English (United States)Food Diary, Symptoms Checker & Meal Journal for FODMAP IBS IBD Gluten SIBO GERD
Easily track food, mood & meds — no calorie counting, just easy health logging!
Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker sells the outcome a "food intolerance log" searcher wants: screenshot 4's "Uncover Hidden Food Sensitivities" sits over a bar chart reading "head pressure 100%", and screenshot 2's allergen chips name milk, eggs and gluten outright. Food Diary : Diet & Health log is equally legible about mechanics, with its timeline, custom-category picker and doctor-shareable text export, but its captions stop at "The Easiest Food Diary to Track Your Food" and never reach intolerance. Neither listing surfaces a single trust cue in the screenshots, which is the open point for both.

Value Proposition
A leadsFood Allergy & Symptom Tracker's 4th screenshot pairs "Hidden Food Sensitivities" with a "head pressure 100%" correlation bar, matching the intolerance search intent.
Food Diary : Diet & Health log's first caption, "The Easiest Food Diary to Track Your Food", promises easy logging but never mentions intolerances or triggers.
Clarity
TiedAllergen chips "milk", "eggs", "gluten" on screenshot 2 and the Awful-to-Great digestion scale on screenshot 3 show exactly what gets logged.
Food Diary : Diet & Health log's 3rd screenshot shows a text export reading "mood at 10:45 : Headache"; the 2nd shows a custom-category icon picker.
Emotional Hook
A leadsStyled food photography behind every panel and verb captions "Discover" and "Uncover" set a tone, but no person or relief moment appears.
Flat teal panels with device frames and capability captions like "Easy Navigation Through All Your Journal" leave the payoff for the reader to imagine.
Trust Signals
TiedNo badges, quotes or install counts on any of the four screenshots; the named reviews from "Suzy, US" sit only in the description.
No badges or user counts; screenshot 3's "Share Easily Your Diary With You Doctor" implies clinical use but carries no external endorsement.
Reviews of Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker cluster around payment friction, with users saying card details are required before any use and that the price is unclear, alongside reports of the app stopping at the startup screen and a small food database that forces manual entry. Reviews of Food Diary : Diet & Health log are dominated by praise for simplicity and for deliberately not counting calories, with customisable categories mentioned often; its recurring complaints are minor and low-frequency, covering banner ads, adjacent save and delete buttons, and missing export or analysis tools.

MediumFood Allergy & Symptom Tracker positions as a condition-led trigger-finding instrument, front-loading FODMAP IBS IBD Gluten SIBO GERD and testimonials about discovering a dairy cause. Food Diary : Diet & Health log positions as the opposite: a low-effort daily wellness diary whose lead claim is "no calorie counting" and "a few taps each day". The mismatch is diagnostic depth versus logging ease, so they compete for the same searcher from opposite ends of effort tolerance.

Gap
Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker leads with clinical specificity, naming six named conditions and a trends-based causal read, while Food Diary : Diet & Health log leads with effort removal, promising "quick, hassle-free entries" and custom categories with no condition named anywhere.
Opportunity
A searcher for "food intolerance log" wants an answer, not just a record, which lets Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker claim the analysis layer that Food Diary : Diet & Health log never promises.
Risk
The short description of Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker spends most of its 79 characters on acronyms (SIBO, IBD, GERD) and the phrase "food intolerance" only appears deep in the description, so an undiagnosed searcher who does not recognise those labels may read the app as too clinical for them and pick the simpler-sounding listing.
Strategic advantage
The Trends framing, "it's hard to understand what foods caused what symptoms", gives Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker an outcome no plain diary claims, which is the deciding factor for people already keeping a paper log and getting nowhere with it.
Missed opportunity
Neither listing addresses the delayed reaction problem, that intolerance symptoms surface hours or days after the meal, which is the specific reason ordinary diaries fail their users. Neither also frames the log as something you hand to a GI doctor or dietitian at an appointment.

Food Diary : Diet & Health log
Even
Food Diary : Diet & Health log sits at rank 5 on food intolerance log while Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker sits at 12, and the listing and review signals broadly support that order rather than contradict it. The gap is narrower than the ranking suggests, because Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker is the only one of the two that promises the trigger-finding outcome the query implies.
Why it wins
Reviews of Food Diary : Diet & Health log run on simplicity and no calorie counting, with complaints confined to banner ads and adjacent save and delete buttons, while reviews of Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker cluster on card details being requested before any use and on an unclear price. For a searcher typing food intolerance log, that difference in first-run trust decides the install even though the deeper diagnostic feature set sits on the other side.
Biggest opportunity
Neither the title nor the short description of Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker carries food intolerance log, despite its Trends framing being the only claim on the page about identifying which food caused which symptom, so a line such as "Food intolerance log: track meals & symptoms for IBS, FODMAP, gluten & SIBO" (75 characters) is the highest-value thing to test.
Next priority
Open logging before card details are requested and state the exact subscription price on the paywall of Food Allergy & Symptom Tracker, since recent reviews name that pairing repeatedly. Rank movement on food intolerance log only converts if the install survives the first screen.
