A
few
months
ago,
I
went
to
a
DNA
Milan
nutritionist
for
health
problems
not
related
to
weight.
The
nutritionist
planned
a
diet
for
a
month,
but
also
prescribed
expensive
laboratory
tests
performed
during
the
first
visit
to
her
office
(consider
that
among
tests
of
food
intolerances
and
intestinal
flora
-
which
other
nutritionists
and
doctors
consider
of
dubious
reliability
-
and
visit
I
spent,
in
this
first
session,
around
€500).
One
would
expect
that
after
spending
such
an
amount,
the
doctor
would
at
least
take
the
time
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
explain
the
test
results.
But
no,
this
is
done
in
the
next
check-up
visit
(60
euros).
Even
though
the
216
foods
are
all
green
(apart
from
cashews),
therefore
no
intolerance,
the
doctor
tells
me
to
remove
from
my
diet
all
the
foods
that
have
two
or
three
green
dots
instead
of
just
one
(in
the
explanation
sent
by
the
laboratory,
instead
,
it
is
said
to
eliminate
yellow
or
red
foods
for
a
certain
period
and
to
eat
green
ones
without
problems).
I
end
up
thinking
that
the
doctor
says
this
because
spending
over
€200
to
be
told
that
you
are
intolerant
to
cashews
would
seem
a
bit
like
that,
but
-
in
fact
-
this
is
the
response
based
on
what
the
laboratory
wrote.
In
this
further
check-up,
I
am
given
a
genetic
test
for
celiac
disease
to
understand
what
is
causing
my
problem
(which
is
also
unclear
to
other
specialists).
Another
€150
or
more,
I
don't
remember
the
exact
amount
but
we
are
on
these
sums.
Do
you
think
that
this
time
the
doctor
bothered
to
call
me
or
at
least
write
an
email
to
comment
on
the
result
sent
anonymously
by
the
laboratory?
Absolutely
not.
We
see
that
spending
around
€800
in
two
visits
is
not
enough
to
have
a
vaguely
personalized
treatment.
He
didn't
even
let
me
know
how
to
change
my
diet
which,
in
theory,
I
had
to
continue
for
another
ten
days
and
he
left
me
without
telling
me
how
to
continue.
I
must
add
that,
specifically,
I
didn't
appreciate
the
doctor's
overly
informal
attitude
either:
we
are
not
friends
or
relatives,
I
expect
friendly
but
professional
treatment.
Phrases
like:
“I
didn't
ask
you
how
the
f*ck”
should
not
be
heard
coming
from
the
mouth
of
a
doctor
speaking
to
a
patient.
Finally,
a
nutritionist
who
defines
herself
and
presents
herself
on
the
site
as
an
"expert
in
vegetarian
or
vegan
nutrition"
should
be
able
to
guide
a
person
in
this
diet,
not
try
to
convince
her
that
-
thanks
to
her
studies
-
she
has
realized
that
a
balanced
nutrition
contains
a
bit
of
everything.
I
lived
for
7
years
in
Great
Britain
where
the
vegetarian
diet
is
promoted
by
the
National
Health
System
as
a
healthy
and
balanced
alternative
that
can
save
the
healthcare
system
money
by
combating
diseases
such
as
hypercholesterolemia,
cardiovascular
problems
and
so
on.
I
understand
that,
in
my
case,
there
was
a
need
to
eliminate
legumes,
cheeses
and
eggs
at
least
for
a
while
and
therefore
I
agreed
to
reintroduce
fish,
but
-
I
repeat
-
presenting
myself
as
a
vegetarian
and
vegan
nutritionist
means
being
a
guide
for
those
who
decide
to
undertake
or
continue
diets
of
this
type
for
ethical
and/or
health
reasons.
I
conclude
by
saying
that
I
will
not
go
to
this
center
again
and
I
hope
that
my
review
can
be
useful
to
someone.
