My IBD Tracker
STEPHEN RICHARD J FOSTER
I live with ulcerative colitis, and I built My IBD Tracker because the app I needed didn’t exist. It’s designed for Crohn’s, colitis, or any IBD — to help you log what you eat, track how you feel, and finally see the connections between the two. NEW: SYMPTOM REPORTS FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS I added this feature after struggling to summarise months of symptoms in a ten-minute consultation. Generate a clean, clinical PDF covering up to a full year of your data — bowel movements, cramps, stress and energy — so you can walk into your next IBD appointment with the full picture, not just what you remember from the last bad week. Configure the date range and detail level, and share or print it however’s useful. LOG FOOD & DRINK Record meals, snacks and drinks in seconds. Save favourites and recent items for one-tap re-logging, and tag anything with custom trigger labels — dairy, spicy, processed, high fibre, alcohol and more — fully editable to match your own diet. TRACK SYMPTOMS IN DETAIL Bowel movements logged against the Bristol Stool Scale, with urgency and blood indication. Cramps recorded by pain level and location. Fatigue and its impact on your day. Nothing generic — built specifically for IBD. DAILY CHECK-IN A single daily entry captures the context that shapes your symptoms: day type (normal, holiday, sick), location (home, office, travel), stress level and energy level. Spot whether travel, work stress or a change in routine is really behind a flare. A reminder notification means you won’t forget. SEE THE PATTERNS The Patterns view overlays energy and stress on your symptom trends, and breaks down bowel movements, cramps, energy and stress by day type, location and individual trigger — including same-day and next-day comparisons, so you can see delayed reactions, not just immediate ones. QUICK-LOG WIDGETS View today's summary, add a meal, snack, drink, bowel movement, cramp or daily check-in straight from your Home Screen or Lock Screen — no need to even open the app. YOUR HISTORY, ORGANISED Browse any day to see every entry on one timeline alongside your daily check-in summary, so you always have the full picture before an appointment. A REFRESHED LOOK My IBD Tracker now shares a consistent look and feel with the other apps I build — cleaner, calmer, and more consistent throughout. I built this for myself first, with full control to customise trigger lists, defaults and categories to match real life. If something’s missing, confusing, or could work better for you, I genuinely want to hear about it — this app grows from real feedback, not guesswork. And if it’s helped you make sense of your IBD, a review means a lot and helps other people managing the same thing find it too.
