Someone looking to fix their gas or regular diarrhea isn't going to be able to distinguish between gut inflammation and not. They're just going to be searching how to fix IBS. I don't see how your app would distinguish between these either, before posing as a treatment.

Nerva is for people have been diagnosed with IBS, not for people who have self-diagnosed themselves. Many conditions present similar symptoms like IBD, celiac disease etc so it’s important people are properly diagnosed before attempting any management options including the low FODMAP diet and GDH.

Nerva isn’t a treatment, it’s a program that teaches people self-regulation skills and relaxation exercises that can help them self-manage their symptoms.
