If you have any problems with your diet you can ask to be referred to a dietitian at your hospital. Your GP can also refer you. Qualified dietitians are experts in assessing dietary needs for people who are ill and they can review your diet. They have comprehensive knowledge of nutrition and dietetics and can advise you on which foods are best for you to eat and also whether any food supplements would be helpful in your situation. Many other people offer advice on diet or nutrition (e.g. nutritional therapists), but any training or professional practice they undertake is unregulated.
