The symptoms can vary so considerably from individual to individual that one may wonder if it is even the same condition. I created Bowelle because there is a need for a fresh and modern approach in the marketplace. If you are reading this, chances are that your symptoms are affecting your life more than you like. By keeping a record every day, my hope is that you will identify some of the triggers causing your symptoms. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to drop me a note at feedback@bowelle.com. I will listen to everything coming my way." - Robert Gummesson --- Terms of Use: https://bowelle.com/terms-of-use/
