Hey Product Hunt 👋 I haven't gotten an official diagnosis yet — but I'm pretty confident I have Alpha-gal Syndrome. I figured it out through AI, not a doctor. I described my symptoms, the timing of reactions, what I'd eaten — and the AI connected the dots before any physician did. That experience sent me down a rabbit hole. AGS is triggered by mammalian meat and derivatives, but the real problem is everything hidden: gelatin in marshmallows, lard in restaurant tortillas, carrageenan in "dairy-free" milk, beef extract hiding as "natural flavors." Standard allergen labels don't flag any of it. So I built The Safe Sous — and it's a lot more than a recipe generator: → Brand Checker — type any product or brand, get a verdict against your allergy profile → Label Scanner — paste an ingredient list and every item gets flagged safe, caution, or unsafe → Photograph the Label — point your camera at any label, Claude reads it and analyzes it instantly → Barcode Scanner — scan a product in-store, checks Open Food Facts + USDA + our own cache → Menu Analyzer — photograph a restaurant menu and get every safe dish highlighted instantly → Recipe Adapter — paste any recipe you love, get a fully safe version back → Meal Planner — generates a full week of safe meals automatically → Reaction Diary — log symptoms, get AI insights on patterns over time I use Claude for the AI reasoning because it handles nuance — knowing that "natural flavors" in a savory product warrants a flag, not a pass. If AI helped me figure out what was wrong, maybe it can help others eat safely too. That's the whole idea. Happy to answer anything — especially from anyone managing AGS, MCAS, or overlapping allergies.
