Frequently Asked Questions
These answers cover the public website and the IC Buddy symptom diary. For account-specific help, contact support without sending sensitive medical details by email.
Is IC Buddy medical advice?
No. IC Buddy is an organizational and educational tool. Diagnosis and treatment decisions belong with qualified healthcare professionals who know your history.
Do I need an IC diagnosis to use it?
No. People may use a symptom diary while discussing persistent bladder symptoms with a clinician. The app cannot determine whether symptoms come from IC, infection, stones, pelvic-floor dysfunction, another condition, or several factors.
Does a food log prove a trigger?
No. A log can show associations. Repeat observations, careful reintroduction, overall nutrition, and clinical guidance matter more than one entry.
How much does it cost?
IC Buddy Basic is free. Eligible users may receive a 7-day Premium trial, followed by the displayed monthly price unless canceled before the trial ends. Review the membership page for complete platform-specific details.
How do I get help or delete an account?
