As the authors of “Not Your Average Slice of Pizza", we understand that life is anything but average. That's why our restroom journal is far from 'average'. It is packed with unique features, making it a standout choice for your health journey.

When our son was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, we couldn't find a restroom journal, stool chart, and symptom journal that checked all of the necessary boxes. This personal experience led us to recognize that many children and adults facing health challenges and various disorders could use restroom journals to track changes in their stools. While you might think you will remember what it looked like, this journal will ensure you have accurate information.

It's designed to be easy to use and share when speaking with your medical team. This journal is great for personal use but also helpful for medical appointments. It's a tool that adapts to your needs, whether you need it for a few days, several months, or a year. It's laid out in a way that can easily be shared with your medical team, providing the support you need in managing your health.

We have included symptom trackers in addition to tracking stool, which is especially helpful with IBD conditions, remission, and flare-ups.

While this journal is recommended for any age, it also serves as an excellent teaching and learning device for kids. It can help them become more understanding of their own bodies and empower them in their own journeys.

Why not track detailed food reactions in the same journal? It's simple! We like the idea of keeping a food journal in the kitchen or dining room and a restroom journal where it belongs: in the restroom. We created a separate food journal to efficiently work with this restroom journal!

We live this life, too. We understand that the journey with IBD or any health challenge isn't linear. That's why our restroom journal and symptom tracker are designed to be flexible and adaptable, providing the support you need as your journey changes.

A stool chart is included to help you determine the type of stool, and a suggested guide is provided to identify other symptoms to include with stool.

This journal will help guide you in tracking the following and will cover a year:
Day, time, type of stool, pain, location of pain, new changes in stool, PUCAI questions, flare symptoms, temperature, weight loss/gain, appetite changes, calorie goals, identifying if you are currently sick or have had medication changes.
