Nutritionist in Bristol/Somerset ?

[izz]

Many apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I did consider K&S but decided to put it in here.

Can anyone recommend a good nutritionist in Bristol/Somerset ? I'm aware replying via open forum may be considered advertising so please PM me if you know of a good'un.

If you're interested, I have problems absorbing vitamin B12 from my diet and get a lot of acid reflux/nausea, probably as a result of the B12 thing, and would like to try and address it via diet rather than constantly necking antacids.

thanks for listening, have a delightful day

Look for one that's a qualified dietitian not just a 'nutritionist'.

'Nutritionist' is a meaningless and totally unregulated title. I could sell myself as a nutritionist, as you could you. Ben Goldacre got his cat a qualification as a nutritionist. Dietitian on the other hand is a title it's illegal to use unless you're properly qualified.

Will your GP not refer you to a dietician?

Hang on, are you an American? You get let off if so...

Quite possibly, but I live and work 30 miles apart, so would want one close to work for convenience.

Should still be doable - use the words 'patient choice' if needs be.

Some interesting charlatans, I mean 'nutritionists', can probably be found very easily in Glastonbury High Street
