Common questions
Questions about Ulcerative Colitis.
What should I track with ulcerative colitis?
Bowel symptoms (how often and how urgent), pain, energy, and what you eat. Logging food next to your symptoms is the best way to spot what sets off a flare.
How do I find my UC food triggers?
Keep 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.
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 missed.
Is there a free, private ulcerative colitis tracker?
Yes. Valeska is free to start. It encrypts your local record and lets you control what is synced or shared.
Should I track 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, so you can catch the next one early.
