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 There are many great nutritionists out there, but many of them have outdated and incorrect information on Celiac.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!!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
