Elimination Protocol Tracker
Most elimination diet advice stops at "remove these foods and see how you feel." Nobody tells you how to actually track 28 days of compliance and symptoms, how to plan a reintroduction sequence that won't give you false data, or how to turn weeks of notes into something a doctor can act on.
I built this because I needed it.
This is a 58-page fillable and printable PDF — a complete system for the two phases of any elimination protocol: elimination and reintroduction. It's protocol-agnostic, so it works whether you're doing Low FODMAP, AIP, a doctor-directed elimination, or your own custom plan.

WHAT'S INSIDE
ELIMINATION PHASE
• How to Use This System — how the two phases work and why they're tracked separately
• Protocol Setup — define what you're eliminating, why, your timeline, and what you're hoping to learn
• My Baseline — your full symptom picture before you start, so you have something to measure against
• Elimination Phase Daily Log × 28 days — meals, compliance, and symptom tracking designed to take minutes, not an hour
• Weekly Pattern Review × 4 — step back from daily detail and identify what's actually shifting
REINTRODUCTION PHASE
• Reintroduction Schedule Planner — map your full testing sequence in advance, with built-in 72-hour spacing so you don't rush and contaminate your data
• Food Challenge Log × 15 — one per food, tracking immediate, 24-, 48-, and 72-hour responses, because reactions don't always show up right away
• Tolerated vs. Reactive Foods — your running reference, built as you go
WRAPPING UP
• Full Results Summary — baseline vs. end-of-elimination comparison and key findings in one place
• Appointment Prep Sheet — fill out before any follow-up visit
• What to Tell Your Doctor — the exact language for a confirmed reaction, in terms that get taken seriously
• Glossary — working definitions for terms like washout period, cross-reactivity, and delayed reaction

PART OF THE GUT HEALTH SERIES
This tracker covers the elimination and reintroduction process — the active investigation phase. Once you've identified your triggers and completed your protocol, ongoing gut health doesn't stop being something to track.
The Gut Health Tracker & Reference System is the companion tool for that next stage: daily symptom logging, pattern review, and a reference glossary for long-term management — built on the same framework, designed to work alongside whatever you've learned here.

Pairs well with the Gut Health Tracker & Reference System, the Food Allergy & Intolerance Tracker & Reference System, and the ADHD Executive Function Tracker & Reference System, also available in my shop — built to cross-reference each other if you're managing more than one thing at once.
