Endometriosis Diet Symptom Trigger Log

A plain food and symptom log for endometriosis care prep, with meals, caffeine, alcohol, pain, bowel symptoms, bloating, fatigue, cycle day, and clinician questions.

Use this log when food questions are part of your endometriosis care.

It helps you write down meals, drinks, cycle timing, pain, bowel symptoms, bloating, and fatigue. It does not prove that a food caused symptoms. It does not treat endometriosis.

Bring the pattern to a clinician or dietitian. If you have severe pain, fever, fainting, blood in stool or urine, rapid weight loss, pregnancy concerns, or symptoms that feel unsafe, seek care now.

One page summary

Fill this out before a visit.

Field Your notes Main food question Main symptom question Time range tracked Worst cycle days Worst pain score, 0 to 10 Main bowel symptom Main bloating pattern Main fatigue pattern Food or drink I suspect Food I stopped or reduced Medicine or supplement changes Main question for care

Use plain words. "Pain worse after dinner on period day 1" is useful. "No clear pattern" is useful too.

Daily food and symptom log

Use one row per day. Keep the notes short enough to finish.

Date Cycle day Period day Meals and snacks Caffeine Alcohol Pain 0 to 10 Bowel symptoms Bloating Fatigue Notes : : : none / some / more than usual none / some none / mild / strong none / mild / strong none / mild / strong

Do not use this table to punish yourself. The goal is a clear record, not a perfect diet.

Symptom detail

Use this when the daily row needs more detail.

Date Cycle day Symptom Time it started Severity What else was happening? What helped, if anything? : : pain / cramps / bowel / bloating / nausea / fatigue 0 to 10

Symptoms can have many causes. Food timing is only one clue. Cycle timing, sleep, stress, medicine, illness, and bowel conditions may also matter.

Food and drink detail

Use this section only for items you want to ask about.

Date Food or drink Amount When you had it Symptom timing Keep tracking? before / after / same day / next day yes / no / ask

You may choose to track:

Meals and snacks. Caffeine. Alcohol. Dairy, gluten, spicy food, high fiber food, or fried food if those are your own questions. New supplements. New medicines. Missed meals. Very late meals.

Do not cut out whole food groups based on one bad day. Ask for help first if eating feels stressful or unsafe.

Bowel and bloating check

Endometriosis can overlap with bowel symptoms, but bowel symptoms can also have other causes.

Date Cycle day Constipation Diarrhea Pain with bowel movement Bloating Nausea Notes : none / mild / strong none / mild / strong none / mild / strong none / mild / strong none / mild / strong

Call a clinician sooner for blood in stool, black stool, fever, vomiting, faintness, severe pain, or symptoms that are new for you.

Pattern review

After one cycle, answer these.

Question Your notes Which cycle days were worst? Did symptoms cluster before bleeding? Did symptoms cluster during bleeding? Did symptoms happen outside the period? Did bowel symptoms follow a cycle pattern? Did any food question repeat more than once? Did sleep, stress, medicine, or illness also change? What do you want help with first?

A repeated timing pattern is worth asking about. It is not proof.

Questions for a clinician or dietitian

Bring the questions that fit.

Could my symptoms be tied to my cycle? What symptoms need urgent care? Should we check bowel, bladder, or pelvic causes? Should I see a dietitian? Is an elimination diet safe for me? What should I avoid changing on my own? Could medicine, supplements, or birth control affect this pattern? What should I track before the next visit? Would a short summary be better than a full food diary?

Use the endometriosis pain diary if pain is the main issue. Use the period tracking endometriosis guide if you need help with cycle timing.

A short visit script

"I tracked food, drinks, cycle day, pain, bowel symptoms, bloating, and fatigue. I know this does not prove a food trigger. I want help reading the pattern and deciding what is safe to try."

If the visit includes sex pain, bowel symptoms, bladder symptoms, fertility, or private life notes, you can ask to speak alone.

Privacy note

Food logs can show more than meals. They can show pain, bowel habits, alcohol, fertility notes, sex pain, and daily routines.

Floriva can store cycle and symptom notes on your device. You can also use paper. Pick the format that best limits access and is easy to bring to care.
