Suspect food allergies but haven't identified the culprit? Suffering from chronic hives, bloating, or skin rashes and looking for patterns? Allergy Food Diary helps you log meals and symptoms on-the-go to uncover hidden correlations completely offline. By running a local, simplified Apriori association rules algorithm, the app calculates confidence and precursor rates to point out which foods are most likely triggering your flare-ups. WHY PAY FOR ALLERGY FOOD DIARY? Unlike generic food diaries that only track calories, Allergy Food Diary is built from the ground up for allergy tracking. For a single one-time lifetime purchase of $2.99 (after a 7-day free trial), you get advanced analytics tools, customizable analysis windows, and professional doctor-ready PDF exports. No monthly subscriptions, no ongoing costs. CORE FEATURES: 1. QUICK-LOG COMMON ALLERGENS: Speed-tag the Big 8 common food allergens (Egg, Milk, Peanut, Tree Nuts, Wheat, Soy, Fish, Shellfish) + enter custom food tags. 2. SYMPTOM TIMELINE: Log occurrences (hives, rash, bloating, sneezing, diarrhea) with customizable severity colors (Mild, Moderate, Severe). 3. LOCAL CORRELATION ENGINE: Uncover stats like "75% of Hives flare-ups were preceded by Mango consumption in the last 24 hours." 4. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS: Export a beautifully formatted PDF summarizing timeline logs and correlation rules to share with your allergist. 5. 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE: Your sensitive health data never leaves your iPhone. All logs and analytics run locally in Core Data. * MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: This app is a tracking and correlation tool and does not constitute medical advice or diagnosis. Always consult a physician or allergist before making major dietary adjustments.

Allergy Diary is a fast, private food tracker and symptom log that helps you observe how your diet may relate to how you feel. If you are dealing with suspected food allergies, food intolerances, skin rashes, hives, eczema, or gut issues like bloating, this app is built for you. It removes the friction of journaling so you can build a reliable history without relying on memory. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log Meal: record the time, food, allergens, and where you ate. 2. Log Symptom: record symptom type, severity from 1 to 5, duration, and link recent meals. 3. Track Patterns: see how often specific foods and symptoms were logged together. KEY FEATURES - Super fast logging: tap-friendly chips and toggles. Log a meal or reaction in under 10 seconds. - Quick add, favorites, and food-name autocomplete so you do not retype meals. - Allergen library: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, plus your own. - Symptom tracking: skin reactions, digestive and gut issues, headaches, and respiratory symptoms, or custom tags. - Linked events: link a symptom to a specific meal to measure how often they co-occur. - Patterns by month: allergen and symptom combinations, a symptom trend over time, and your most-eaten foods. - Timeline and calendar views of your records, day by day. - Works fully offline. Your records stay on your device. WHO IS IT FOR? - People on elimination diets or food reintroduction routines (FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free). - Parents observing food sensitivities, eczema, or digestive issues in babies and children. - Anyone trying to observe possible triggers for chronic hives, bloating, rashes, or gut discomfort. DISCLAIMER This app is a personal tracking and observation tool. It shows how often events were logged together (frequency); it does not determine causes or provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional for any medical concerns.
