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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
