Common questions
Questions about Crohn's & Colitis.
What should I track with Crohn's or colitis?
Bowel symptoms (frequency and urgency), pain, energy, and what you eat. Logging food next to your symptoms is the best way to spot the foods that set off a flare.
How do I find my food triggers?
Write meals and symptoms in the same place for a few weeks, and change one food at a time. Triggers show up as repeats, not one bad day. An app that logs food next to symptoms makes the pattern easier to see.
Can an app help me get ready for my GI appointment?
Yes. Valeska turns weeks of symptom and food logs into a clear summary you can hand to your GI, so nothing important gets forgotten.
Is there a private way to track Crohn's or colitis symptoms?
Yes. Valeska is free to start. It encrypts your local record and lets you control what is synced or shared.
Should I track my symptoms during a flare and in remission?
Yes. Logging in both helps you see what a flare looks like for you and what your normal feels like. That makes it easier to catch the next flare early.
Is there a quick way to start tracking Crohn's or colitis?
Yes. Valeska has a searchable IBD starter pack. One tap adds what people with Crohn's or colitis often track, like bowel symptoms, pain, energy, and food, and you keep only what fits you.
