I'm not sure if there is any real way of knowing, it will be very different between people and depends on what you eat and the combination of components in your meal.
You can certainly tell if you eat asparagus and are one of the people who makes their pee smell but that probably doesn't tell you the same thing.
You could try eating beetroot.

Now there’s a question. Just googled a lot of conflicting figures. For you @gail2 . Anything up to 73 hours? It would depend on what’s consumed. I wouldn’t have thought it was an easy thing to track.

I's suggest swallowing a piece of string and waiting for it to emerge but...

The Chief Defect of Henry King
Was chewing little bits of String.
At last he swallowed some which tied
Itself in ugly Knots inside.

Physicians of the Utmost Fame
Were called at once; but when they came
They answered, as they took their Fees,
"There is no Cure for this Disease.

"Henry will very soon be dead.''
His Parents stood about his Bed
Lamenting his Untimely Death,
When Henry, with his Latest Breath,

Cried, "Oh, my Friends, be warned by me,
That Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, and Tea
Are all the Human Frame requires...''
With that, the Wretched Child expires.

I think all you can do is log foods that consistently cause a dodgy reaction. And avoid them in future?
