Help clients arrive with a clearer picture.
Gutward helps people record food, symptoms, bowel patterns and food reintroductions as they happen — not reconstruct the journey from memory at their next appointment.
We're inviting registered dietitians to help shape the reports and professional tools that could make those records more useful in practice.
Important context is easily lost between appointments
Food, symptoms, bowel changes and reintroductions are often recorded in different places — or recalled weeks later. That can leave clients trying to reconstruct what happened while valuable context remains scattered or missing.

Reports designed for useful conversations
We want Gutward to turn day-to-day records into a clear, reviewable summary that clients can bring to appointments or share with an appropriate professional.
The report should organise what was recorded without diagnosing, prescribing or presenting correlation as causation.
Concept · not a working report or screenshot
- Selected date range.
- Current protocol and stage.
- Foods trialled and the outcomes recorded by the user.
- Symptom and bowel-pattern entries.
- Relevant meal and food records.
- Concurrent changes recorded during a trial.
- Personal notes and observations.
- A chronological timeline.
- Clear separation between protocol rules, recorded facts, user observations and possible context.
Medication, sleep, stress, health-app and wearable context are planned additions — none of this is recorded yet.

Help shape something useful in practice
Gutward is being built from lived experience of Crohn's disease, restrictive diets and food reintroduction. Professional input is essential to make sure its language, reports and workflows are genuinely useful — and remain within appropriate clinical boundaries.
We'd welcome input on:
- Which information clients commonly forget or struggle to organise.
- What makes a summary useful before an appointment.
- What should be excluded to avoid noise or misinterpretation.
- How food-trial context should be presented.
- Appropriate language and safety boundaries.
- Interest in future testing, directory inclusion or client referrals.
We're currently inviting registered dietitians with interests in IBD, autoimmune conditions, elimination diets or food reintroduction. We're looking for early input, not client data — please don't include any client or patient details when you get in touch.
Register professional interestDesigned to support — not replace — professional judgement
Gutward is an organisational and self-observation tool. It is not remote patient monitoring, a diagnostic aid, clinical decision support or a replacement for professional clinical records.
Any future professional feature will be designed to organise client-entered information without making clinical conclusions or treatment recommendations.
