One page per day for meals, how they sat, symptoms, bowel movements and medicines, plus a one-page weekly summary to hand your gastroenterologist. Built for Crohn's, ulcerative colitis and IBS.
US Letter, prints fine on A4. No sign-up, no email.
How to use it
Print all eight pages (or download the PDF). One page is one day; the last page is the weekly summary.
Write meals down within an hour or so of eating, and circle how each one sat: fine, meh or nope. Log the fine meals too — they are what stop a food diary blaming whatever you eat most often.
Log symptoms separately, with a time and a severity, even if you can't tell what caused them.
Record each bowel movement's Bristol type (1–7). Blood and urgency go in their own columns because the Bristol scale only describes form.
At the end of the week, fill in the summary page. That is the page to hand your GI or dietitian.
One week shows candidates, not answers. Two to four weeks is usually needed before a pattern means much.
