For a number of years, I've been living with collagenous colitis. Diet and over-the-counter medications kept me reasonably flare-free most of the time. However, this past March, my symptoms returned with a vengeance and nothing prevented frequent bouts of diarrhea. After several months of no improvement, recommendations that I see a nutritionist led me to the office of Beth Goldfarb. I was unsure if she would have the knowledge to address my multiple health concerns or was only able to assist in weight loss, but I felt it was worth a try. A few minutes in her office convinced me that this nutritionist is more than knowledgeable. She displayed a familiarity with my disorders and the medications used to treat them. Even though I do not have celiac disease, she recommended a gluten-free diet and worked out a plan to help me regain the thirty pounds I've lost over the past year. The results speak for themselves: I've been symptom-free for over a month and the weight is slowly but surely coming back on. Beth Goldfarb's expertise makes her a valuable member of my health care team.
