B.ENERGY is a mobile app designed by health professionals. It is designed for individuals with gut health issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation, diarrhoea, bloating or food intolerances.
B.ENERGY provides users with a scientific methodology to track their bowel movements, better understand their bodies and feel in control of their condition, enhancing their quality of life and boosting their confidence in their day-to-day decisions.
The app uses the Bristol scale. The data entered can be easily downloaded from the app, making the sharing of information and communication with health professionals very straight-forward. The feature can also help support the diagnosis and follow-up process.
Alongside the tracking of bowel movements, B.ENERGY helps the user monitor her daily food and exercise habits so she can identify how they contribute and influence her wellbeing.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT B.ENERGY
Why is B.ENERGY app free?
We believe that everybody has a right to better gut health, and for that reason, we have made the tracking features in B.ENERGY free for everyone to use. For users who want an enhanced product, we also offer the option to access exclusive content and features through micropayments.
What can I access via micropayments in B.ENERGY?
Micropayments give access to advanced graphics in a downloadable format. They also include the Bits, which are information pills designed to enhance gut health. Finally, micropayments open the Journey, composed of a series of videos and audios with exclusive content created by health professionals and based on the latest scientific research into gut health. The Journey is designed to help the user learn about healthy habits, try different alternatives and pick the ones that work best for her.
¿Does B.ENERGY only focus on gut health?
Not quite. B.ENERGY has a holistic approach. Gut issues can rarely be isolated from the rest of the body, and that’s why the app looks at the 6 pillars of gut health: food, exercise, sleep, digestion, mind and environment.
Can I download the data I have entered into the B.ENERGY app?
Yes, you can download everything you have entered in PDF format. To do so, you will need to make a one-off micropayment to unblock the option.
I have Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or celiac disease. Is B.ENERGY for me?
B.ENERGY can help you monitor your bowel movements and share the data with your doctor.
Does B.ENERGY provide personalised feedback?
The app will give you feedback on your bowel movements, and if it deems it necessary, it will advise you to seek the advice of a doctor.
Is B.ENERGY compatible with third-party devices such as Fitbit or Apple Watch, or apps such as MyFitnessPal or WeightWatchers, for the purposes of exercise and diet data acquisition?

Does B.ENERGY track symptoms or pain levels?
The current version of B.ENERGY does not include such features, but we may consider it for future updates if users may find it useful. Please get in touch (info@benergyapp.com) to tell us what you think, we will be delighted to listen to you.
