Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section.

Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is).

My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice.

I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified.

Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid!

Thanks x

some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council

Dietician is registered and protected

Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc

Hello there...

I have gotten to know, like and trust Crystal Mendes through a local group meet. up, and can vouch for her being very knowledgable, trained and qualified, however I have not used her company.  

Would suggest getting in touch via instagram for a first point conversation.

Thanks, I will  contact her.

From  the Instagram description I'm not sure it's what I'm after, but worth a conversation obviously!

Not being funny here but do you need to change your diet  for whatever reason or do you need someone to evaluate what you eat and what you should be eating.

plenty of info on line regarding this and also on nhs website. 
 
Or are you trying to find out what you are allergic or have a reaction to.

Sure you are tech savy and can research and try.

It isn’t rocket science!!

 

 

 

 

Look further down and there is your answer in Oru Centre - hop and skip away!!

Sorry, I know I post on here a lot/too much, but I'm not going into my medical issues on here.

If I could find the information I need online, I obviously wouldn't need to see a dietician!

Thanks for trying to help, though x

Health Matters in L Lane have a number of practitioners working from there - might include a dietician..

When I was first diagnosed with Type 11 diabetes some 15/20 years ago, I saw a dietician at Kings. I did not need to take medication for this condition until 18 months ago. 

Thanks Pugwash, that was the first thing I tried, but they don't have one.

That's strange, I thought I recommended [email protected] who is based at Oru but I can't see the post now!

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
