Intolerance Food Diary 1.3.9

The Intolerance Food Diary is a user-friendly tool designed to assist individuals in recording, monitoring, and identifying potential food intolerances, sensitivities, and allergies. However, it is important to note that this application is no longer under active development and is provided "as is," with no expected future updates.

The primary feature of the application is its diary component, where users can log individual food items consumed during meals. Additionally, users can document symptoms that may arise in response to these foods. Each entry is timestamped, enabling a detailed hour-by-hour and day-by-day analysis of dietary intake and associated symptoms. Users also have the option to input additional information in the "Notes" section for more comprehensive tracking.

Data entry is streamlined with the application’s memory function, which recalls previously entered food items, symptoms, and notes. This feature enhances efficiency as repeat entries can be quickly selected from a dropdown menu, making the diary completion process faster and more dependable.

Once sufficient data regarding food consumption and symptoms has been collected, the app offers a statistical analysis capability. This function suggests potential food triggers for specific symptoms based on user inputs, excluding any notes entered. Users can also explore the latency period of symptoms following food consumption, adjusting a simple slider to refine the focus of the statistical analysis. It is crucial to understand that the app's findings do not replace professional medical advice; consultation with healthcare providers is recommended before undertaking any health-related actions.

Furthermore, the app provides features for generating reports from user data. It allows users to select entries between specified dates for export as PDF or CSV files, facilitating easy sharing with oneself or medical professionals monitoring dietary changes.

An upgrade to the premium version of the app is available for a nominal fee, which removes banner advertisements and grants access to the "Backup/Restore Diary" functionality. This feature enables users to back up their entire diary database to a single file, facilitating transfer to new devices while ensuring continuity of usage. Users can similarly back up their Food Dictionary database built from inputted foods.

The application requires specific permissions for optimal functionality:

• In-App Purchases: This permission allows users to upgrade to the premium version; however, all features remain functional in the free version except for back-up capabilities.
• Photos/Media/Files: This permission is necessary for creating PDF and CSV reports while maintaining privacy with regard to existing media on the device. It enables saving reports in a designated folder and reading files for email attachments.
• Network Access: Network access is needed solely for loading banner advertisements in the free version; no additional data transmission occurs.

All data entered within this application is stored locally on the user's device and remains accessible exclusively by the user.
