Log meals, pain and bowel movements, and see what repeats before a bad day. Each food is weighed from your diverticulitis angle, with the reason and the source when there is one.
The traffic light weighs a food from your condition, not “in general”. Each rating comes with its reason and, when there is one, its source. It informs, it does not forbid: you decide.
The catalogue tells apart the preparations of the same food (raw, boiled, fried, baked…). A dry-heat cooking section also asks you to log how it sits with you, because that is the only way to know what happens to you.
Pick the shape from the seven Bristol types and, if you like, the colour, signs such as blood, mucus, pain, straining or urgency, and a note. It is saved with its time and the history builds itself.
Automatic alerts can remind you, for example, that you have gone three days without logging a bowel movement. You adjust how often you want them.
If a meal shows up before pain, Cognia saves the match and, if it repeats, moves it up a level and shows how many times. It is a pattern to discuss with your doctor, not a proven cause.
Diverticulitis has no alarm questions of its own in Cognia. There are level-based alerts, with the NHS page behind them, for abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, diarrhoea or blood in the stool, depending on your answers.
When you log pain you can turn on follow-up: Cognia asks again every few hours you choose and, when it passes, stores how long it lasted.
With Premium, a day-by-day PDF report, with or without bowel movements. Bowel movements are private data: you decide whether they go in the report.
