I've long put off having a food and symptom journal, because I'm pretty disorganized, but I will take your advice serious. Can I ask how you exactly correlate the symptoms with your food intake? From what I've read the digestive system takes max 48 hours from in to out. |

A lot of stuff happens about 48 hours after the triggering event. My son did some research and this seems to be a significant blood and lymph timing thing.
Other significant time frames seem to be one week, two weeks, one month and six weeks. These aren't peculiar to "things I ate." These are health events triggering physiological changes that don't show up until later.
It's harder to connect those longer time frames to the triggering event, but I am sometimes reasonably confident of the connection because of the specifics involved and I just read a lot and discuss this stuff a lot and write about it a lot. Patterns eventually become clear if you pay enough attention.
As your diet changes, your body changes and your needs change. It's a moving target.
