If You Need A Nutritionist In The Dc Area -- Cheryl Harris Is Awesome!

I've just got to rave a bit about the nutritionist I stumbled across while searching for one who would be close to where we would be living when we moved back to the States this summer. I was lucky enough to find Cheryl Harris, who I have now learned has an amazing reputation in the Washington DC area. I've got to say it is well-deserved if my experience is anything like a normal experience. When I went for my evaluation at the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research, as soon as their nutritionist found out I had an appointment the next week to see Ms. Harris she basically said, "Cheryl is great. She'll be a huge help. I'll just give a brief overview and then you can contact me if you have further questions."

I've had two appointments and in both she offered concrete and 'do-able' recommendations in terms of how I could tweak my diet. She also told me after the second visit that she thought I had a good handle on approaching the diet...how nice to have someone finally tell me I'm doing something right! Keeping a detailed food diary helped us pinpoint that corn and legumes seem to be causing some problems and now that I've cut them out I've noticed my pain levels are starting to decrease! This after my doctors overseas totally dismissed my suggestion that further food intolerances could be an issue. Grrrr.

She's got two office locations -- one in Alexandria (Duke St) and one in Fairfax. If you do a search for Harris Whole Health you'll find her website.

If you have any specific qustions you can message me.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      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.

      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.
