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.

Heartburn after coffee? A throat that needs clearing every morning? Reflux shows up differently for everyone, and the only pattern that matters is yours. Refluxa is a reflux and LPR (silent reflux) tracker that connects what you eat, how you live and how you feel, so you can see your personal triggers instead of guessing. FIND YOUR TRIGGERS Log meals and symptoms, and Refluxa cross-references every exposure. After a few days you see which foods and habits are followed by symptoms more often than your own baseline, each with a confidence level. Correlation in your data, clearly explained. SCAN ANY MEAL Point your camera at your plate. Refluxa recognizes the items and scores each one for acidity and trigger risk, based on mainstream reflux dietary guidance. Adjust anything before saving. Manual search over 300+ foods works just as fast. BUILT FOR SILENT REFLUX TOO Most reflux apps stop at heartburn. Refluxa includes the throat-focused symptom set (hoarseness, throat clearing, globus, cough) and a reflux profile quiz based on the Reflux Symptom Index, so LPR patterns get tracked properly from day one. NEVER RE-ENTER A PILL Add your medication once, pick your times, and log each dose with one tap right from the reminder. The adherence view shows your week at a glance. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS Turn 30 days of logs into a clean PDF summary: symptom frequency, suspected triggers and medication adherence. Walk into your next appointment with data instead of vague recollections. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything you log lives on your device. No account needed. Export to CSV anytime. Refluxa is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It helps you track and understand your own patterns. Always consult your doctor. Refluxa Pro is a subscription: $4.99 per week, or $39.99 per year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
