Most acid reflux advice hands you a list of 40 foods to avoid. AcidLog does the opposite: it finds the 3 or 4 that actually bother YOU β so you can stop fearing the rest. Log a meal and how you felt in about 30 seconds. AcidLog's correlation engine connects what you ate to your symptoms and, within 14 days, gives you a personal trigger list ranked by confidence. WHY A GENERIC "AVOID THESE FOODS" LIST FAILS Coffee wrecks one person and does nothing to the next. Reflux is personal. Instead of eliminating everything, AcidLog watches your own meals and symptoms and surfaces the patterns that are actually yours. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log β add a meal and rate symptoms (heartburn, regurgitation, throat, cough, bloating) in seconds. 2. Correlate β the on-device engine links foods to the symptoms that followed. 3. Discover β by day 14 you get a ranked list of your likely triggers, with a confidence score for each. WHAT'S FREE The full 14-day trigger discovery is free: log meals and symptoms and see your first correlations and trigger list. No trial paywall in front of the core. ACIDLOG PRO (monthly or annual subscription) - Unlimited history and correlation beyond day 14 - Doctor-ready PDF report to bring to your gastroenterologist - Trend stats over weeks and months - Ongoing trigger refinement as your diet changes BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Offline logging β entries queue on your phone and sync when you're back online - No ads. Ever. - Fast enough to log at the table, not an hour later - Works for GERD, silent reflux / LPR, and post-meal indigestion MADE FOR - Adults with GERD or silent reflux (LPR), including long-term PPI users who want their own triggers, not another handout - Anyone newly diagnosed and told to "keep a food diary" - Caregivers who cook and want to know which meals set off symptoms AN HONEST NOTE AcidLog is a diary and correlation tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, and it isn't a substitute for your doctor. Its job is to hand you and your clinician better data. Find your triggers, keep your food. Start free.
