DIY or with dietician - IBS?

Posted by Twocoastsm @marlenec, Jun 16, 2023

Just curious if anyone has used a dietician to do the FODMAP/REINTRODUCTION protocol or if you have successfully done it in your own.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

I am getting motivated to try functional medicine at some point. Is that something doctors or others engage in?

I use a FMD, actually she’s a NP working under a MD. She was very useful to me. I’m a well read and informed person regarding foods and my health but was having problems putting everything together. She solved that problem.

This is a really interesting and hopeful experience you had with a GI dietician. I am sure open to moving off my zero to trace FODMAP diet (plus no grains, no lactose, and little fat), but every time I do I get nailed with IBS-C that takes a while to clear up. Perhaps I will see if there is one in my area or that does remote appointments. I remember I looked once but failed to find anyone useful. Note: I did and do not experience any difficult mental symptoms from my diet. And I "eat out" by bringing my own food, enjoying the aromas around me, and leaving a meal-purchase worthy tip. Thanks for sharing!
