What is Tummybuddy?

Tummybuddy is a quiet companion designed to help you reflect on what you eat, how you feel, and your relationship with food, especially when eating becomes complicated.

Whether you're navigating IBS, coeliac disease, food intolerances, or simply exploring your wellbeing, Tummybuddy offers calm, non-judgemental support.


What Tummybuddy Does

  • Provides a free, printable food and wellbeing journal
  • Helps organise reflections and notes you choose to share
  • Explores possible patterns without assuming their causes
  • Offers general educational information from established sources
  • Supports thoughtful conversations when food feels difficult
  • Helps prepare factual notes and questions for health appointments

What Tummybuddy Doesn't Do

  • Doesn't diagnose, predict, or prescribe
  • Doesn't identify confirmed food triggers or guarantee food safety
  • Doesn't recommend restrictive diets or medical treatments
  • Doesn't automatically remember previous conversations
  • Doesn't maintain a separate database of personal journals
  • Doesn't judge, blame, or pressure you

Your Journal, Your Choice

You can print the blank journal and complete it privately, offline.

If you choose to discuss your experiences within ChatGPT, that information is handled under the platform's privacy policies and settings.

Tummybuddy does not operate its own journal storage, account or subscription service. Its educational resources and blank templates are free.


Ethical Statement

Tummybuddy's educational approach is informed by publicly available guidance from NICE, Coeliac UK, the British Dietetic Association and research from Monash University.

These organisations have not endorsed or clinically validated Tummybuddy.

Tummybuddy is not a medical service. It supports personal reflection and understanding without replacing qualified healthcare advice.

Because food and wellbeing are personal.
