What symptoms can NutriAID analyze?
Any body reaction that could be related to food:
- Bloating
- Abdominal pain
- Gastric reflux
- Nausea
- Post-meal fatigue
- Migraines
- Skin rashes
- Post-meal anxiety
- Unpredictable bowel movements
- Feeling of heaviness in the stomach
- Diffuse headaches
- Mental fog (brain fog)
How to correctly log a symptom?
Symptom type
Bloating, pain, migraine, fatigue, reflux, rash, nausea, etc.
Intensity (1-10)
How severe the symptom was. Even mild symptoms are relevant.
Onset time
How long after the last meal the symptom appeared. Crucial for detecting delayed reactions.
Duration
How long the symptom lasted — minutes, hours, or all day.
Why are delayed reactions important?
Unlike classic allergies (immediate reaction), food intolerances can cause symptoms 2-48 hours after consumption. This makes manual identification nearly impossible.
Real example:
The migraine appearing Monday morning may be caused by a food combination consumed Sunday evening. The AI detects this connection based on your history — without you needing to make this link yourself.
What is AI symptom analysis?
AI symptom analysis means automatically correlating each reported reaction (bloating, pain, migraine, fatigue) with meals consumed in the relevant time window — including within the 2–48 hour range, where manual identification is practically impossible.
Why is symptom logging important?
Without symptom data, the AI can analyze meals but cannot detect correlations. Symptoms are the essential half of the equation: food + time + reaction = pattern. The more complete and precise the symptom data, the more reliable the identified correlations.
Food intolerance vs. Food allergy
| Criterion | Food intolerance | Food allergy |
|---|---|---|
| Reaction timing | 2–48 hours | Minutes (immediate) |
| Severity | Moderate, chronic | Can be severe (anaphylaxis) |
| Manual detection | Difficult | Easier |
| Standard medical test | Does not exist | Prick test / IgE |
| Common examples | Lactose, gluten, FODMAP | Peanuts, milk, eggs |
| NutriAID can help | ✅ Yes | Urgent: see a doctor |
Frequently asked questions
- What symptoms can I log in NutriAID?
- Any body reaction that could be related to food: bloating, abdominal pain, migraine, post-meal fatigue, reflux, skin rashes, nausea, anxiety, or mental fog (brain fog).
- Should I log mild symptoms with low intensity?
- Yes. Even mild symptoms, with intensity 1-2 out of 10, are relevant for identifying patterns. The AI works with all available data, not only severe cases.
- What should I do if I have multiple symptoms after the same meal?
- Log each symptom separately, with its type, intensity, and onset time. The more detail you provide, the more precise and useful the AI analysis will be.
- Can I log symptoms that are not digestive?
- Yes. Migraines, fatigue, skin rashes, brain fog, and anxiety can all be linked to food and are analyzed by NutriAID just like digestive symptoms.
- How quickly do the first symptom-food correlations appear?
- Usually after 3-7 days of consistent logging of both meals and symptoms. The larger the data volume, the more reliable the correlations.
Summary
- Any food-related symptom can be logged: digestive, neurological, skin-related
- Essential elements: symptom type, intensity (1–10), onset time, duration
- The AI detects reactions at 2–48h — crucial for intolerances, impossible to track manually
- Mild symptoms (intensity 1–2) are just as valuable as severe ones
- First symptom-food correlations appear after 3–7 days of logging both
