Bowel Movement tracker and widget

[egncindoe]

I would love to see a bowel movement section on the phone app dashboard. The reason being is that pooping is very important and a lot can be determined by the bowel movements you have and how many you have daily, if you had been bunged up you can see that more fiber is needed in your diet and so on. Also having an automatic goal for the health amount of movments woukd motivate people to eat a more fiber Ritch diet

Hi @Risubio, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about tracking bowel movement on the Fitbit app. I've moved it into a similar request. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. Click on the thumbs-up to show your support.

Thank you again for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Forums.

I’m also looking forward to this bowel movement tracker app one day. Currently I use the data for sleep to show the doctor my sleep patterns. I was thinking it would be good to also have data such as our bowel movements data for our family doctor. Apple Watch has this feature but I prefer to keep all data under one app and most of my stuff are on Fitbit. Could Fitbit have add more apps for us to track our health? Other things like bloating, constipation, diahorrea , IBS, indigestion, acid reflux etc. Hope you could consider it. Thanks.

Bowel movements are becoming more important during better health. Many people suffer from irritable bowel symptoms, and many other diseases that affect the digestive system. Different lifestyles choices can be monitored if proper logs are done.

There is an app called “Bowelle” that only links to Apple Health. If Fitbit could allow the integration of this data to the Bowelle app or even if Fitbit would create their own App, this would allow for possible early detection by prompting individuals to see GI specialists as GI (stomach, pancreas, large bowel, rectum etc) are now leading causes of cancers in the younger populations. It is not just “an old persons cancer/disease any more.” Fitbit’s mission is “To empower and inspire you to live a healthier, more active life. We design products and experiences that fit seamlessly into your life so you can achieve your health and fitness goals, whatever they may be.”

Can this get reviewed/considered again? This would be so helpful! Detailed bowel movement tracker: when, types, amount, notes, etc. please!

sync with another bowel tracking app could possibly work too (continued from my previous comment)

I would really like to see this added to fitbit. I'd really like to be able to track all my health stuff in 1 place

This is a fab idea!! I have ibs-c and it can sometimes be days before I realise I haven't gone. A way to track it on my Fitbit dashboard would be great!

A bowel movement tracker in the Fitbit app would be very useful. Many people struggle with constipation, diarrhea, or having enough bowel movements throughout the day. The feature would track whether there was a bowel movement, the time of day it occurred, color, consistency (i.e. whether it was hard, soft, liquid, etc.).

I would actually use this a lot digestive health affects everything and it is hard to track patterns otherwise.
Seems like a simple add that could be really helpful for people managing gut or medication issues.

I don’t think I would have thought of it, but it seems like a good idea.  We know now that our gut health affects our health more globally.  Maybe the Victorian obsession with bowel movements had some validity after all!
