So you finally made an appointment with a nutritionist. After complaining to your regular physician (and your friends and family) for years about your digestive discomfort, your weight fluctuation, and your terrifying times in the bathroom, you realized that perhaps it was time to speak to someone who is specifically educated in diet and nutrition. Your blood work and x-rays from your regular doctor’s office keep coming back regular, but nothing about your tummy feels regular, so you know that’s not right. The truth is that, while some doctors have some training in diet and nutrition, that only makes up a very small portion of their medical training. That’s a real shame since, often, food is at the root of health issues that we just throw expensive medication and procedures at.
