Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Any insight,advice welcome. I have a client coming later this wk who desires wt. loss. She says she can't understand why she can't lose wt. However, my real ? refers to her reaction to certain foods. Client says with CHO's (from report I was able to infer grains/starches), ETOH, Chocolate, & caffeine that she has " cognitive cloudiness, gets tense, muscle weakness and insomnia " . She says she is able to tolerate 1 low carb. vanilla slim fast shake daily and makes shakes with protein powder in the a.m. From eating pattern questionnaire, she appears to be following an Atkins stlye diet,except lower in fat. Client reports MD unable to explain effects. Of course insomnia with caffeine is a no brainer. I ask her about any GI symptoms b/c my immediate thought was perhaps celiac, but she denied these. I don't typically work in this area, so any guidance would be appreciated. I also thought about the LEAP testing I've read so much about on this list. Anyone in the triad of NC do that? I recieve this list in digest form, so don't be offended if I don't reply until tomorrow. Thanks in advance for you help!
