Our Mission
Over 1 billion people worldwide live with IBS and digestive issues. Most are told to "manage stress" and "watch what they eat" — without the tools, knowledge, or support to actually do that effectively.
Symbiota was built to bridge that gap. We combine the latest in FODMAP science, gut-brain axis research, AI technology, and clinically validated hypnotherapy into a single, accessible platform that learns your body and guides your journey.
We believe that evidence-based gut health management should be available to everyone — not just those who can afford specialized dietitians and gastroenterologists.
Our Values
Evidence First
Every protocol, recommendation, and educational piece in Symbiota is grounded in peer-reviewed research. We cite our sources and update our content as new evidence emerges.
Safety by Design
Our AI coach is built with safety guardrails — it flags red flag symptoms, never suggests stopping prescribed medication, and recommends professional consultation when appropriate.
Privacy as a Right
Your health data belongs to you. We store data locally on your device by default, offer end-to-end encryption for cloud sync, and never sell personal data to third parties.
Accessibility
Gut health knowledge shouldn't be locked behind expensive consultations. We make FODMAP science, gut-brain research, and self-management tools accessible to everyone.
Built by Force Dijital
Symbiota is created by Force Dijital, a health technology company based in Istanbul, Turkey. Our team combines expertise in mobile development, AI/ML, clinical research, and user experience design.
We work closely with gastroenterologists, FODMAP-trained dietitians, and clinical hypnotherapists to ensure that every feature in Symbiota meets the highest standards of clinical accuracy and safety.
