57 Questions to Ask Your Gastroenterologist

These aren't generic questions. They're the same data-driven questions Flarity automatically generates based on YOUR health patterns.

🔥 During or After a Flare

Multiple Recent Flares

If you've had 2+ flares in the past 60 days despite taking medications:

I've had [X] flares in [Y] days despite [Z]% medication adherence. Should we discuss whether my current therapy is achieving adequate control?

💡

Flarity detects this automatically by tracking flare frequency against medication adherence.

Would it make sense to check drug levels or antibodies?

At what point do we consider switching therapies?

Severe Flare on a Biologic

If you had a bad flare while actively taking Humira, Remicade, Stelara, Entyvio, Skyrizi, or Rinvoq:

My severe flare happened while on [biologic]. Could timing relative to doses matter?

💡

Flarity generates this when it detects peak risk during active biologic therapy.

Should we check trough levels?

Is this secondary loss of response?

Blood in Stool

I had blood in stool on [date]. Should we check fecal calprotectin?

💡

Flarity flags this when you log blood in symptom check-ins.

Do I need a scope to assess mucosal healing?

How do I know if bleeding is from inflammation versus hemorrhoids?

Frequent Urgency

I've had urgency in [X] separate flares. Are there medications that could help?

💡

Flarity tracks urgency across flares and generates this when it appears repeatedly.

Could pelvic floor therapy help?

Is urgency a sign my disease isn't fully controlled?

📊 About Your Health Trends

Sleep Below Target

My average sleep is [X] hours. Is poor sleep making my IBD worse, or is IBD disrupting my sleep?

💡

Flarity generates this when average sleep drops below 6.5 hours.

Could my medications be affecting my sleep?

Activity Dropped

My activity dropped [X]% recently. Is this concerning during recovery?

💡

Flarity generates this when steps drop >30% from baseline.

What level of activity is safe for me?

HRV Dropped (Apple Watch users)

My HRV dropped [X]% but I feel okay. Could this indicate subclinical inflammation?

💡

Flarity generates this when HRV drops >15% while in clinical remission.

Should we check calprotectin even without symptoms?

Resting Heart Rate Elevated

My resting heart rate is up [X]% from baseline. Is this IBD-related?

💡

Flarity generates this when RHR rises >12% above baseline.

Should we check inflammatory markers?

💊 About Your Medications

Multiple Biologics Tried

I've tried [previous meds] before and am now on [current med]. Given recent flares, are there other options?

💡

Flarity generates this when it detects multiple biologics in history alongside recent flares.

What about combination therapy?

Are there newer medications in trials?

Adherence Questions

I sometimes miss doses. How much does this affect outcomes?

Is there a better time of day to take my medications?

What should I do if I miss a dose?

📅 Monitoring & Follow-Up

Surgery Anniversary

At 6 months:

How am I doing compared to typical recovery?

💡

Flarity generates these based on your surgery dates.

Are there tests I should have?

At 1 year:

Are there surveillance tests I should schedule?

What are signs of recurrence?

Long Time Since Last Score

My last HBI/SCCAI was [X] days ago. Should I log more frequently?

💡

Flarity generates this when your last clinical score is >21 days old.

How often should I track symptoms during remission?

✨ If You're Doing Well

Extended Remission

I've been in remission for [X] days. What's the best way to maintain this?

💡

🚨 Emergency Questions

If you're unsure whether to go to the ER:

Generic vs. Personalized

Generic Question Flarity's Auto-Generated Version
"How is my treatment going?" "I've had 3 flares in 45 days despite 92% Skyrizi adherence. Should we check drug levels?"
"Am I sleeping enough?" "My average sleep is 5.4 hours. Is this affecting my IBD?"
"Is my medication working?" "My HRV dropped 18% but I feel okay. Could this indicate subclinical inflammation?"
