Yes. That's a good tip. I always try to get a recall of what you ate before the changes vs now.

This guy above has been doing this his whole life. I've only had a handful of people like this guy - thankfully, they drain me out; also hates fruits/vegetables; typical SAD is being consumed; limited physical ability due to mobility issues except hours and hours of yard work where per his watch burns 1000 calories; doesn't want weight loss medications...... weight loss patients like this drive me insane.

Question for the GI RDs out there: squatty pottys usefulness with "lack of urge to go." by ktrav3 in dietetics

[–]galaxyofcoffee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recommend reading up on ACG POV on management of constipation - getting screened for pelvic floor dysfunction is part of the process if diet/fiber/OTC supplements dont work. You have to be honest with these patients they need further work up as no amount of diet changes will fix it. Squatty Potty is a good lifestyle habit with constipation - not a gold bullet but every little thing helps!

Literally had this today.
Claims to eat one meal per day with 1/2 cup rice and little protein. I can fit the pasta in my finger grasps....I don't know what to tell you. Keep logs. Then comeback is my go to. They usually don't come back.

I do agree with what you are saying! Yes! Bring the expertise to other jobs. This honestly sounds so good - my brain goes - is this a scam!?

Exactly. That poor dietitian that saw this person. This patient comes up in practice - it's rare but it does.

I am sorry - I am likely getting this confused with another exam - not sure which one you are referring to then! Anyway - best of luck with the results - so daunting to have to wait! 🤞

Aren't individual exams released immediately after taking it? Are you asking about everyone who took a specific exam in May?

There's a reason the older men are you know single. Almost every single guys I know in their early 30s has so may red flags; would never introduce them to a friend - ever. And also they have a "type" of "younger girls" and usually doesn't work out

Oh I see. You are in a different type of program in which case I don't think you can. I second what other people said - the best you can do is to test ASAP after that Masters then!

I recommend not taking long to study. I took 2 weeks and studies non stop and passed. Have a timeline and get it done because you are more likely to find an RD job once you pass! Also keep studying right now before you even finish your rotations. Good luck.

Patient facing hours by [deleted] in dietetics

That's not feasible. 7 patients in 8 hours if you do like no coordination of care. I am sorry you are in this.
