I agree I have found that processed foods are more likely to have hidden allergens or be cross contaminated and they aren't really healthy for you anyway!
I have not done a food dairy and probably ought too. Just have not been able to get there.
I always thought a calendar might be helpful, could just write foods there and how I feel daily and go back and track that way. I have not done this yet, lol
