VIP Dietitian Service: Joceline’s Experience
Here is the testimony of one of our members, Joceline, who, after suffering a lot without really knowing what was wrong with her, had a very positive experience with the FODMAP* diet and our VIP Dietitian service.
I am a new retiree. I started having some health issues related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (which I still didn’t know at the time) while I was still working. At the time I was under a lot of stress, a lot of pressure, I was traveling often too then, so it was difficult to have a stable and regular eating schedule. We almost always went to restaurants; and that didn’t help much either. And so when I stopped working unfortunately I was already quite affected by the problem. I was experiencing a lot of discomfort, I had a lot of insomnia and even though I was in menopause, that wasn’t really what was causing my insomnia…
I tried to consult but my doctor, I think, did not do the thorough research that was necessary. And then there it kind of got worse; I had an infection, or so I thought. I had a lot of stomach aches, I had diarrhea all the time, I had trouble functioning or doing any activity but the medical tests were inconclusive. As a consequence of a colonoscopy I had two polyps removed and finally, in 2020-2021, I had a salmonella infection. They had me do blood tests and that’s when they detected that I had lost a lot of blood and was dangerously anemic. At the end I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
[…] I discovered SOSCuisine services, indirectly thanks to my doctor who advised me to consult with a dietitian. I did my search on the internet and came across the SOSCuisine website. The fact that they offer diversified recipes reassured me a lot insofar as I am a person who likes to eat a healthy and vafoods. I also really appreciated theire weekly meal plans with matching shopping list; that helped me a lot. This service took away the stress of thinking all the time about what I should eat. Beside the fact of being followed by an expert dietitian also helped me enormously; she was very clear in her explanations, always present when I needed her. I really appreciated her support because I was no longer left alone. I could ask her all kinds of questions down to the smallest detail; she was there all the time for me !
Now I feel much more in control of my body and my needs, I feel stronger and I have a lot more willpower to be able to continue on my own.
[…] I really loved my SOSCuisine experience, moreover I intend to switch now to the Mediterranean meal plan to lose a little weight. And I can say that it marked me so much and above all it helped me relieve all my pain that I can’t stop talking about it around me. And since then, I often recommend their services to those around me.
