I use Dailyburn for food and exercise logging (altho not 100% consistent). Is there a good free online or download food journal software that you all use? I will not, ever, ever maintain a handwritten anything. not going to happen. I know me too well.

The dailyburn is a great system, but I am looking for maybe something that you can use to keep track of possible allergens/intolerances.It would be great if you had something that you could record food and it knew allergens in it. You also tracked how you felt and could then correlate the two. That would be so much better than "Well, i had pizza last night and today I was nauseaus. I think that happened last time too..."

I am searching for something like this too. I found an app I might buy for iPhone for $2.99 called Food Allergy Detective. It has good reviews although not a great number of them yet. I think it was 9 or 10. Since almost everything I eat is at home, I'd be interested in a computer based one too. I look forward to seeing what anyone else recommends.

Yes, that's the one I was talking about. The main reason I haven't gotten it yet is that you can not enter specific times for foods or symptoms. It relies on the user to be able to do that at the time they eat or have a problem. If I get a stomachache at 3:00am, I don't want to have to go put it in my phone, but if I wait until the next morning, that would throw the data off. Same with entering food. If I eat a quick snack while doing something else and don't click that into the app until later when I have time, that data won't correctly correlate with symptoms. I have suggested the time addition on the app contact us link. Hopefully, someday it will have those capabilities.

I have been conversing with the app maker via e-amil this afternoon and the Food Allergy Detective app allows users to change the default/current time/date when entering foods or symptoms, so I am going to buy it. It is available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

So excited to get a handle on what's bothering my system. Before I was diagnosed, I seemed to be able to eat almost anything. Since going gluten-free, I have had to remove dairy, soy, corn, broccoli, onion, vinegar and some others, but I only feel better for a while and then something else begins to bother me. I have big hopes for this app to help me track down the trends in symptoms.

The app is designed for simplicity, but you can alter it to be a little more precise by adding, editing or deleting foods or symptoms. I took wheat off and added things like rice, potato, xanthan gum and guar gum. I am already soy-free, but sometimes eat something with soy lecithan, so I changed soy by adding lecithan. I am already MSG-free, so took that off, etc. Then I added to the symptoms list to make it reflect mine. Any new food or symptom later can be added, then tracked. I'm looking forward to using this app.

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time
