Have You Consulted A Dietician For Help?

Now that I am gluten and casein free and have to watch sugar, :rolleyes: I was thinking how nice it would be to have someone who crunches serving size and nutrient numbers together to make an eating plan for me. I'm doing okay right now, but not much variety. I have thought about seeking a dietician but wanted to see if it was worth my time or not. Have any of you had a positive experience with one?

Thanks!

Sarah

I had a positive experience with one but it's pretty uncomon to find one who knows more about gluten than you do. My support group leader referred mine to me and she happend to be an ex-chef who used to teach gluten free cooking lessons at Kroger so that's why she knew all about what we could and could not have. Good luck but I'd ask a lot of questions before making an appt. with anyone. I spent $100 for a 1.5 hour session and it was a great investment for me. But one person I was going to see cost $225 for same time and she probably would not have been as helpful. Most insurance companies won't cover nutritionists visits. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that.

My gastroenterologist referred me to the hospital's registered dietician. My first consult is next Tuesday. Things have stabilized since going on the diet, but I'd like some advice on how to gain back some weight quickly. I have every reason to believe that this will be covered by insurance.

Let us know how your visit with the dietician goes. If it turns out to be really helpful, I will definitely try to meet with one.

This is kind of what I have been suspecting. It would be great if I could find a dietician who specializes in food intolerances. Thanks,

We just saw one this past Monday that my son's GI recommended. She was extremely helpful, but I hear that is not the norm. This specific woman has been dealing with the gluten-free diet for 20 years. She is very knowledgeable.

I did see a dietician when I first went gluten-free, she happened to be the one who figured out the whole gluten intolerance/Celiac thing with me. She was very helpful, too, and actually recommended that I speak with the woman we just saw on Monday!

I would just make sure the one you choose is familiar with the type of diet you need help with.

Good luck!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
