About

Built for the weeks between appointments.

Most people who suspect a food trigger are told to "keep a diary." The advice is sound — a 14-day food & symptom diary is where patterns start to hold up — but paper notes rarely survive contact with real life, and no one can cross-reference two weeks of meals by hand. FoodTrigger AI does that part for you.

Why I built this

Honestly? It started with my mom.

She had her gallbladder taken out, and her stomach never really settled down after that. The worst part wasn't the discomfort, it was the urgency. There were times she just couldn't get to a bathroom fast enough, and that kind of embarrassment sticks with you way longer than the bad afternoon does.

What got me was how little she had to go on. She knew some meals set her off, but she could never point at which one, because it usually hit an hour or three later, long after the plate was in the sink. So every doctor visit started with "I think it might be dairy?" instead of actual notes.

So I built the thing I wish she'd had. Log the meal in a few seconds, say how you feel, and let the app handle the boring part of digging through weeks of entries to spot the ingredients that keep turning up before the rough days. Then show up to the appointment with a printout instead of a guess.

To be straight with you, she hasn't tried it yet. This isn't a before-and-after story, it's just the reason the app exists. If it helps you before it helps her, I'm good with that.

What we believe

Your data stays yours

Logs are private to your account. You can export a clean summary at any time, and you can delete your history whenever you want.

Patterns, not diagnoses

We show you which ingredients repeat in the 1 to 4 hour window before your symptoms spike. That is a lead worth discussing with a professional, not a verdict.

Zero friction to start

The printable 7-day guide and the basic logger work with no signup. Create an account when you want your history saved across devices.

How the pattern engine works

  1. 1. You log a meal. A photo, a short description, and the ingredients you know about.
  2. 2. You rate symptoms. Intensity from 1 to 10, plus optional Bristol scale and lifestyle markers like sleep and stress.
  3. 3. We look backward, not forward. When intensity hits 5 or higher, the engine scans the 1 to 4 hour window before that entry and flags ingredients that also appeared before previous flares.
  4. 4. You take it further. Export the timeline as a clean summary for your doctor, allergist, or dietitian.

What FoodTrigger AI is not

We are not a medical provider and we do not diagnose or treat anything. The content in the Journal is a plain-language summary of published research, with sources listed on every article, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If your symptoms are severe, persistent, or new, please see a doctor.
