Parden the intentional pun. lol a bm tracker...

That way people can track how often and what kind and what they notice, etc...(check for warning signs of diseases and cancers, etc)  Certainly a good tracker to be set "myself only" lol.  I'm sure there are quite a few peole who would use that tracker/ticker, right? Come on I know you're out there, lol. :P

I think it would be more fitting combined in the food tracker than a stand alone.

Maybe something basic and as non disgusting as possible like: constipation, diarrhea, IBS, or normal

Or maybe just have IBS/constipation/diarrhea/normal as a check feature... I don't know.

If we were to launch a bowel movement tracker, what exactly would you like to track?

[MJIthewriter]

I'd like to keep that as a "me only"  but it would be nice, because I'm trying to figure out exactly what is causing occasional IBS like symptoms. What's frustrating is it isn't consistant and not even with the same food...

I think that adding a "bowel movement" line to food tracker may not be a bad idea -- people can select to turn it on if they want.

[MJIthewriter]

Or maybe it could be added as part of the food tracker. That way people can see if certain foods trigger diarrhea or constipation, cramping, etc...

A bowel movement tracker is certainly an interesting idea, but it might not be a very popular tracker. If there are other members interested in this, please leave a comment here. Thanks for the suggestion!
