Log meals, symptoms and medications in a couple of taps, with no typing. GastroLog lines up your last two weeks on one screen, so you and your specialist can see what's really going on.
“I feel so cared for.”· NotNicolasCage, App Store
Symptoms, weight, sleep, energy, fluids, meds, meals and bowel movements. Two weeks share the same timeline, so you can see what changed before a rough day.
Gastroparesis doesn't keep office hours. The nausea, the fullness after three bites, the days a safe meal turns on you anyway. By the time your next GI appointment comes around it has all blurred together, and "it's been rough" is the best you can hand them. GastroLog holds the detail in the moment, so the record is there when you need to explain what your weeks actually look like.
Choose the meal size, texture and how much you got through: a few bites, about half, the usual or more than usual. Your repeat meals stay on Today for the days when even filling out a form is too much.
Every food builds its own record: how often you eat it, and how often symptoms followed within your window. Mark each one safe, trial or trigger. The app counts; the call stays yours.
Tap the symptom, set it on the five-dot scale, done — the severity levels use the wording of the GCSI, the symptom questionnaire GI clinics already use, so your record reads in your specialist's language. And when this morning's nausea came from last night's dinner, tag the meal. The picker reaches back through the night.
Export a clean PDF of your meals, symptoms, meds and trends over your chosen range. It turns "it's been rough lately" into a record your GI specialist can read and act on.
This is the three-page PDF GastroLog builds from example entries. It gives your care team the summary first, with the detail behind it.

Example data only. This is not a real patient record.
The Bowel row is on the same screen as meals and symptoms. You can record a movement, or mark that there was no movement that day. The PDF then shows the count, the days covered and the longest recorded gap.
Log a movement in one tap. Type and colour are optional, and “no movement today” stays distinct from a day you forgot to record.
Record a Botox treatment, dilation or stimulator procedure, then set the review date you were given. GastroLog reminds you when it is due.
Catch a question when it occurs. It waits with your appointment instead of disappearing before you see your specialist.
Set reminders and mark a dose taken straight from the notification, without opening the app.
Weight, fluids, sleep and energy, lined up on the same days as your meals and symptoms.
The diary lives on your phone. Waiting rooms and flights don't interrupt it.
GastroLog is built for the long stretch of recording that comes with gastroparesis, IBS, a low FODMAP elimination or reintroduction, reflux, chronic nausea and recovery after gut surgery.
The right details turn a diary into something your specialist can act on. Four carry most of the weight:
Large, fatty or high-fibre meals empty slowest — NIDDK's dietary guidance is smaller meals, low fat, low fibre. How much and how rich matters more than the exact dish. NIDDK
Nausea, fullness and vomiting on the same five-point scale each time, so a bad week is comparable to a good one. The five levels carry the wording of the GCSI, the validated symptom instrument. PubMed
Prokinetics are timed to meals — metoclopramide is taken 30 minutes before eating — so whether a dose actually happened matters when you read a bad week back. MedlinePlus
Gastroparesis carries a real risk of malnutrition and dehydration. Watching the trend catches trouble early. NIDDK
GastroLog records all four in a few taps a day. That's the difference between a diary you keep and one you drop by Friday. Read how to keep a food and symptom diary, including what to record and what to take to your appointment.
I built GastroLog after years of gut trouble I could never explain. A bad day would arrive with no cause I could point to — something I ate? the night before? — and by the next appointment it had all blurred together. This is the record I wished I'd had: meals and symptoms on one timeline, so the connections stop being guesswork.

Tracking Made Easy
“I am genuinely so happy with this app. I’ve been suffering from some odd gastrointestinal issues for the past month and got recommended to track what I eat. Started tracking with this app today and am blown away by how much thought and care has been placed into every ounce of it. I feel so cared for.”
NotNicolasCage · App Store · 10 August 2026
“This app is fairly intuitive, ideal for tracking food and the symptoms they may be causing. The developer considers feedback seriously; I made a suggestion and it was implemented immediately! If you have gastroparesis or other digestive issues and need a place to see food and symptom correlations, THIS IS IT!”
Alexis Fudge · Google Play · July 2026
“I use this app for gastroperisis and it is very helpful.”
Charly · Google Play · August 2026
“I cannot believe it! You added my suggestions on procedures, effectiveness, follow-up, and bowel movements. Now I don’t have to use a separate log, it is all on my phone now! Thank you!”
