One of the weirdest parts of IBD: even when I'm not flaring, sometimes I just struggle to eat. Not because I'm worried about triggers. Just stuck. Appetite's low, decision feels too big, easier to skip it.

We're officially live on the App Store! Fathom is now available to help IBD patients navigate daily life with personalized AI support, proactive insights, and comprehensive health tracking. Download the app: fthm.co/ios

Today is #WorldOstomyDay. To everyone living with an ostomy - whether from IBD, cancer, diverticulitis, or any condition that brought you here - you're part of a strong, resilient community. Your story matters.

Introducing our Insights and Explore views. Insights: Your weekly wellness overview. Get a comprehensive view of IBD insights that matter: - Track morning/evening check-in consistency - Discover key patterns from chats - Celebrate your weekly wins - Get prompt suggestions based on your activity

Start and end your day with intention. Fathom's morning and evening check-ins help you reflect on your IBD journey through guided prompts about your symptoms, energy, stress, and overall day.

Your IBD journey is uniquely yours. That's why we built Fathom's Health Profile to understand your specific needs instead of providing the same generic suggestions for everyone.

When you're managing IBD, even drinking water can feel like work. But small sips? They’re powerful and they add up. Sip when you can. You’re doing great. 💚 #IBD #GentleReminders #Hydration

Good morning, IBD warriors. May today bring small moments of relief, strength, and peace. You’re not alone. 💚 #IBD #MentalHealth #IBDStrong

Your body's been through clinical trials, food experiments, and emotional marathons. That's strength. 💚 #IBD #Crohns #Colitis

Every IBD patient I know has felt this: you're managing a complex condition with scattered tools, conflicting advice, and no central place to make sense of it all. What's the biggest gap in your current IBD management tools? 👇 #BuildingFathom #IBDTech #HealthTech

The IBD community taught me something doctors couldn't: How to live well between appointments. Medical care treats the disease. Community care supports the human. Both are essential. Neither is enough alone. Find your people. Whether that's online groups or one good friend who really gets it. 💚

IBD myths that need to die: Myth: "It's just stress" Reality: Stress can trigger symptoms, but IBD is an autoimmune condition. You didn't think yourself sick. Myth: "You look fine" Reality: 90% of IBD happens internally. Inflammation doesn't always show on the outside.

Learning to advocate for your health isn't selfish, it's survival. You know your body better than anyone 💚 Your voice matters in your care. Your health is worth fighting for. #SelfAdvocacy #IBDWarrior #PatientEmpowerment

Some days "I'm tired" means I need a nap. Other days it means my body is fighting a war I can't see. Both are valid 💚 #IBDFatigue #InvisibleIllness #ChronicIllnessLife
