Allergens: Google App Engine (Django) Project

This project allows people suffering from food allergies to enter in their daily food intake (what I ate and when) and allergic reactions (reaction intensity and symptom) and then makes an informed guess at what is causing the reactions (which may be delayed by X hours, last for X hours, have some noise in the signal, etc).
Often foods packaging does not list all the ingredients (aka, "colorings and flavorings"), so this will also be useful to data-mine for brands that include allergens that are not specified.
Likewise, entering food ingredients is unfun and only one user should have to ever do this per food/brand. This is where Ajax comes into play, as you want to make it as easy as possibly to type in the long chemical names of things.
The goal is to start at "Simple and Useful" and scale from there. Anyone with a child with a food allergy could use this service from launch-day and get lots of value. It may turn out, in fact, that "Milk is not good food".
