[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is something called registered dietician nutritionist, so I’d check first. [/quote]
That individual will never call themselves just a nutritionist. Look for the degree/licensing, folks. They will have RD or RDN after their name. Some states also have LDNs.[/quote]

Yes, but they may be referred to by others as a nutritionist. So if someone says "let me recommend my nutritionist..." it doesn't necessarily mean they are recommending a hack.

Our pediatrician gave us a list of "nutritionists" to help with DD's eating/weight issues -- they were all registered dietitians. You'd think a doctor's office would use the right term and yet they didn't. The person we saw (from that list) was phenomenal and our pediatrician is also great (the rec to talk to someone was timely and smart and helped us deal with some food avoidance and pickiness issues before they became a health issue).

Some people just use inexact terms or don't realize a term they are using is inexact.[/quote]
