Chron's Disease Treatment Journal: Daily symptom, trigger and food tracker for people living with Chrons Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and other Inflammatory Bowel Diseases or IBD

Chron's Disease Treatment Journal

_{Note: Although this book mentions Chron's Disease, the elements inside are suitable for people with any kind of chronic or Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), such as Colitis.}

Living with any kind of IBD can be debilitating. Fortunately, treatment is becoming more advanced, and the causes and triggers more and more understood. One of the most vital steps towards treatment, is keeping a thorough and accurate record of everything that triggers your symptoms, and how each treatment works for you. One thing that has always been clear, is that each individual will be effected differently, triggered for different reasons, and respond differently to treatments and medications.

This journal is the ultimate first step towards the management and treatment of Chron's disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases. It was designed to keep track of all elements that may affect your individual experiences with Chron's disease. Keeping an accurate journal is often recommended by doctors, and providing the information you note in this journal will be monumental in your individual treatment, and make living with Chron's disease much simpler for you.

For each day, this book contains inputs for the following aspects:

• Date
• Energy level, activity level and sleep quality
• Wake up mood
• Things you wish to achieve today
• Symptom tracking (Bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, cramping, nausea / vomiting, other) and the start and finish time of these symptoms
• Pain tracking (1-10) for different points in the day
• Other pain and symptom notes
• Food and drink intake and time, and whether these caused any reactions or triggers
• Medications and supplements, and the time you had them
• Water intake, including time and amount
• Bowel movement type and time
• Other Notes

There are also blank lined notes pages contained at the end of the book, which can be used for further note taking. You may use them to note down doctors appointments, treatment plans, medication and supplement suggestions etc.

Although this may seem excessive, keeping a strict and accurate record is crucial to developing your personalised treatment. As mentioned, something that may be a trigger for you, may not be the same for everyone else, and by keeping this record you will better understand your own diagnosis.

This journal has space for 90 days or approximately 3 months. By filling out this journal every day, your doctor will have more than enough information to understand how your IBD effects you, and should be able to work out the most appropriate course of action to help treat you. Some people will continue to document their symptoms to track changes in their diagnosis, however the need for this differers from individual to individual.
