About IBDPal
Our mission: IBDPal helps people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis understand nutrition, flares, and daily management through free patient education and a tracking app from nonprofit MediVue.

Who we are
IBDPal is a program of MediVue, a North Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on IBD community education and self-management tools. We combine a free iOS app for food and symptom tracking with a growing library of articles, guides, and state support resources on ibdpal.org.
We are not a hospital, drug company, or substitute for your gastroenterologist. Everything on this site is educational. Clinical decisions belong with your care team.
Foundation education under license. Selected educational content and Marks from the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation are used on IBDPal under license for patient education. MediVue and the Foundation are independent organizations. The Foundation does not endorse IBDPal or MediVue products or services, and IBDPal is not a Foundation partner.

The Founder
IBDPal grew from a belief that people navigating Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis deserve clear education and calm tools between clinic visits. The founder built IBDPal around that standard.
