Keep a simple food and symptom log

“I want to see if what I eat lines up with how I feel.”

Text, voice or photo your meals and symptoms to an AI that logs them in a spreadsheet. Patterns are something to bring to your doctor, not a diagnosis.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Pick where the log lives (a spreadsheet works) and the columns: date, time, food, symptom, severity 1–5.
Each day, send quick notes; ask the AI to add them as rows without guessing missing details.
After 2–4 weeks, ask for a plain summary of possible patterns to discuss with your doctor.

Copy this prompt

Add these notes to my food and symptom log as rows (date, time, food, symptom, severity 1–5): [notes]. Leave blanks rather than guessing. After the rows, list any patterns you notice over the log so far, labeled 'possible, not proven'. Don't diagnose or recommend treatments. Stop there.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
