IBS flares have triggers.
Yours are trackable.

How it helps with IBS
Identify your food triggers
Log what you eat alongside symptoms. Patterns across weeks are far more reliable than any single-day elimination test.
See the gut–brain connection
Stress is one of the strongest IBS drivers. Tracking stress alongside symptoms makes the correlation concrete and quantifiable.
Know if you're improving
With a visual calendar, you can see at a glance whether a new treatment, diet change, or lifestyle shift is actually making a difference.
Questions people actually ask
- How long until I can identify my IBS triggers?
- Food triggers usually take 4–8 weeks of consistent logging — a single bad meal is rarely the answer, but a repeated pattern across weeks is reliable. Stress and sleep correlations show up faster, often within 2–3 weeks.
- Do I need to do an elimination diet?
- Not necessarily. Tracking what you eat alongside symptoms over several weeks can reveal trigger foods without the social and nutritional cost of a strict elimination diet. If you do an elimination diet, the app helps you track results.
- What context factors matter for IBS?
- Stress, sleep quality, exercise, food (including FODMAP-relevant items if you're tracking those), hormonal cycle day, and travel/routine changes. The app lets you add anything specific to your situation.
- How do bloating, pain, and urgency differ as symptoms?
- They're distinct symptoms that don't always correlate. Tracking each separately reveals patterns — e.g., stress might drive urgency without bloating, while a specific food might cause bloating without urgency. The visual calendar shows them side-by-side.
- Is this useful for IBD (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis)?
- IBD is a different condition with different tracking priorities (flares, blood, medication effects). We have a separate guide for IBD if that matches your diagnosis.
- Can I share my data with my GI?
- Yes — the health report export shows symptom frequency, intensity by symptom type, and the context factors that correlate most strongly. Useful before appointments or when switching providers.
