quoteFor years I thought I was doing all the right things with my diet. I ate high fiber, plant-based foods with meat adding protein. With a very stressful job I began to eat like the idiot I knew I could be. The large drawer in my desk contained a stash of crackers, chips, and chocolate. I knew it wasn’t good for me, but it did help me get through the day. After retirement I turned things around and started eating more logically, high fiber, and protein.
In October of last year, I started to experience significant GI problems. After 8 months of testing and talking to doctors I was provided a diagnosis of SIBO. I was prescribed antibiotics and a low FODMAP diet. What the heck did that mean? I was very confused and needed to find someone who could help guide me through this maze. I found Eda online and found that she heard what I had to say, it was obvious from the beginning that she did not discount any of my symptoms and has a deep understanding of what I need to do.
Her knowledge of nutrition and her respect for food as more than just sustenance, but as cultural and community connection were what drew me to want to work with her. She frequently puts things into perspective for me and makes a diet that is right now restrictive into something I can live with.unquote
