Letter to the list of nutritionists i'm contacting. "Hi, i'm an assertive, strong-willed patient. Do you really want to have to put up with me?"


I have been diagnosed with a spectrum of chronic concerns including asthma, chronic rhinitis, and psoriasis. I have a spectrum of other complaints that include chronic and large canker sores, some digestive tract irregularity, and frequent ebbs in energy. I address the diagnosed issues with maintenance medications, and have spent a good deal of effort addressing my psychological health. The persistent malaise remains, and i am currently interested in exploring whether a food sensitivity is a cause.

I would like to find a nutritionist who would be my partner in an elimination diet, assisting me with finding a simple initial diet that excludes all potential sensitivities but meets my daily needs, and then who could partner in planning the reintroduction of food classes and monitoring for reactions.

If this is a methodology you are comfortable with, i would appreciate a reply. If not, i would welcome any recommendations of a nutritionist who may be experienced with this method. Could you include your fee scale in your reply, and whether phone consultations are possible? (During the challenge period, i don't know if i can make frequent office visits, but phone visits may be satisfactory.)

Thank you for your attention and assistance,

Evening Review
Give thanks, share beauty, note joy:
I'm happy can work at home, happy for the mildness of the days, the blue skies i can gaze out at, the sunset with its shimmering colors.

And crochet is a pleasant diversion, although i swear i had to undo so much work ....

Playing with cats, petting and snuggling the cats is also a joy, although i worry about Edward, his roaming and needs, and i worry about Mr M and his needs.

Noteworthy events (dining out, errands, correspondence):

I contacted nutritionists, which is a major yam. I've no idea why. Probably just the dread of finding a practitioner who is OK but difficult and unsatisfying. I have to admit: i've had great luck with my last several mental health practitioners. My primary care doctors have been disappointing.

i'll note that Christine is dealing with cauliflower, although she says the traditional frog might be more appealing
