Dietary Treatment

Therapeutic diets treat or manage a medical or physical condition. Good nutrition itself is therapeutic, but in certain conditions or symptoms, certain foods may need to be limited or avoided. My first priority using therapeutic diets is to alleviate symptoms and support healing. Meeting nutritional needs for growth is a key priority in children. Special attention is given to assessing and meeting needs for specific nutrients, either identified as deficient or low or where there are key benefits for the medical or physical condition. Diet interventions for children need careful planning to ensure they are nutritionally adequate, safe, manageable and effective. Trouble shooting, adapting recipes and understanding the changes in symptoms are all part of the review process.
