Appointment With A Dietician
[ Friday April 6th 2018 at 9:59 am ]

I've completed an appointment I requested with a dietitian. There were very specific questions I had going into the appointment. I provided these before the appointment. The dietitician prepared handouts for me in advance. I have a lot of material to review as I make decisions about how to tweak my diet.

With my use of chronic pain medication one of the questions I had was what are my options to maintain regular bowel movements. I was given an innovative suggestion: Engage in a chair based exercise program. This hasn't been tried on me before. This is going to be along the lines of a maintenance regime and unlikely to encourage healing. It is worth trying once and seeing how I feel during the days which follow. The next class is Monday afternoon.
