This is great, guys! I have IBS, and there's always been a lack of research-backed options for alleviating symptoms besides the low-FODMAP diet. I actually have a friend who has tried this program and has had tremendous results, and it's cool to see that there's another app for broader purposes. Wishing you guys luck!

Thanks! The low FODMAP diet is a great option but there's many people who would prefer not to have to restrict their diet (myself included).

That's really great to hear! Let us know if he has any feedback.

Some say fecal transplants are also great (for many things including IBS), is that true from your research?
Fecal transplants are not currently an approved treatment for IBS but there has been some recent research indicating it could potentially be helpful in some cases: https://www.jwatch.org/na50649/2020/01/09/fecal-microbiota-t...
