Frequently asked questions
GutSpy IBS helps you find your triggers in 14 days with individual patterns (based on your logs) and personal insights exports. Below are answers to common questions.
What makes GutSpy different from other IBS apps?
Focused on IBS, GutSpy identifies unique patterns within your symptom windows to generate personal insight reports. No calorie counting or generic advice—just fast, 30-second logging and the data you need for informed conversations.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your health data stays on your device and in your private Firebase account. We never sell your data. Exports are generated on your device and shared only when you choose.
How long until I see patterns?
Most users see meaningful patterns in 7–14 days of consistent logging. The 14-day IBS Detective mode (Premium) guides you through optimal tracking to speed this up.
Can I use this with my healthcare professional?
Absolutely. The personal insight export provides a structured look at your unique patterns, Bristol scale distribution, and symptom timelines. It is designed to give you the clarity needed for informed conversations during your next appointment.
How do you show how much data a pattern is based on?
Every pattern shows "Seen X times in your logs" so you know how much data backs it. For example, "Coffee → looser stool (within 12–36h, seen 8 times in your logs)" This means we found 8 instances where coffee was followed by looser stool 12–36 hours later. We also use labels like Limited data, Some data, or Strongest signal. More logs = clearer patterns.
Do I need Premium to log my data?
No. Unlimited Bowel Movement (BM) logging, symptom tracking, timeline view, and weekly summaries are free forever. Premium unlocks patterns, advanced trends, exports, and the 14-day mode.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Your data remains yours, and you'll keep free features after canceling.
