Our dd was dx'd w/Celiac & we are seeing the Nutritionist tomorrow.

What type of questions should we be asking? All this is very new to us & there is an overwhelming amount of info here! But that's good, I just need to find the time to get through it all!

What is most helpful when seeing a nutritionist?

TIA!

Well the best thing is to brainstorm and come up with questions. The main thing is figuring out what foods your daughter can/will eat and how to make sure she gets the nutrients that she needs. Make up a list of 20 of her favorite food and all of the foods that she won't touch. Also write down her typical meal plan so the nutritionist will get an idea of what to keep, what to modify, and what to overhaul. Finally, figure out how much of what she should be eating to gain/maintain/lose weight.

Good luck!

Don't forget to come back and tell all of us what the nutritionist told you (in case we need to correct her - LOL)

Seriously, post again with what the nutritionist says.

Ask her how many patients she sees with Celiac. Ask her what conferences she has attended to keep up on food labeling laws and Celiac. Ask where you can find good gluten free products in your area. Ask if she has any books or magazines she would recommend.

All of these would give me an idea of how much she truly knows about Celiac. There are many great nutritionists out there, but many of them have outdated and incorrect information on Celiac. So its important to know her level of experience with Celiac.

(Mine told me not to eat certain green veggies. Seriously. Turns out the whole time, she was talking to me about Crohn's. I kept correcting her...and I had know about Celiac for all of three weeks!)

Thank you for all of your advice. I hope that she knows what she's talking about, but I'm not certain yet.

When I called she asked why we needed a nutritionist for a 3yr old, I said b/c of Celiac. She said, "well, does she have diabetes?" Ummm, no. :rolleyes:

Sooo, we'll have to see. Right now I have HMO to thank for this referral b/c they wouldn't let me go to the one that our ped GI recommended :angry:

I'll take notes & report back so you all can help! I'm so happy to have found this forum!!

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
