This free printable food allergy diary chart is a great way to start in tracking whether or not certain foods may be making you sick. It’s great if you are following a gluten free diet because it can really help you pinpoint if you really may or may not be avoiding gluten, since it hides in many different foods. It’s also useful even for those who are not sure whether they have allergies or not. Many people who go gluten free soon notice other foods start making them sick as well, so it can also help you pinpoint any other possible culprits in your diet.
This is also a great thing to do and share with your doctor, because more often than not doctors do not want to test you for food intolerances and allergies, nor do they really believe it when you say eating certain things might be making you sick. Having a chart you can print out and record every single thing you eat is a great way to make it clear to your doctor that something may be going on with you.
To get started, you will first want to Download The Chart Here and print it out.
The nice thing about this chart is you can start it on any day – today, tomorrow, etc.
Write down every single thing you eat during the morning, afternoon, and evening. Don’t forget to also list beverages, since many people have problems with allergies to certain drinks, corn syrup, dyes, and artificial flavorings.
Each part of the day also has a section for symptoms, where you can write things such as tingling, rash, runny nose, cough, stomach cramping, etc. You can also use the back of the page to make any notes if you need more space to write.
After a week of writing everything down, take a look and see if you notice anything new or different about your diet. Are there any patterns you can observe, such as feeling sick after drinking milk for example?
Once you have completed week one, you may want to continue using this chart until you are absolutely positive of which foods are making you and not making you sick. Once you have done this for several weeks, you will be well equipped to talk with your doctors about the patterns and sensitivities you’ve noticed and whether or not additional food allergy testing should be done.
