A quiet digestion & bathroom log
tadoy's bathroom module is a small, private digestion tracker — bowel movements, Bristol stool scale, urgency, blood, useful for IBS, IBD and food-sensitivity work. It's off by default and never the headline of the app. When it's on, it sits quietly on the body page next to food, cycle and sleep.
What's in the bathroom module
- Bowel movements — count, Bristol stool scale (1–7), one tap.
- Urgency, blood, mucus, pain — short tap-lists, optional.
- Free-text note — anything you want to remember.
- Urination tracking — count, urgency, optional, off by default.
- Trend view — patterns across the week and month.
- Body page integration — entries sit next to food, cycle, sleep, stress.
- Hide-on-tab — switch the whole module off if you'd rather not see it.
Why this module exists
Digestion is one of the clearest daily signals of how the rest of the body is doing. People who track it usually have a reason — IBS, IBD, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, food sensitivities, post-surgical recovery, or simply wanting to bring concrete evidence to a doctor's appointment.
For those reasons, a calm log that lives on the device — not on a server — and reads alongside food, stress and cycle entries is genuinely useful. tadoy's bathroom module is built for that work, and is also easy to ignore if it isn't your reason.
A log, not a clinical tool
Worth being explicit. tadoy's bathroom module is a tracker. It doesn't diagnose. It isn't a clinical IBS/IBD workflow tool like Cara Care, which is built specifically around the gastroenterology pathway with structured flare logs, dietitian content and pre-visit summaries. For active clinical work, those vertical apps go deeper.
Where tadoy shines is the daily read — a quiet entry alongside everything else you logged that day, a trend view across the month, and the ability to read digestion patterns next to food, cycle and stress without switching apps.
How tadoy compares to dedicated digestion apps
- Cara Care — the IBS/IBD specialist with clinical content, dietitian programs and a structured flare workflow. The right answer when digestion is the centre of care. tadoy is the lighter daily log that pairs alongside.
- Bowelle — a simple bowel-movement tracker with Bristol scale and food correlation. Similar shape to tadoy's module; the difference is the bundle (food, cycle, mood, journal all on the same page).
- mySymptoms — food-allergen-and-symptom correlator with a deeper food database. Useful for elimination-diet work.
- Apple Health — Apple's symptom logging covers some digestion entries (constipation, diarrhea, abdominal cramps) but not the Bristol scale or detailed bowel-movement counting. tadoy writes Apple Health symptom entries where they exist.
Why "bathroom" rather than something clinical
We call this module "bathroom" inside the app because that's the word people actually use. Clinical names ("bowel log", "GI tracking") sound like a referral form. The point of the module is to be easy to open, easy to log, and easy to ignore — editorial in tone, not medicalised. The Bristol stool scale and the medical terminology are inside the entry, where they belong, not on the tab.
Privacy
Of all the modules in tadoy, this is the one where on-device storage matters most. Bathroom entries live on your device. They aren't synced to our servers, shared with advertisers or insurers, or used to train any model. There is no server copy to leak, subpoena, or quietly share. Full detail on the privacy page.

Common questions about the bathroom module
- Why would I track this?
- Usually because something's off — IBS, IBD, food sensitivities, a recent change in medication — and the daily log helps you spot patterns or bring evidence to a doctor.
- What can I log?
- Bowel movements with Bristol scale (1–7), urgency, blood, mucus, pain. Urination optional.
- Is it appropriate for IBS or IBD?
- Useful as a daily log. Not a clinical workflow tool — for that, look at Cara Care or talk to a gastroenterologist.
- Can I hide the module entirely?
- Yes. It's off by default. Turn it on if you want it; switch it off to remove the surface.
- Is the data private?
- On-device only. No server copy, no sharing, no training.
