I wasn't a doctor. I was a patient.
This app didn't start as a business idea. It started because I was desperate to eat a meal without pain.
My real report. Personal details blurred.
-
๐ฅThe beginning
It started as "just acidity"
Bloated, some acidity, almost every day - for 4-5 years. It always passed in 20-30 minutes, so I ignored it and moved on.
-
๐Getting worse
Then it became GERD
Then one day it started hurting - and didn't stop. I took pain relief and carried on, but the pain kept coming back after every meal, for days.
-
๐งชThe dead ends
Doctors, tests, no answers
I took the medicines, ran blood tests, had an ultrasound. Nothing showed a cause and nothing fixed it - only temporary relief, then the pain again.
-
๐ฌThe diagnosis
The endoscopy showed the damage
The test found a problem in my esophagus and the upper part of my stomach โ a severe mucosal break right where the two connect. Years of acid had left its mark.
-
๐ฅDoctor's orders
"Take this medicine โ and eat slowly"
The doctor put me on acid-suppressing medicine to let the lining heal, and a food list: eat oats, bananas, rice, green vegetables; avoid fried, spicy, citrus, coffee and late-night meals. The medicine and the food list I could follow. But eating slowly? Impossible โ and that was the part that mattered most.
-
๐กThe turning point
So I built my own fix
I'm a developer. So I built an app for myself โ one that helps me eat slowly, chew properly, and know exactly what to eat and what to avoid.
-
๐ฟToday
2โ3 months later, I was a different eater
The medicine healed the lining; the new habits kept it healed. Today I have no acidity problem at all. Now I want everyone who's suffering to have the same freedom.
I built this app to fix my own stomach โ and it worked. As a developer, I want everyone who's suffering to use it and make their stomach acidity-free.
