How will my tracking information be used to enhance my care?
To provide optimal recommendations for your symptoms and personal health and wellness, the care team would like you to regularly track your symptoms, diet, and lifestyle. Your tracking information will only be used to assess your condition and to provide you with care recommendations. Your Registered Dietitian will view your tracking information regularly to stay up-to-date with your progress and to adjust your management recommendations if need be.
This information will not be shared externally.

How often should I track?
Your care team would love to see you tracking daily as the consistent information will provide them with a much more comprehensive and accurate picture of how your body is responding to your diet and lifestyle behavior and whether or not the recommendations they are providing are appropriately working for you.
Ideally, we would prefer if you could track throughout the day (meals, bowel movements, exercise, etc.), but we understand that tracking can be tedious and time consuming. At the least, we ask that you try to track daily.
How much detail should I track?
We know everyone tracks differently. We encourage you to be as detailed as possible!
Please note: While your dietitian will use your logs to improve the quality of care we deliver, your food & symptom logs may not be viewed on a daily basis.
