The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an app designed for diet education can help patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) learn about healthy eating.
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* Is the app easy to use? * Is the app useful? Researchers will compare the diet app to see if it is better at teaching patients about a healthy diet than the standard information they may receive from their doctor.
Participants will be asked to use the app for one month and answer surveys to see how easy the app is to use and if it leads to healthier eating.
