Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well most doctors think outdated diet sheets and handouts from drug companies are adequate patient education for diet as well.... They shouldn't let drug reps educate them any more than we should let food company reps educate us, but they do..... Dietitians aren't any better... I heard one of our own on TV in Toledo claiming that Splenda wasn't absorbed by the GI tract. <sigh> They use sucralose in gut permeability studies to track the DEGREE of absorption through appearance in the urine. ..

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Sadly, these people don't know about testing for Adverse Food Reactions. . . maybe one of these days they'll actually have a LEAP RD working with them! But, we do know that " allergy testing " isn't effective, since most allergy testing is just looking at type 1 and Type 3 food reactions, not type 4. We also know " avoidance diets " aren't much help. Full elimination diets can be very helpful, however, as all of us LEAP RDs have learned.
