Managing a digestive problem shouldn't feel like a second job. Food advice in one place. Medicines in another. A visit weeks away. You still have to decide what to try, fit it into your day, and remember what changed. A whole new level of digestive-care support. Gutsphere connects your history, goals, and daily actions in one personal system with a manageable plan. GET A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOUR GOAL • Start with your symptoms, history, current care, and what you want to change. • Planning brings eight perspectives together: digestive care, nutrition, pelvic health, medicines, primary care, mental well-being, sleep, and movement. • Gutsphere weighs evidence, likely benefit, effort, risk, and fit with your current care. • Get a six-week plan with three two-week milestones and daily steps. • Review and adjust the actions, timing, and pace before you begin. PUT SELF-CARE INTO PRACTICE Follow guidance for: • Morning bowel routines and regular breakfast cues • Comfortable toilet positioning and foot support • Responding to bowel urges • Breathing and relaxation • Gentle post-meal movement • Comfort routines for bloating • Trying one change at a time Keep clinician-directed home practice, including pelvic floor exercises, aligned with your care team's instructions. KEEP YOUR RECORDS IN ONE PLACE Use 15 trackers and record types to review patterns and prepare for care: • Body signals: bowel movements and stool type; symptoms; menstrual and hormonal changes. • Food and intake: diet and meals; hydration; fasting; food sensitivities and allergies. • Daily context: sleep; stress and mood; movement. • Care followed: medication and supplements; treatment adherence. • Records: test results; biometrics and demographics; notes. Keep suspected sensitivities separate from known allergies. Records do not diagnose allergies. ASK QUESTIONS AND LEARN FROM WHAT YOU TRY • Ask about symptoms, possible contributors, and care options with your history in view. • Compare symptoms with food, routines, and treatments to look for patterns. • Review what improved, what stayed difficult, and what remains unclear. • Use those observations to adjust your pace and build your next plan. Patterns show what happened together, not what caused a symptom. PREPARE FOR MEDICAL CARE • Organize symptoms, treatments tried, test results, and questions in a visit brief. • Review the brief before sharing it. • Keep preparation instructions, timing, and medication questions together. Procedure preparation: • Colonoscopy • Flexible sigmoidoscopy • Upper endoscopy Test information and preparation: • Anorectal manometry • Balloon expulsion testing • Colonic transit testing • Defecography Follow your care team's specific preparation protocol. Gutsphere does not decide which test you need. FOLLOW YOUR CARE BETWEEN VISITS • Keep medication, supplement, and treatment instructions together. • Record what you followed, missed, or found difficult. • Bring those observations and questions to your next appointment. START WHERE YOU ARE Symptoms: Constipation, straining, incomplete emptying, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and urgency. Conditions: Chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Situations: Seeking answers, managing treatment or changing symptoms, preparing for care, or rebuilding routines. One personal system. Room for a thousand dreams.
