by looking at the food type indicated by the pointer 4 on the large turntable 1.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
