Fantastic list!! Some gastro clinics include the dietitian and mental health professionals in the care team which is really nice- but it seems to vary so much by location!

Thank you! It’s so nice when there’s a whole team in place. My doctor did suggest I see a dietitian but I had to find one on my own. And I definitely wasn’t prepared for the mental health effects, so it took me a while to start therapy!

It really is harder to peice it together- and find the right providers!

This is a great list! I haven’t done (or have had done) most of these things. I’ve never seen a dietitian or a mental health specialist. I didn’t know we should have our bone density checked.

Thank you! My doctor just mentioned the bone density scan to me at my most recent appointment (5 years after my diagnosis). I definitely think working with a dietitian and mental health professional can be really helpful!
