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.

MediVue Founders
IBDPal began after identifying a gap between clinic visits: hard-to-track meals, unpredictable symptoms, and scattered education online.
The MediVue Founders team set out to build a calm place to log food and symptoms between appointments, plus honest, readable education that does not require a medical degree to understand.
