Constipation and diarrhea symptoms in Menstrual Health Tracking

[ShariLE]

We need to be able to track the effect of our period on our bowels. Those with endometriosis get constipation and diarrhoea.  If women have these symptoms and haven’t had the operation, they can show their doctor the frequency of symptoms.  Unless you have endo, you have no idea how painful it is.

More choices needs to be added to the Menstrual Health app.
For moods, frisky (or anything that describes high sexual desires or hormonal energy), and calm.

For the "sex" choices: "didn't have sex", "masterbation" (or just title it as 'self pleasure if fitbit is unable to use that word), "high sex drive
Symptoms: diarrhea and constipation

It's been 4 years. This would be such a helpful and crucial adjustment to the app, obviously very much wanted. Any word of it's moving forward?

I want to be able to see this data too but it shouldn't be relegated to menstrual tracking or tied to food tracking either.  If you're sick or have a medical condition that causes problems you should be able to track that data and see how it interacts with other data.

I would like diarrhoea to be on the list of available symptoms in the menstrual health section

I would definitely like to see this as a feature.  My periods are not regular and one of the only ways I can tell if a period is due is when I start getting diarrhoea.   I would very much like to be able to track this symptom on the menstrual health tracker.
