Is there a free app to track IBS triggers?

Bowelle and Bearable have free tiers, but you do the analysis yourself. GutSync’s first 7 days of Pro are free, no card, and most people see their first pattern in that week.

Is there an IBS app for Android?

GutSync runs in the browser on any Android phone, and you can log by texting it on Telegram. Nothing to download.

Are there AI apps for IBS?

Plenty launched in 2025, mostly iPhone-only photo loggers. GutSync is the one that keeps working on your diary between chats, runs the trial for you and shows its math.

Is Cara Care still available?

Not in the US. The US app hasn’t been updated since October 2020, and Cara Care is now a prescription IBS therapy in Germany, owned by Bayer since 2025. GutSync finds your triggers today, in any browser.

Can an IBS app replace my doctor or dietitian?

No. GutSync finds your triggers and gives your GI a report worth reading. Diagnosis and diet plans stay with your clinician.

The short answer

GutSync. It’s the only one that finds your triggers for you: it scores every food against your history and proves the top suspect with a trial. The rest leave the work to you. mySymptoms and Bowelle are manual diaries, Monash is a FODMAP guide, Bearable is a general tracker, Nerva is hypnotherapy and Fig is a grocery scanner.

How GutSync works

Four steps. You only do the first.

You tell it what you ate. GutSync does everything else, around the clock.

Take the full tour

You log
Log a meal in one sentence.
Type it, say it, snap it or text it. GutSync handles the rest.
It measures
Every trigger comes with a number.
Every food scored against your own history, with the proof attached.
It investigates
Suspect a food? Put it on trial.
GutSync runs the elimination on autopilot and won’t stop until there’s a verdict.
It remembers
Generic on day 7. Specific on day 60.
It knows your history and pings you the moment the evidence moves.

Questions

IBS app questions.

“Got diagnosed with diverticulitis back in 2023. Tried a bunch of other logging apps and they all sucked. Now I just talk to GutSync after meals and the AI actually helps me understand what’s going on with my gut before I ever get to the doctor.”
