Gut Journal: Track Bloating, Digestion, and Energy with Fiber
Quick answer
Fiberly’s gut journal is a quick daily check-in for bloating, bowel movements, and energy. It sits next to your fiber log, so you can see how your gut responds when your fiber goes up or down.
Check-ins are free and take a few seconds. With Premium, Fiberly compares your check-ins with your fiber over 30 days and points out patterns in plain language.
A check-in in a few taps
- Bloating: none, mild, moderate, or severe.
- Bowel movement: the seven Bristol stool scale types, with a short description of each.
- Energy: from very low to great.
- An optional note for anything else you want to remember.
See fiber and bloating together
The Gut tab shows your daily fiber as bars, colored by the bloating you logged that day, with your goal as a reference line. It makes it easier to notice whether a big jump in fiber was followed by a harder day.
Patterns from your own log
Once there are a few days on each side to compare, Fiberly can describe patterns such as whether bloating was lower on days you reached your fiber goal, or whether you rated your energy higher on higher-fiber days.
Patterns describe your own logs. They are not a diagnosis, and Fiberly does not give medical advice.
Built for raising fiber gently
Adding fiber too quickly is a common cause of gas and bloating. Pair the gut journal with Build Up Gradually, which raises your goal by 3 grams a week, and you can see whether the pace suits you before you go further.
Common questions
Is the gut journal free?
Yes. Gut check-ins are free for every user. Premium adds the fiber and bloating chart, personal patterns, and 30 days of check-in history.
What is the Bristol stool scale?
It is a seven-type chart that describes stool form, from separate hard lumps (type 1) to entirely liquid (type 7). Types 3 and 4 are generally considered the typical range.
Can Fiberly tell me what is causing my bloating?
No. Fiberly shows how your own check-ins line up with your fiber. Talk to a clinician about symptoms that worry you or do not go away.
Are my gut check-ins private?
Yes. They are stored on your device, like the rest of your Fiberly log.
