The UK food reaction tracker for
energy, mood,
gut, skin and what to ask the GP.

Log a meal, log how you felt afterwards: energy, mood, gut, skin. Over the weeks the diary spots which ingredients keep coming up before the rough days, so you've got something solid to take to your GP or dietitian. We surface the pattern. They diagnose.

For your GP
01 What the diary lets you log

A reaction is more
than a stomach ache.

Five categories cover almost everything people bring to us. Each entry takes a few seconds. The aim is a record over time, not a one-off note.

Energy

Flat, foggy or wired afternoons. The kind of slump that doesn't match the day's sleep or workload.

Mood

Irritability, low mood or anxiety that lifts when you change what you've been eating. Worth recording.

Gut

Bloating, wind, reflux, cramping, urgency, looseness. The bit GPs ask about first.

Skin

Flare-ups, eczema, hives, itching. Patterns can lag the meal by a day, which is why dated logs matter.

Headache

Tension, migraine, hangover-style heads after meals that weren't drinks. Logged with severity.

02 What a logged reaction looks like

A few taps
and it's down.

Pick the category, pick the severity, add a note if you want. The diary already knows what you ate. After a few weeks the suspected-triggers analysis (Pro) starts pulling threads.

Take it to your GP.
We're the diary, not the
diagnosis.

NutraSafe doesn't diagnose food intolerances or allergies. We can't and we wouldn't try. Food allergy is diagnosed by skin prick tests, specific IgE blood work or supervised oral food challenges. Most non-coeliac, non-lactose intolerances are worked out through supervised elimination and reintroduction with a registered dietitian.

Our job is to make the underlying record easy to keep and easy to share. The diary is what NHS and BDA guidance asks you to bring to the appointment in the first place.

03 Questions people ask

Frequently
asked.

The questions that come in from people about to start tracking. Answers sourced to NHS and BDA guidance.

What is a food reaction diary, and why do GPs ask for one?

A dated record of what you ate (ideally at ingredient level), when, the symptoms you experienced and their timing. NHS and BDA guidance for IBS and suspected food intolerance recommend a 7 to 14 day food and symptom diary before any elimination, because the patterns over time are what a clinician needs to interpret.

Can a food reaction tracker app diagnose a food allergy or intolerance?

No, and we don't try to. Food allergy is diagnosed by a clinical specialist using skin prick tests, specific IgE blood tests or supervised oral food challenges. Most non-coeliac, non-lactose intolerances are worked out through supervised elimination and reintroduction with a registered dietitian. Our role is to make the underlying record easy to keep and easy to share.

What does the suspected-triggers analysis actually do?

It surfaces correlations across your logged meals and reactions. For example, it might show that you logged a reaction within three hours of eating a particular ingredient four times in the last 30 days. It doesn't call that ingredient your trigger. It surfaces the data your GP, dietitian or registered allergist can interpret in clinical context.

What is free, and what is in NutraSafe Pro?

Free covers logging up to 25 foods per day, barcode scanning with the additive flag, and your five most recent reactions. NutraSafe Pro is £3.99/month or £34.99/year on iOS and unlocks full reaction history, the suspected-triggers analysis, allergen warning detail on barcode scans, and processed-food and NRV insights.

How do I record meals from sandwich shops, bakeries and takeaways?

UK retail items scan via the barcode straight from supermarket and own-brand catalogues. Pre-packed for direct sale items, such as a sandwich made on site or a salad assembled at the counter, carry a full ingredient list under Natasha's Law (2021), but no barcode, so we provide manual ingredient logging for those. Restaurant meals can be logged at meal level with as much ingredient detail as you have.

How long should I keep a reaction diary before I see a pattern?

Two to four weeks is the typical range. NHS and BDA both frame elimination and reintroduction protocols around a 2 to 4 week observation window. A week is usually too short to spot anything but the clearest triggers; a month covers enough day-to-day variation to surface quieter patterns that a clinician can work from.
