Medical disclaimer
This wording is the brief-approved provisional draft. It still requires clinical and legal review before Gutward is publicly launched or used to support real dietary decisions.
Gutward is an organisational and self-observation tool, not medical advice. Always discuss dietary, medication and treatment decisions with a qualified healthcare professional.
What Gutward is
Gutward is an organisational and self-observation tool. It helps you keep track of a dietary protocol you have chosen, your own food status, meals, symptoms and reintroductions, in one place.
What Gutward is not
Gutward does not diagnose allergies, intolerances, sensitivities, triggers or disease. It does not identify causation from symptom correlations. It does not cure, treat, heal, prevent or reverse Crohn's disease, IBD or autoimmune disease. It does not determine whether a food is medically safe for you, and it does not replace your doctor, IBD team, allergy service or registered dietitian.
Food allergies
Gutward's food-trial tools are not for diagnosing or testing a suspected food allergy. If you have a known or suspected allergy, seek appropriate medical advice and do not attempt a reintroduction challenge through the app unless directed by a qualified professional.
Crohn's disease specifically
Food suitability may change with active disease, strictures, surgery, obstruction risk, texture and fibre tolerance, medication and individual clinical circumstances. No general food list or protocol, including AIP, is suitable for every person with Crohn's disease.
If you are unwell now
If you are experiencing an active flare, obstruction symptoms, severe pain, or any other urgent health concern, contact your IBD team, GP or emergency services as appropriate — do not rely on Gutward.
