Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 , I feel I have to put my two cents worth in about vitamins as well. Please be very, very careful taking vitamins because some can do a lot of damage if taken in large doses. I also went to a Nutritionist earlier this year and discovered that my health fund would not even cover the fees, but they do cover Dietitians' fees. I don't know if this is the case everywhere, but it seems that the training for a Nutritionist is different but also on a lower level than for a Dietitian. I would be a bit skeptical about her claims. If vitamins really could help in the treatment of AIH so easily, surely it would be part of the standard treatment for all of us by now. If you are still determined to try the vitamins, just check with your Gastro........see what he says.
