Log what you eat and how you feel; Bulgu finds possible triggers in your own records. No account, and your diary stays encrypted on your phone. Bulgu is an experiment notebook for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Log what you eat, how you feel and how your gut is doing in a few taps. As your records build up, Bulgu looks for the foods and situations that come before more bloating, pain and gas, using your own data, and then helps you check them with a planned low-FODMAP test. QUICK LOGGING • Meals: more than 14,000 foods. Turkish dishes such as lentil soup, lahmacun, manti, ayran and simit are tagged with their FODMAP groups, alongside international foods from USDA, Ciqual and CoFID. • Add an amount to any food and the ingredients of a home-made dish. • Symptoms: pain, bloating, gas and urgency on a 0–10 scale. • Stool: Bristol type, urgency and the feeling of incomplete emptying. • Daily check-in: stress, mood, energy and sleep. • Water: a daily goal and reminders. • Every entry has a time, and earlier days stay editable. • Save meals you eat often as templates and repeat recent meals in one tap. POSSIBLE TRIGGERS Bulgu looks at meals 4–48 hours before your symptoms. For FODMAP groups (fructans, GOS, lactose, fructose, sorbitol, mannitol), single foods and daily habits such as stress, sleep, water and activity, it shows an estimated difference and how uncertain it is. The logs behind each result are one tap away. A result is an association worth testing, not a proven cause. All of it runs on your phone. A STEP-BY-STEP LOW-FODMAP PROTOCOL • A 14-day baseline gives you something to compare against. • A 4–6 week elimination: standard low FODMAP, or a gentle mode that only leaves out what you suspect. • Decision: look at whether things clearly improved. • Reintroduction: three days of rising portions for each group, then washout days, with reminders on test days. • Personalisation, and a retest a few months later. The app suggests each step and you decide. Ideally, plan it with a dietitian. SEE YOUR WEEK A weekly score, the trend over recent weeks, Bristol distribution and stress, sleep and energy averages. Connect Apple Health to see sleep, steps, water and weight next to your logs. A REPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR Create a PDF in English or Turkish with your answers, treatments, symptom scores, protocol and test results, right on your phone, and share it with whoever you choose. BULGU PLUS The diary, history, weekly summary, your first possible trigger, your first protocol and the basic PDF are free. Plus adds: • Up to three possible triggers, with the logs behind them • Further protocols and retests • A detailed PDF, and the last 30 days compared with the 30 before • Optional AI interpretations: 100 food interpretations and 10 protocol reports a month. No sign-in; you preview and approve every request. Plus is available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Lifetime access does not renew. Prices are shown in the store; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled and are managed in your store account. When Plus ends you can finish a protocol you started and still read past results. PRIVACY • No account needed. • Your diary stays on your phone in an encrypted database. • Health records leave your phone only when you share them: a PDF, a CSV file, an encrypted backup or an AI request you approve. • Back up to a single file encrypted with a passphrase you choose. • No ads, no tracking. IMPORTANT Bulgu does not diagnose or treat any condition and is not medical advice. See a doctor about blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, pain that wakes you at night or fever. The FODMAP tags on Turkish dishes are a draft from general guidance, not yet reviewed by a dietitian. International foods show their FODMAP content as unknown. AI interpretations are estimates, not measurements or a diagnosis.
