"Tracking protein and hydration before infusion days helped me stop guessing what to tell my nurse. IBDPal logs made my appointments shorter and clearer."
Maya was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in her late twenties. Between infusion appointments she wanted a simple way to remember meals, fluids, and symptom trends without carrying a notebook.
She logs breakfast protein, water intake, and any cramping in IBDPal during the week before each infusion. At the chair, she exports a one-page summary for her nurse.
Her team still makes all treatment decisions. The logs simply help her arrive prepared and ask better questions about nutrition labs and fatigue.
