Doctor Report
One page from your own log, in your own words: the problem, what you did, and what it settled. One tap to share.
The member tools
Everything you write down lives in one place
Every tool fills itself in from your log. You write only what only you can: your number, your own words, and your next test.
A sample, and it's mine
My own Doctor Report
This is the one page I take to my doctor, filled in from my own record. Yours fills itself in from your log, and it's the page you hand to your family or your doctor. One case, mine. Yours won't look like it.
This is what my gut needed. Guts differ. Find what your gut can take. If you've ever had a blockage or bowel surgery, ask your doctor first.

How often
From my early twenties, a flare about every six months, hours after eating, and pain most days for the better part of twenty years. Three or four stays in intensive care along the way; the worst was five days. Now: no true flare since 2020, and not once back in the ICU for my stomach since. Occasional days of discomfort, and I always know what caused them.
How bad
Six or seven out of ten, most days, for the better part of twenty years. A good stretch was a four. Now most days a zero, a one, a two, sometimes a three. Some days higher, and when it is, I know why, nearly every time.
Both numbers come from memory, not a daily log.
When
For the better part of twenty years, most days went the same way: I'd eat, and a few hours later I'd be on the floor. Alcohol I pay for at least two days after, if not more.
What the re-tests proved
Skin off works: it is the single rule that works best. Fruit and vegetables with the skin and seeds off, cooked really well, are safe in moderation. Tomatoes are borderline: tolerable peeled and de-seeded, but the acid still makes them a food to avoid. Alcohol costs at least two days after, if not more.
Re-tested by feel over twenty years, not on a written log: cut a food, feel better, bring it back, feel it or not. The course teaches the written version I wish I'd had.
What I take
10,000 steps a day, which does more than any supplement. Gastrex and Okra Pepsin E3, Standard Process supplements. The coating medication and the spasm medication, right away, when a flare starts. A short steroid course from my doctor, only in a flare, never long term.
For my doctor, not instead of one.
