I dig it
I am a male and I suffer from IBS-D, heartburn and acid reflux. This app is helping me to track and take note of my trigger foods and ultimately avoid or at least be aware of the things that are and are not causing my symptoms . It is fairly easy to use this app in conjunction with the FODMAP diet, but many of the foods are more European than American in regards to the commonality and name. Luckily, you can add as many foods and name them, or mis-name, them however you like and that has worked super well when doing to FODMAP plan as there are many strange concoctions and gluten free varieties of foods to track. I also have had great success snapping pictures of my food and saving them in the “saved or favorite” recipes area making it particularly handy to meal prep for multiple days at a time and not have to try and re-enter everything over and over again for any meal you eat it at. Don’t worry, if you forget to save you can roll back to the day you had something previously, pop it open and save it to your favorites list (I do this several times a week). I also find that I may prep salads for a week but add carrots one day or a different/no dressing on another day, I enjoy that the saved recipes are not locked and you can odd or remove any part of it after selecting it as the meal you’re entering. Enjoy your results!

Excellent Features
I’ve struggled with IBS as well as other unknown chronic illnesses, food intolerances, anxiety, depression, etc. since I was 15 (I’m now 21). A few months ago I saw a nutritionist that simply provided me with a template to track everything that I eat. It really opened my eyes to the content and amount I was eating and how it may have connections to flare-ups of symptoms but as you can imagine, it’s difficult to hand-write notes on every single thing you eat when you’re leading a busy lifestyle. Especially when I snack all day long! I tried other similar apps that only track your calories by scanning barcodes and that actually encouraged me to eat more processed, packaged foods because of the ease of tracking the calories. I love that this app leaves so much room for customization not only with the foods that you put (I personally input the brand and the grams of sugar per meal for my own use) but also symptoms (what some may call “indigestion” I call “sharp epigastric pain”) and you can add these custom symptom tags! Cara support seems very responsive and personable as well. Very happy that I found this app, and I highly recommend it for anyone suffering of anything chronic.

Still THE best - ride out the update
(I changed my review from three to five stars since they’ve been so diligent about taking feedback on the latest update) Absolutely *the* most comprehensive whole body app around. Yes, the new update has some bugs, and yes, they are working on it. (I’ve sent them extensive screenshots and they’ve replied to my annoyingly detailed messages so kindly) This is not just for IBS or gastrointestinal issues, my psychiatrist actually recommended it for my bipolar meds and sleep/meal/exercise tracking. If you’re looking for a calorie/quick weight loss fix, this is not for you. If you’re looking for something that will help you improve your overall wellbeing for a lifetime, download this app. Whole health is comprehensive and involves far more than fat/calories, and this app covers it ALL - sleep, skin, physical pain vs mental pain, so many others that I’ve forgotten! You can adjust the lineup as needed in order of most frequently used. I cannot say enough good about Cara, and now include their team in that praise as well. I would easily pay for this the same I do for my Calm app, and it’s FREE and ad free. Download this! No question.
