Software to track food & symptoms

micknMember

Several years ago I wrote software that would allow people to make note of the foods they eat and keep track of their symptoms, to help them figure out what food caused what problems. This was 8 years ago I think. I don't know if the software works on today's operating systems. But, I have thought in the past about making an iphone or android version. There may already be such an app, but I don't think so. I'm wondering whether or not people would be interested in such a thing. Let me know if it's something you think you would like. Thanks

I would say go for it, it couldnt hurt and if its a hit you could place an ad or two in it and generate some revenue. I used to use GI Monitor for android, that offered alot inlcuding access to a forum where people would talk about issues they are going through in the GI area.

I would love an app that isn't just for pouch issues and food. If it were more general to encompass any food reactions as they relate to any condition, that would be great.

Idk how tech savy you are but maybe u could create a way for the app to be able to recognize and red flag when u have the same symptoms that also had the same food logged.

I tried one such app for the ipad, and it was not useful. I think the designer wrote it based on HIS particular issues. Don't remember the name of it. I deleted it after a few days.

My suggestion would be to add a graphing element so you can see the results in pain of eating a certain food or taking a certain med. If every time you eat broccoli, it is followed by painful gas 3 hours later, you might not detect the connection but with a graph that combines pain, frequency, food, meds, etc..... THAT would be a useful tool!

There are two that I easily found on the App Store:
GI Monitor and MyGiTrack.

One of my Team Challenge buddies is really active on GI Monitor.

Check them out!!!
