Digestive Disease Nutritionist?

Feedthebeast · Jan 30, 2017

Any board sponsors here that work with clients who have digestive diseases? I know this is probably a long shot but thought I'd ask anyway.

If you suspect a disease you should have first a diagnose by a doctor through proper tests and exams.

If you have a diagnose then the proper specialist is a Naturopathic Doctor, If Naturopathic Medicine is licensed in your state. If its not, you have to see an MD specialized in Nutrition. Theres Naturopathic Doctors in every state anyways, but if they're not regulated and licensed by the state I wouldnt mess with them anyways for liability reasons.

Ive had crohns disease since I was 13 and diagnosed with UC about 9 years ago. I was just curious to see if there were any guys here that have ever worked with clients with issues like myself

I am not sure what his condition was, but John Meadows had severe problems and had to have surgery for it at one time, if you contact him directly I'm sure he be glad to discuss it.

I can, and i know my body better than anyone else as to what i can and cant eat, but just like anyone else who hires a diet coach....i'd like some direction from someone with more experience and knowledge.
