Food log computer program

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Is there one out there?

If not, what would you like to see in one?

DH and I have been working on one for us to use for DS but were thinking if it is successful, putting it out there for others to use!

Ideas? He has the rough workings going on already (you add a food and it gets added to a check off list for later use, room for BM's, behavior, sleep, different places).

What should I have him add?

After however many years I've done these, I've decided they have to go down to ingredient level and then go on a matrix so you can do real trend analysis.

things I've put on them in the past (I just do spreadsheets, I have 4 different ones if you want to look at any of them)....

nap times
sleep times
number and consistency of BMs
amount of liquid consumed (one of DD2's symptoms)
rashes/eczema
bedwetting
behavior
how many times awake at night
red butt
I'm sure I'll think of more....

But if you could program it to find the trends, that would be COOL! Especially if it could sort like... soy causes red lip and stomach pains, apples causes increased liquid consumption, potatoes cause something else, etc.

Thanks Kathy. DH is making it searchable! I am pretty excited about this! I think it could be pretty helpful to many of us! I know some people prefer pen and paper but I figure this may be a great option for some!
