Nutritionist

[GingerA]

I was just wondering if anyone saw a nutritionist and if it helped. It looks like this is affecting me and my son so I need to get a really good handle on the best possible way for us to live.

From what I've heard, nutritionists aren't trained in food intoleranes only the recommended

foods by our govt which includes the benefits eating gluten/wheat, dairy, etc.

An integrative or holistic doctor can help with food intolerances.

I see that you've eliminated gluten, dairy and sugar. That's a great start . Other common food intoleranes

include corn, soy and all chemicals.

I found it easier just to stick to whole foods. Paleo ... I was low carb / low glycemic and it

seemed to help, esp with glucose issues so I'm getting back to it today.

I agree with Dizzy. I saw a dietician and it was a complete and total waste of my time and money. She was absolutely clueless about food allergies and honestly, I knew much more than she did in many areas because I had been doing so much research. I should say something nice--they are great at calculating calories if that's what you need LOL.

I found help online from several sites after googling 'multiple food allergies'. A good integrative doc is a great suggestion as well.

Thanks for the input. I was afraid that would be the case. I will try the google search that seems to be the best way to go. I looked at the Paleo diet and it looked like a good idea but very hard to put into practice with 3 kids under 15. I will have to slowly sneak changes in on them. lol
