If you are serious about your food testing you will need to keep a detailed record of everything that you eat and the best way of doing this is through a food diary. A food diary is your record and your evidence of the changes that take place. Make using one an absolute priority. This diary was produced as a result of my own experience with notebooks that soon got into a mess. I wanted something I could check through quickly and find the information I was after. Getting organized was the only way - hence the food diary. An added bonus of this diary is that it will make your food intolerance testing look more professional and also any doctor will find it easier to follow than a homemade notebook. ========================================== HOW TO USE YOUR FOOD DIARY ========================================== Begin by printing the diary on your home printer. ~~~~~~~ STEP 1 ~~~~~~~ Each day complete a page of the main food diary - see example above. I suggest you use the left hand side to note the foods you eat and any medications you may take and the right side to note how you are feeling. The words in capitals (MUESLI, CRISPS, FLAPJACK, HEADACHE PILLS) are all complex products i.e. they contain ore than one ingredient. To spare you the effort of writing out each ingredient, I have included pages for you to use as a Food Index. Use these to list the food, or medication, and all its ingredients - you can then refer back when you need to. The reason for including medications is quite simply that many contain binders, colours and preservatives that may cause a problem. ~~~~~~~ STEP 2 ~~~~~~~ At the end of each week complete the review page for that week. Don't skip this step - it is so easy to think you will remember how you felt etc... but as time passes you will forget. It is a useful exercise as, over time, you will be able to clearly see how you are progressing. ~~~~~~~ STEP 3 ~~~~~~~ As you move through your testing and retesting phases you can begin to complete the final sheets by listing your safe, caution and no foods. These will provide a useful reference guide for you (and others). SAFE foods are the ones you know do not give you any problems. CAUTION foods are the ones that you still need to test (mark these with a T) or ones that know you can eat but only in small quantities. NO foods are the ones you know make you ill and should always be avoided. Over time you may find the lists change, especially between the SAFE and CAUTION foods. ========================================== WHAT’S IN THE FOOD DIARY? ========================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS: Example Instructions Daily Print Page Review Print Page Food Index Print Page Safe Foods 1 Safe Foods 2 No Foods 1 No Foods 2 Caution Foods 1 Caution Foods 2 ========================================== HOW TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FOOD DIARY ========================================== You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the free ebook.
