While diagnosing is notwithin the RDN’s scope of practice, we can help clients with symptom management.The comprehensive nature of RDNs’ counseling sessions permit us to dig a bitdeeper into solving the complex mystery of what may be ailing patients and clients— without invasive diagnostics! This webinar will discuss food allergies/intolerances, SIBO, FODMAP, IBS, motility issues, and GERD and provide practicalstrategies for assisting with symptom management.This webinar will be presented by Felicia D.
