5. have you experienced a learning curve related to nutrition since dx? YES
6. have you changed your nutrition (dietary, testing, supplement) habits since dx? Yes, many times. Lol
7. if yes, would you say that decision to change was connected to a post-dx learning curve? Yes
8. i) have you had nutrient testing since dx? ii) if yes, were the results normal? iii) if yes, were you satisfied with that answer? Yes. Some normal, some not. Satisfaction depended on whether supplementing normal low nutrient resulted in improvement.

thx

Edit: if you are asking if your nutritional info is of value, I would loudly proclaim "hell yeah!" or "DUH!" depending on my mood.

The underestimated problem of using serum magnesium measurements to exclude magnesium deficiency in adults; a health warning is needed for "normal" results.

1. did you receive basic nutrition info growing up? Yes--the basic food pyramid in school.
2. would you have said that your nutrition status was fine prior to dx? Yes-- I thought it was.
3. did you consider your diet to be basically healthy prior to dx? I thought it was healthy, yes... but now I know it was terrible.
4. i) had you had nutrient testing before dx? ii) if yes, were the results normal? iii) if yes, were you satisfied with that answer? Never had nutrient testing until Joan started bothering me after dx.
5. have you experienced a learning curve related to nutrition since dx? Yes, in a big way.
6. have you changed your nutrition (dietary, testing, supplement) habits since dx? Yes, completely. Much more vegetables, less meat. Way less sugar or gluten. No more "white foods" A bunch of supplements.
7. if yes, would you say that decision to change was connected to a post-dx learning curve? Yes. That and Joan making me change.
8. i) have you had nutrient testing since dx? ii) if yes, were the results normal? iii) if yes, were you satisfied with that answer?
Yes, I've had some tested...vitamin D3, B12, zinc, mg and complete blood panel are all in normal or high normal range. Also, cholesterol and inflammation are normal now. I'm satisfied with answer, but I go more by how I feel. Joan keeps track of the numbers.
thx
