Question 1

What is Gut Pace?

Accepted Answer

Gut Pace is a gut health tracking app that helps you record meals, symptoms, bowel movements, sleep, hydration and lifestyle information. It can help you identify patterns in your personal data, but it does not diagnose or treat IBS.

Question 2

Is Gut Pace designed for people with IBS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gut Pace is built with IBS and digestive symptoms in mind — symptom and bowel movement logging, FODMAP grading and meal-to-symptom patterns — while staying useful for anyone who wants to understand their gut.

Question 3

Can Gut Pace diagnose IBS?

Accepted Answer

No. Gut Pace cannot diagnose IBS or any other condition. Only a qualified healthcare professional can do that. Gut Pace gives you an organised record of your symptoms and habits to discuss with them.

Question 4

What IBS symptoms can I track?

Accepted Answer

You can log bloating, abdominal discomfort, bowel movements and stool type on the Bristol scale, general digestive discomfort, mood and stress, alongside meals, hydration and sleep.

Question 5

Can Gut Pace help me identify possible food triggers?

Accepted Answer

It can help you spot possible patterns between the foods you log and the symptoms that follow. These are observations from your own data, not proof that a specific food causes your symptoms — worth discussing with your healthcare professional or dietitian.

Question 6

How does Gut Pace help me understand digestive patterns?

Accepted Answer

You log a meal in seconds by photo, voice or preset. Gut Pace identifies the ingredients, grades their FODMAP load, and lines up what you ate with the symptoms, stool entries, sleep and stress you record. Over time it highlights foods and habits that may be connected to how you feel.

Question 7

How is the daily score calculated?

Accepted Answer

We combine what you log (food, symptoms, stool, sleep, stress, water, meds) with patterns from your own history. The score updates every time you add a new log.

Question 8

What are Logging Points and how do I earn them?

Accepted Answer

Logging Points reward consistency. You earn them for each meal, symptom, stool, sleep and hydration entry, with streak bonuses for logging several days in a row. More complete logs mean sharper trigger detection, so the points track how reliable your insights are.

Question 9

How long before Gut Pace finds my trigger foods?

Accepted Answer

Timing varies because useful patterns depend on consistent logs and repeated events. Gut Pace shows the available evidence for a suspected pattern rather than promising an answer by a fixed date.

Question 10

Is Gut Pace good for IBS, bloating and IBD?

Accepted Answer

Gut Pace is built for people managing IBS, chronic bloating, reflux, IBD and general digestive discomfort. It does not diagnose anything — it gives you and your clinician a clear, structured record of what you eat, how you feel and what changes when.

Question 11

Can Gut Pace replace my doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. Gut Pace is a wellness and tracking tool, not a medical device. Always consult your clinician for diagnosis or treatment decisions.

Question 12

What are FODMAPs and how does Gut Pace grade them?

Accepted Answer

FODMAPs are four families of fermentable carbohydrate — fructans and GOS, lactose, excess fructose, and polyols. Gut Pace grades every recognised ingredient across five severity levels, from Safe to Very high, and cross-checks it against the triggers you have already confirmed.

Question 13

Can Gut Pace guide a low-FODMAP elimination and reintroduction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can run an elimination phase with high-FODMAP ingredients flagged before you eat them, then reintroduce one FODMAP group at a time while Gut Pace tracks the symptom response for that group specifically.

Question 14

What is the Bristol Stool Scale and why does Gut Pace use it?

Accepted Answer

The Bristol Stool Scale classifies stool into seven types, from hard lumps (type 1) to fully liquid (type 7). Logging your type takes one tap and gives Gut Pace an objective signal of gut transit, which is far more reliable than remembering how a week felt.

Question 15

Do I have to weigh or measure my food?

Accepted Answer

No. Snap a photo, speak a sentence, or tap a preset. The scanner estimates portions and you can correct anything it gets wrong in one tap.

Question 16

How accurate is the AI food scanner?

Accepted Answer

The scanner recognises most common meals, packaged products and restaurant dishes, and lists every ingredient it detects so you can confirm or edit them. Anything you correct is remembered, so accuracy improves the more you use it.

Question 17

Does Gut Pace work offline?

Accepted Answer

You can log meals, symptoms and stool entries without a connection. Entries sync and get analysed as soon as you are back online.

Question 18

Does it sync with Apple Health or wearables?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With your permission, Gut Pace can bring in sleep, steps, heart-rate variability and other supported metrics through Apple HealthKit and Samsung Health Connect.

Question 19

Why do sleep and stress matter for gut symptoms?

Accepted Answer

The gut-brain axis means poor sleep and high stress can trigger symptoms even when your food is unchanged. Pulling those signals in stops Gut Pace from blaming a meal for a bad night.

Question 20

Can I share my data with my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gut Pace generates a doctor-ready PDF covering your symptom timeline, Bristol distribution, suspected triggers, FODMAP load, medication adherence and lifestyle context for any window you choose.

Question 21

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Gut Pace is designed to keep your logs private and give you controls to export or delete your information. Read the privacy policy for current details.

Question 22

Do you sell my health data?

Accepted Answer

Never. We do not sell or rent your health data, and we do not share it with advertisers. See our privacy policy for the full detail.

Question 23

How much does Gut Pace cost?

Accepted Answer

Gut Pace is one simple plan at 20 USD per month, with every feature included — scanner, FODMAP grading, AI coach, wearables sync and clinical exports. No feature tiers, no add-ons.

Question 24

How does the trial work?

Accepted Answer

You get 30 days of full access for free. If it is not for you, cancel anytime before the trial ends and you will not be charged.

Question 25

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel in a couple of taps from your account settings. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, and you can export your data before you go.

Question 26

Is Gut Pace available on iPhone and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gut Pace runs on both iOS and Android, and your data syncs across devices with the same account.

Question 27

How is Gut Pace different from a paper food diary or a calorie app?

Accepted Answer

Calorie apps count macros; paper diaries make you find the pattern yourself. Gut Pace is built around digestive outcomes — it grades FODMAPs, correlates meals with symptoms and stool, factors in sleep and stress, and hands you a ranked list of likely triggers.

Question 28

Can I use Gut Pace with a dietitian or as a clinician?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Patients can export a structured report for any date range, so dietitians and gastroenterologists get a readable timeline of intake, symptoms, Bristol types and adherence instead of recall from memory.
