How Primrose & Eve tracks bloating
Primrose & Eve lets you log bloating in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

What is bloating in perimenopause?
An uncomfortably full, puffy, or gassy feeling that does not always match what you ate. Tied to hormone-driven changes in gut motility and fluid balance across the transition.
Is bloating a recognized perimenopause symptom?
Yes. Bloating is one of 34 named symptoms in the perimenopause transition. It is documented by Mayo Clinic.
How can I track bloating during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log bloating in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time. Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
