[quote=Anonymous]My mother is 76 but feels 90. She has lots of autoimmune diseases and battles inflammation from lupus and bone loss from long-term steroid use. Recently she went on a gluten-free vegan diet and her inflammation has improved. Her doctors are amazed and encourage her to continue with it. But she has gained 30 pounds in six months and is depressed all the time. I'm wondering if she gets too much soy. I know she eats much more than her activity level requires, but she feels deprived if she doesn't. Can anyone recommend a good dietician in NoVa who can guide her in establishing a plan for someone with severe health issues and extremely low activity level. I am desperate to help her but don't know what to do. I was researching books but her needs are so specific, I'm beyond my skill set. Thanks.[/quote]
