About FlareCare — The AI-Powered Gut Health App for IBD and IBS
At FlareCare, we're on a mission to empower individuals with gut health conditions to take control of their wellness journey.

Joshua Riggs
Founder & CEO
Fort Worth, Texas
My journey with digestive health challenges began when I was diagnosed with Left-sided Colitis, which eventually progressed to severe Pancolitis. For three grueling years, I experienced the full impact of this devastating condition - three hospitalizations, countless ER visits due to dehydration, and the daily struggle that anyone with gut health issues knows all too well.
I tried everything to manage my symptoms. Each day was a new battle, not just with the physical discomfort, but with the uncertainty and fear that comes with chronic digestive conditions. It wasn't until I found the right treatment approach that I finally began to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
After achieving remission and becoming steroid-free, I made a decision: I wanted to help others who were going through similar struggles with IBD, IBS, and other gut health conditions. I knew firsthand how isolating and overwhelming these conditions can be, and I believed there had to be a better way to track, manage, and understand digestive health.
That's when FlareCare was born. As a father to my amazing 2-year-old son Easton, I'm reminded every day of why this mission is so important. Easton is my 'why' - he shows me the importance of being present, healthy, and able to fully engage in life's precious moments, something everyone deserves regardless of their digestive health challenges.
