| The primary graph in IBS Analysis for patients with mild to moderate IBS. This graph is to you as the 'Line Graph with Events and Numerics is to patients with severe IBS .As you fight the battle 'day by day' instead of 'hour by hour' as the patient with severe IBS does, you are not so much interested in tracking your food and medication hour by hour but rather tracking how your DAILY Behavior affects your Symptom Severity Levels. This graph lines up your recorded 'Daily Controls' with your Symptom Severity Levels permitting you to see what in your daily activity, be it exercise, medications, or diet is happening on the same day as your bad (or even good) readings. It is an educational process allowing you to refine your behavior to produce the readings you want. |

using a 'Daily Controls Profile'. see FAQs to learn 'What is a Daily Controls Profile?'

week, the times of day, and your choice of various
Events and Numerical data that you entered along with
the Symptom Severity Level value.
You can further choose to see the "High', 'Low', or
'Averaged' reading for each day instead of 'all' the
readings, as above, or you may view the 'Daily Count' of
entries.
