How It Works

Baseline helps you understand patterns in your IBS symptoms by:

• Tracking daily logs (symptoms, stress, sleep, triggers)
• Learning your personal baseline (stable vs flare)
• Identifying what's associated with changes in symptoms
• Running structured experiments to test specific changes
• Generating plain-English summaries for doctor visits (Pro+)

Your baseline is your normal pattern. After 7-14 days of logging, Baseline learns what "stable" looks like for you.

A flare day is when symptoms are notably worse than your baseline. Baseline compares your flare days to stable days to identify patterns.

Insights show what factors appear associated with your flares:

• Severity insights: What's linked to worse symptoms
• Flare insights: What's present more often on flare days
• Confidence levels: Based on how consistent the pattern is

All insights use non-causal language like "associated with" and "appears to" based on your data.

Test one change at a time:

1. Define what you're changing (e.g., "Eliminating coffee")
2. Log as normal during the experiment
3. Baseline compares before vs during periods
4. See clear conclusions about whether it made a difference

This helps you avoid unnecessary restrictions and focus on what truly matters.
