Seeking recommendations for nutritionist to figure out food intolerances

[Anonymous]

I am looking for a nutritionist - in downtown DC or NoVa - who can help me figure out whether I have certain food intolerances. My primary goal is not weight loss (although losing 10 lbs would be a bonus). I eat a healthy diet for the most part, but I often feel mildly nauseous and just blah, and I am not pregnant. I suspect food issues and am hoping to find a nutritionist who can help me be a sleuth. Does anyone know of someone like this?

see an allergist or an immunologist, e.g., celiac is an autoimmune disease

You can do it yourself pretty easily

Strip your diet down to lean protein, veggies, fruits and water for two weeks

Add back one food group at a time and see how you feel (dairy for 2 weeks, then try adding wheat and see how you feel)

I second the Dr. Threkle at Restorative Health in F Heights, DC, she was such a help to me before I even knew I had any of these intolerances, I wasn't feeling well, and she worked with my insurance to do some VERY expensive
testing for a good price. If for any reason you cannot afford the testing, I would agree with the p. poster and go with a do it yourself kind of elimination. The only problem with that, is you may also be sensitive to certain veggies or fruits.
