Correlate your poor bowel movements with recent meals. No nutritional inputs, no guessing at firmness, and no giant database of foods. Just type in what you ate—"latte", "pizza", "chai”—and log bowel movements as good or bad. Then put your phone away and get on with your day. Brown Note learns what you mean, asks you for more information asynchronously ("What is in a latte?") and reports back when it has identified a correlation to look into more. That's it. DISCLAIMER: Brown Note does not provide medical diagnoses. Consult with your doctor before making changes to your diet that could impact your health.
