The best way to track Irritable Bowel Syndrome is to separate symptoms by domain, log what changed when it happened, and connect each entry to triggers, treatment, and daily impact. Juno turns low-effort voice or text check-ins into a timeline your gastroenterologist or GP can review. Symptom timing Possible triggers Treatment response Appointment questions ### What should your IBS symptom tracker record? A strong Irritable Bowel Syndrome tracker records separate symptom domains, timing, triggers, treatment context, and functional impact. For Irritable Bowel Syndrome, the most useful entries are abdominal pain and cramping, bowel habits (frequency, bristol form), food and meal timing, stress and mood, bloating and gas. ### How does tracking Irritable Bowel Syndrome help at appointments? Tracking gives your gastroenterologist or GP a cleaner timeline than memory can provide. It turns scattered day-to-day notes into onset, duration, recovery, possible triggers, medication context, and the questions you need answered. ### When should new Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms be escalated? New, sudden, severe, or worsening symptoms should be shared with your clinical team promptly, especially when they affect daily safety, function, medication response, or a body system your care team is already monitoring. Juno helps you record what changed, but your clinician decides what needs urgent care. ### What should you log? - Abdominal pain and cramping - Bowel habits (frequency, Bristol form) - Food and meal timing - Stress and mood - Bloating and gas - Flares - Sleep - Hydration ### What patterns matter? - Foods that show up before symptoms across multiple weeks - Stress days preceding bowel changes - Symptom timing relative to meals - Sleep loss and next-day digestive symptoms ### What should you bring? - Stool pattern using a recognisable scale (Bristol) - Pain timing relative to meals and bowel movements - A meal log surfaced against symptom days - Stress and lifestyle context - Specific questions for your gastroenterologist or GP Tracker comparison ## What makes Juno different from a generic tracker? Generic trackers often flatten complex symptoms into one daily score. Juno keeps the details separate enough for pattern recognition and clear enough for appointments. | Need | Generic tracker | Juno | | --- | --- | --- | | Food diary | 30 fields per meal, abandoned by day three | Plain-language meal notes, working in seconds | | Bristol scale | Not used | Stool form using the scale clinicians actually read | | Stress vs food | Conflated as 'triggers' | Separated so you can see which is doing more | | Flare narrative | Free-text recall | Flare with meals, stress, and sleep stacked alongside | | GI appointment prep | Verbal recall | Tidy summary timed to the visit | Key benefits ## Four ways Juno makes life with IBS a little easier. ### Spot Irritable Bowel Syndrome flare patterns sooner Track shifts in abdominal pain and cramping, bowel habits (frequency, bristol form), food and meal timing, stress and mood before they blur together by the next appointment. ### Track symptoms automatically Tell Juno what happened in plain language and it turns that into a clear symptom timeline without extra admin. ### Protect your energy See what tends to push you past baseline so you can pace the week with less guesswork around irritable bowel syndrome. ### Show up prepared Turn daily notes, symptom changes, and context into something your gastroenterologist or GP can actually use.

IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder defined by recurrent abdominal pain associated with changes in stool frequency or form, in the absence of structural or biochemical abnormalities. It's commonly diagnosed clinically using criteria such as Rome IV. ### Can I do a low-FODMAP elimination inside Juno? Juno is a tracker, not a dietary protocol. If you're working through low-FODMAP or another elimination plan, tracking can support it — but the protocol itself should be guided by a qualified clinician or dietitian. ### Will it tell me which foods are triggers? It surfaces which foods recur before symptoms over time — patterns, not promises. The interpretation is yours and your clinician's. ### Does it understand the Bristol scale? Yes. Stool form is logged on the Bristol scale, the same scale your GI uses. ### Is the data private? Yes. Health data is not sold and you decide what's shared.
