Testing a smartphone app to help manage diet with inflammatory bowel disease

This trial is testing a smartphone app called MyIBDDiet that's designed to help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) manage what they eat. The app lets you track your meals, see how different foods might affect your symptoms, and get real-time feedback on whether foods are helpful or should be avoided. By combining food tracking with symptom tracking, this treatment aims to help you find patterns between what you eat and how you feel.

Right now, most people with IBD don't get enough personalized guidance about what to eat — their doctor may not have time, or they can't see a dietician regularly. Recent research shows that diet, especially a Mediterranean-style diet and avoiding ultra-processed foods, can help manage IBD. This app was created to fill that gap by giving you daily support and reminders to stick with healthier eating patterns.
