[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 321825, member: 7083"] I've read report after report about how doctors really don't talk nutrition with their patients. It's a very small part of their education in medical school. And there is the assumption that patients aren't going to follow it and want an easy fix, so they throw medications at it. When I had my heart attack, I was told to go on a diabetic type diet by one cardiologist and just to cut out saturated fats by another. But, neither one offered any information on just exactly what that would be. As I had never had a weight or health problems in the past, I was really ignorant of what was good and what wasn't. Seriously, with all the doctors I've seen, only one has suggested different types of diets - to see if any of my issues are food related - and I only saw him one time - because other than what he offered he couldn't help me. So, when you talk with difficult child's doctor, I would really push for him/her to discuss this issue with difficult child and see about a referral to a nutritionist. [/QUOTE]
