Steady Belly
I built Steady Belly after my own diverticulitis diagnosis, which came with a scary attack, a course of antibiotics, and a pile of contradictory diet advice. Every tracking app I tried was built for IBS or Crohn's — none of them knew what "low residue" meant, or when I could stop eating like a toddler, or that the rules change completely depending on whether you're mid-flare or months clear.
So I built the tracker I actually needed. Steady Belly is a small, independent project — right now it's just me, building this because I wanted it to exist.
The tracking basics are free. Everything is designed around one rule: this app should never be the reason you second-guess whether to call a doctor.
Steady Belly is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose or treat anything. The educational content in the app — food-stage guidance, trigger information, warning signs — is written from peer-reviewed research and standard clinical guidelines, with sources cited rather than asserted.
Clinical review: we're in the process of bringing on a credentialed reviewer (RD or GI nurse practitioner) to formally review the app's medical content. Until that's named here, treat the in-app guidance as well-researched, not clinically reviewed — and always defer to your own doctor's instructions for your specific case.
Your logs are private by default — only you can see them. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail on what's collected and why.
