Looking for symptom tracker w/ food log

Hello!

I have been looking EVERYWHERE online for an IBS symptom tracker that has a food log (doesn’t have to be same page or anything).

I just started the long journey of figuring out my hot girl tummy issues and want to see if there’s any correlation between foods I eat and my tummy troubles. Any ideas on how that could look???

I need one too. Right now I try to record what I’m eating but I haven’t been consistent with symptoms because I don’t have my planner with me at the time. I need a tracker

Yeah I hear you! I was only tracking tummy troubles for December and I stuck with it for only 2 weeks LOL. It was easiest at work because I would write it down immediately afterwards but at home not so much.

I would set up a food log with food and time eaten over 3/4 the width of the page, then leave a 1/4 column to record any GI issues and time they occurred.

I like this idea, thank you! Do you think that would work best for daily, weekly, or monthly?

I’d go weekly, assuming 3 meals and a snack or two, that’s easily 5 lines in an A5.

I really appreciate this thank you! I think I was trying too hard to make it monthly so I didn’t have to spend as much time but I think that may be a little unrealistic haha
