You don't have to
manage IBD alone.
Tandem is the private companion built for one condition, done right — matched peer circles, structured flare diaries, and an AI companion that turns your week into a summary your gastroenterologist can actually use.
Your week
Flare diary
“Symptoms peaked mid-week, likely tied to diet. Blood noted once. Bring up medication timing and fatigue at your next visit.”
Send to my appointment →The wedge
Generic health forums treat every symptom the same. IBD isn't generic — so we didn't build generic.
Reddit and Facebook groups are noisy and unstructured. PatientsLikeMe is broad and monetizes your data. Ada answers a question and leaves. Tandem goes deep on Crohn's and colitis: the tracking, the vocabulary, and the people who actually get it — turning scattered days into signal you and your clinician can act on.
How it works
Three steps from overwhelmed to in control
Track in seconds
Log flares, stools, food, energy, and meds with an IBD-specific diary — Bristol scale and trigger tags built in, not bolted on.
Find your circle
Get matched to a small, moderated peer circle by condition, subtype, and treatment stage — not dropped into a 200k-member free-for-all.
Walk in prepared
Your AI companion turns weeks of notes into a clear, clinician-ready summary, so 15-minute appointments finally count.
Why Tandem
What the free giants leave open
Peer support is everywhere. Peer support that's structured, matched, private, and built for IBD is not.

Matched peer circles
Small circles matched by subtype (Crohn's vs UC), disease stage, and treatment path. Real understanding, not a firehose of strangers.
Tracking
Advanced symptom diary
Bristol scale, blood, urgency, pain maps, food and medication logs — plus trigger correlations that surface patterns you'd otherwise miss.
AI companion
Appointment summaries
Weeks of scattered notes become one calm, structured summary for your gastroenterologist — with the questions worth asking, ready to send.
Privacy
Private & ad-free
Your health story is yours. No ads, no data brokers, no selling insights to pharma. Premium is fully ad-free by design.

Stories
Written by the community, for the community
Illustrative stories from the kind of members Tandem is built for.
“I used to walk into appointments blanking on everything. Now I hand my GI a one-page summary and we actually talk about my care.”
“My circle is eight people who get it. No judgement, no strangers arguing — just honesty when I'm scared about a new biologic.”
“The diary caught that dairy was fuelling my flares before I did. That pattern alone was worth the subscription.”
