Nerva reviews

Update: June 2026 Flares started up again early this year, I hadn’t used the app for a while but picked it up again in late Mar 2026. After just a few sessions my flare eased. I completed the program from start to finish in mid May and have been using 3-4 x week since. I’ve had only one flare during that time around week 4 that passed after 2 days and since then feeling very good with no substantial symptoms. I still avoid my high FODMAP trigger foods mist of the time, but don’t have to be as strict. When I start to feel discomfort coming on it tends to fade quickly and doesn’t escalate as it used to. This has worked better than anything else I’ve tried. ————- I first tried the Nerva app in March of 2024 when I was experiencing an IBS flare worse than I had in many years. The flare was undoubtedly caused by the stress of an in process international move where I was to start a new job. I saw an ad for the app and was skeptical, then read that Monash University was behind it and decided to give it a try. I didn’t expect much, but I saw a significant symptom production within the first week which I know it’s not common. But it did continue through the program and after. I stopped for the last few months and when another flare started. I went back to the program and again I’m experiencing a significant reduction of symptoms. I’ve been following a modified Low FODMAP diet, which also helps to an extent, but finding a more lasting effect and consistency with this program.

I was a bit skeptical at first in honesty. But I was so desperate willing to try anything. I was so bad with my stomach to the point where I was hospitalised a lot. And I have a lot of on going problems but honestly having stomach problems is unbearable. What I recommend to anyone trying this, is be open, read the information they give you. You must commit you must do it everyday. Make it a routine if you missed it in that time make it up and find time at some point in the day. I got to a really good stage but I fell really ill recently and was given antibiotics which really messed with my stomach lining. And then everything was triggering me so I’m back everyday now. I do recommend doing a blood test to find your allergies to see if there’s anything you can reduce even if you’re a bit allergic to it makes you more aware. I also think this app helps encourage you to be healthier and kinder to yourself. I know it feels expensive but omg so are pro and pre biotics, degas tablets, stomach spasm tablets (hyoscine butylbromide) herbal things, and not to mention any tablets your gp prescribes that til this day I don’t even know if they work do they do anything? I honestly think it’s worth it. I have taken a year to write this review because I wanted to make sure that if there was someone out there in the same position that I’m in then they get a good honest review. The healthy journey you’re on is hard, that’s what’s led you to my review and I just want you that this journey you’re on, you’re not alone and that you’re incredible for trying things to help yourself. That’s not easy, so firstly take a bow. And I hope that your pain eases, and so does your mind. You got this. You can find me if you need a chat via my username online 🤎 I’m not perfect and I have other health things to worry about but this is such a great tool to have in my life. Ps. If the app glitches and the sound isn’t coming on, you have to close and open the app if it still doesn’t work then your phone on and off it’s annoying but I think it’s to do with the phone and bother app hope that helps anyone I had to learn lol
