mySymptoms Food Diary

After trying this a couple of times, I’ve decided the interface is too difficult to negotiate. Barcode scanner won’t find half the foods, makes pen and paper seem like a better solution.

I have had this app for yeaaaars and it helped with me documenting autoimmune issues for validity for docs when being dismissed. When I went for a second option - having all of this logged helped tremendously. The only drawback is I can’t also add photos to the diary - which would be amazing. Just a tip for maybe an update!!! It would be awesome to be able to log this aspect in life.

I didn’t realize that I’d have to input the ingredients of the food I eat, much less the basic nutritional information, for a $6 app - the advertising made it seem like the app database had knowledge about most products sold in American stores so that it would effectively be able to track the impact of different ingredients. So it is significantly less useful to me as what I thought it was when I bought it. Oh well

Used the app to gather info to report to doctor when figuring out that I was gluten intolerant though not officially celiac. Now using to figure out fat levels needed to handle my EPI (pancreatic insufficiency)! Great tool to find hidden allergies too. Someday I might use for finding FODMAPs, appears it should work well. Even tracking medications & pain levels after broke a couple of ribs. Great flexibility—you can add your own symptoms, so possibly applicable to a lot of different

I need to wait for a few months to see how valuable the analysis function is, but after a week of use, I can give a 5 star. I’m able to track everything I need plus add symptoms to my needs. Easy to use! Works consistently after one week.
