Diverticulitis flares are frightening, and the scariest question is the simplest one: "What can I eat right now?" Diverticulitis Coach walks you through recovery one day at a time, so you always know what is safe to eat today and what the next stage looks like. STAGES 1 AND 2 ARE FREE ON EVERY FLARE Clear liquids and low-fiber foods, the first two stages of every flare, are free, always. The first flare you record in the app has every stage free. Nothing interrupts you to ask for payment while you are unwell: the price appears only on things you choose to open. FREE, ALWAYS The urgent-symptom checklist and the screen it opens · stages 1 and 2 of every flare · closing a flare · the morning check-in, water and fiber · the symptom log and daily diary · Looking back · "Can I eat this?" and barcode scan · your flare history · every Learn article · the guide to the surgery conversation. When you're not sure: the ten signs, your own doctor's plan, and a reminder to check again. KEEP THE APP FOR THE LONG RUN — ONE PURCHASE "My diverticulitis" puts what your own record says on one screen: Before this flare, the five things with your own fiber figure, fiber by month, In your record, questions for your next appointment, the doctor's report (PDF), and Home from hospital (free on your first flare). It also includes stages 3 and 4 on every flare after your first, recipes and shopping lists, and eating-out guidance. One payment, no subscription. FLARE MODE A comfort-led path through clear liquids, low-fiber foods and adding fiber back — with the allowed and avoid lists for each stage. You decide every step, and skipping ahead is fine. CAN I EAT THIS? Search any of 758 foods, spelled your way, or scan a barcode, and get an answer for the stage you are in today. The same food can be a yes now and a no later — the app explains why, instead of leaving you guessing. RECOVERY COUNTDOWN See which day you are on, with plain guidance about when it is worth checking in with your clinician. HONEST ABOUT NUTS, SEEDS AND CORN You may have been told to avoid them for life. Large studies do not support that. We explain what the evidence actually says, and why they are only left out during one temporary stage. RECORDS FOR YOUR DOCTOR A clean flare history — dates, durations, antibiotics, CT-confirmed or not — and a plain PDF to bring to your GP or surgeon. Presented neutrally, with no recommendation either way. BETWEEN FLARES Track your flare-free days, build back to a high-fiber routine, and keep a personal list of the foods that genuinely bother you. Every two weeks the app can ask six short questions about how things have really been — pain, bowel habits, worry, mood, what you have been avoiding, and the effect on your days overall. Your answers build the picture of the in-between weeks that is hardest to describe at an appointment. This check-in, and the neutral guide to the elective-surgery conversation, are free. BUILT FOR COMFORT, NOT CLUTTER Large type, high contrast, one main action per screen. Your records stay on your iPhone and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud. No ads. No trackers. No account needed. SOURCES Clinical content is based on Mayo Clinic, NHS, UCSF, AGA and ACG guidance, with sources shown in the app. PURCHASE DETAILS Flare Recovery ($12.99, USD; local price shown before purchase) is a one-time purchase. It does not renew, and there is no subscription. Privacy Policy: https://www.velorahealth.io/diverticulitis/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.velorahealth.io/diverticulitis/terms IMPORTANT This app helps you follow the diet plan your doctor recommends. It does not diagnose any condition, it cannot tell you whether you are having a flare, and it is not a substitute for medical care. If you have severe pain, a fever, bleeding, or cannot keep liquids down, contact your doctor or emergency services now.
