Built around the jobs people tracking food and symptoms actually do
See which foods line up with symptoms
Each meal and each symptom gets a time. Trigger Analysis matches them within a window you set (72 hours by default) and ranks foods by symptom rate and severity.

Before you buy
Does it work for diets other than low FODMAP?
Yes. Set the protocol to Custom in Settings. Reintroduction and the Safe Foods and Trigger Foods tabs work the same way for AIP, Whole30 or any elimination plan.
Can I track without seeing calories?
Yes. Gentle mode hides the calorie and macro columns on the Food Log and Dashboard, and the template has no streaks or badges.
Does it diagnose food intolerances?
No. It organizes what you eat and how you feel and shows patterns in your own entries. The Doctor Summary gives you something clear to talk through with your provider.
What do I get?
An Excel file (.xlsx), a filled-in sample to look at, and a quick-start PDF guide with a link that makes your own copy in Google Sheets.
How does delivery work?
You get your download links right after checkout, and Stripe emails your receipt. There is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.
How do I set it up in Google Sheets?
Open the quick-start PDF and click the Google Sheets link. Google makes a copy in your own Drive that only you can edit. You need a free Google account.
Will it work on a Mac?
Yes. It works in Excel on Mac and Windows, and in Google Sheets in any browser.
I'm not a spreadsheet person. Is that a problem?
No. You only type in the yellow cells. Everything in gray works itself out, and the Start Here tab shows you where to begin.
Can I get a refund?
Templates are digital downloads, so sales are final. If a file won't open, is broken or doesn't match its description, email hello@cleanpixelstudios.com within 30 days and we'll fix it, or refund you if we can't.
What if I get stuck?
Email hello@cleanpixelstudios.com and we'll help you get it working.
