For Functional Medicine Practitioners
Your Gut Patients Need Better Data Between Visits.
GLP1Gut is a free symptom tracker built for SIBO. Patients log meals, supplements, and symptoms daily. You get objective data instead of memory.
Send to a Patient
Your patients are juggling 8 variables. Give them one place to track it all.
Free app that logs meals, supplements, symptoms, and meal spacing. When they come back in 4 weeks, you can actually see what happened.
Why This Page Exists
SIBO patients need to track more than calories. They need to connect what they eat to how they feel, across days and weeks, in a way that produces data you can actually use. Most of them try a spreadsheet or a generic food diary app and give up within a week.
GLP1Gut is a free iOS app built specifically for this. Patients snap a photo of their meal, rate their bloat, and the app logs ingredients and tracks patterns over time. After a week or two, triggers start surfacing. After a month, they have a map you can plan around.
This page is here so you can share that tool with your patients in one tap, and read articles written for your practice, not theirs. The content below covers the workflow problems functional medicine actually deal with when managing SIBO.

Stop Untangling 4 Weeks of 'I Think the Herbs Helped'
Your patient changed three things at once and can't tell you which one worked. This app tracks meals, symptoms, supplements, and timing so you can see the data instead of guessing alongside them.
