Digestive Health with REAL Food: A Practical Guide to an Anti-Inflammatory, Low Irritant, Nutrient Dense Diet for IBS and Other Digestive Issues | 
bailedThe author of this book has MS, RD after her name. And then she puts this “home test” in here, admits there‘s absolutely no evidence to support it, but why not? I was already skeptical from some of her other starements, but now I‘m out.
Hooked_on_books This is the kind of crap that makes me not trust dieticians. Which is too bad, since they can provide a valuable service to people. 4mo
ravenlee @Hooked_on_books exactly. I met with a nutritionist (maybe a dietician, don‘t remember) in college, and she was awful to me. She looked down her nose at me and said, “there is no place for SUGAR (say it like it‘s stuck on your shoe now) in a balanced diet.” Because in my food journal I listed two (2!) swedish fish as a treat one day. She didn‘t even know what that was. 4mo
Hooked_on_books That‘s absurd! I‘ve left medicine, but I‘m an MD and some of the stuff I‘ve read dieticians say is so divorced from fact that I‘m horrified. People who have the backing of purported knowledge should not be inserting their personal opinions instead. And yet for folks doing an elimination diet or adjusting diet for a medical reason, those folks can be a godsend. If I was a good dietician, I‘d be so mad at someone like this. 4mo

ravenlee @Hooked_on_books yes! I‘ve heard about dietitians and nutritionists pushing vegan/paleo/keto/whatever particular diet they personally follow (I‘m a 28-year vegetarian, but I still wouldn‘t want it shoved down my throat, so to speak) and ignoring the reality of their patient‘s individual life and needs. I‘m trying to learn about a new diagnosis, sort out food sensitivities, and this junk is just muddying the waters. 4mo
Hooked_on_books Ug, that‘s so frustrating! I hope you find a good source that helps you get the info you need. 4mo
ravenlee @Hooked_on_books thank you. I‘m getting there, bit by bit. 4mo
