Specializes in Psychiatry

See nutritionist: Please see: https://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/060109p34.shtml . It is recommended that people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome get a complete nutritional assessment. The nutritionist can then identify problem areas and work with you on a treatment plan. Take care.
