Who should see a dietician?
Diet is an essential part of treating many illnesses or troubles in the body. You may be referred to a dietician if you have a disease which requires a managed, monitored diet. For example, those with the following conditions usually need to see a dietician:
- Diabetes
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) (i.e. renal disease)
- Liver cirrhosis
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- High cholesterol and hypertension
- Eating disorders
- Autoimmune disorders (e.g. celiac’s disease, Hashimoto’s disease, etc.)
- Thyroid disease (e.g. hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism)
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Arthritis
And more.
However, a dietician’s work can be applied directly to patients who want to solve abnormalities related to their eating and digestion. Symptoms to look out for include:
- Trouble swallowing
- Chronically upset stomach or vomiting when eating
- Frequent diarrhea, gas, constipation or irregular bowel movements
- Frequent heartburn or acid reflux
- Lack of appetite, or always feeling hungry and overeating
- Unexplained weight loss or weight gain (or an inability to lose weight despite serious attempts to do so)
- Stunted growth and development (namely in children)
- Feeling fatigued despite sleeping well
- Allergic reactions to food
- Skin changes or troubles (e.g. dryness, rash, flaking, etc.)
Those who are pregnant, or planning to become pregnant, can also benefit from seeing a dietitian.
