What actually makes trigger tracking stick?

I’ve had IBS for years and used to blame random things (even neck pain!) on everything but my gut. Cleaning up my diet helped, but the hardest part has been staying consistent with tracking—food, symptoms, timing. I always start strong and then… fall off.

A tiny experiment finally worked for me: a 7-day elimination plan.

- Picked one suspect (mine was gluten) and swapped just that for a week.
- Logged meals and symptoms however was easiest but had tough time tracking it and figuring it out exactly.

I’m tinkering with a minimal, tool called Gutzy (https://gutzy.app) to make logging take seconds. I’m here to listen first and shape it around what actually helps in real life.

What I’d love to learn from you (so I design this right):

- What has actually made you stick with tracking (or what made you quit)?
- If you could wave a magic wand, which one feature would matter most?
- 1-tap symptom score (0–10)
- “Onset window” markers after meals (30–60 / 60–120 / 120–180 min)
- Portion/dose sliders (e.g., ½ cup vs 1 cup)
- Stress/sleep overlays
- Bathroom log that’s quick and not gross
- Low-FODMAP hints without lecturing

For folks with IBS-C/-D/-M (or SIBO on top): what’s missing from trackers you’ve tried?
