Use cases
Sayved works as an IBS food diary: photograph or describe each meal, say how your gut feels, and both are stored with their times. You can ask your own log questions later or print a dated report for your doctor or dietitian.
Someone is told to keep a food and symptom diary for the next appointment. They start with a notebook, write down breakfast and a vague “stomach OK”, and by Thursday the page is half empty. Lunch was eaten at a desk, dinner was somebody else’s recipe, and the evening cramps were noted at midnight as “bad night”.
When the gastroenterologist or dietitian opens the notebook, there are four days of partial notes where they wanted four weeks. It is not a lack of discipline. A diary that asks for effort at every meal and every symptom is a diary that loses.
An IBS food diary only works if it is faster than forgetting. That is the job Sayved is designed for.
Gut symptoms and meals sit on different clocks. The thing you ate at noon shows up as a feeling at three, or at nine, or the next morning. Reconstructing that from memory a week later produces a tidy story rather than a record.
Capturing each side as it happens fixes the order. A photo of the plate takes a few seconds and keeps what was actually on it. A sentence about how your stomach feels takes five more. The two are stored as separate, dated entries, so “what did I eat before that?” is a question about real rows rather than hazy recall.
Entries that mention the condition by name are linked to it. Past entries are gathered up when you create it.
Natural sentences are enough. Some real-sounding examples:
One sentence can create several entries at once: the meal, the drink, the symptom. For ratings, the app uses one 0–10 scale where the number is how much of the named thing there is. Pain 10 is the worst pain. If you say “mild”, the app turns the word into a number, tells you it did, and lets you change it.
The Ask tab answers questions about your own log in plain language. It answers when you ask, never on its own, and it never says that one food causes a symptom. After a few weeks, questions such as these are useful:
These return rows from your log, laid side by side. Whether any link between them is real is a conversation for a clinician. With few entries, two things landing on the same day can easily be coincidence, and the answer carries a caveat when evidence is thin. Please do not cut out a food group because of a coincidence in a short log; discuss changes with a doctor or dietitian first. Our page on the food intolerance diary covers a related setup.
Go to Settings → Doctor report. Pick the person, a period (one month, three months, six months, a year, or everything) and the IBS condition from the list. Keep “Include health, medication and mood” switched on if your clinician needs symptoms and medication in the same document.
You get a readable, day-by-day report that shows meals and symptoms in order, rather than a spreadsheet. It can be printed, saved as a PDF or emailed. Estimates keep their ranges and nothing in it is summarised or graded. For a more general checklist of what to bring, read about what to tell your doctor.
Sayved is a personal record, not a medical device. It does not tell you what is behind your symptoms, rule anything in or out, or suggest a diet. Blood in stool, unexplained weight changes, severe pain or anything that worries you are reasons to contact a doctor now, not to log and wait.
Reading voice and photos, and Ask, are part of Sayved Pro: 14 days free, then $2.99 per month. Everything you have already logged stays readable, searchable and exportable afterwards at no cost. See the food diary and symptom diary pages for more on how each type is stored.
“Lunch was a bowl of lentil soup with sourdough, and about an hour later I was bloated, pain around a 4”
Illustrative. Calorie figures are estimates with a range; for this use you may never need to look at them.
No. It never volunteers patterns or causes. You can ask a question about your own entries, and it answers from what you logged, with a note when the evidence is thin.
No. The meal is stored with the food, and the calorie estimate is just one field. Many people using this as a symptom diary ignore it entirely.
Yes, by voice or typing, in your own words. It is stored as a symptom entry. Sayved does not grade it.
Yes. Create a Doctor report for the period and send or print it, or export the whole log as a CSV file.
Name a long-term condition once and Sayved gathers every meal, dose, symptom and rating under it, ready for your doctor. You name it, never the app.
A food diary app where you snap a plate or say what you ate. Sayved saves the meal with a calorie and macro range, and you can edit any number.
A symptom diary app where you say what you feel and Sayved writes it down with a 0–10 rating and the date. A calm record to bring to your doctor.
An AI health diary you can ask. Write a question in plain language and Sayved answers only from your own entries, sending just the rows it needs.
Make a health report for your doctor from your own log: pick the person, the condition and the period, and share a dated, printable document in a minute.
Free for 14 days, then $2.99 a month. Everything you've logged stays yours, readable and free, forever.
