IBS food and symptom diary
Bring a clearer record to your next appointment. Log food, symptoms, and context without assigning blame to a single meal.
How this tool works
Record the date and time, what you ate, any symptoms, and useful context such as sleep, stress, medication changes, or bowel movements. Include symptom-free entries too. Export the record to discuss patterns with a professional.A worked example
“Lunch at 12:30, lentil soup and bread. Mild bloating at 15:00. Poor sleep the night before.” Separating the meal time from symptom onset in your notes makes the record more useful.Before you use the result
This diary does not diagnose IBS, identify an allergy, or prove a food caused symptoms. Avoid starting a restrictive diet from the diary alone. Blood in stools, unexplained weight loss, or severe or persistent pain needs medical assessment.Will this tell me which food is a trigger?
No. Foods, portions, stress, medications, and symptom timing can overlap. The diary supports a conversation rather than diagnosing a cause.Where are my entries stored?
Entries remain in this page unless you explicitly save them on this device or download a copy. They are not sent to Alma as diary submissions. Avoid storing personal notes on a shared browser.Sources
