Our dietitians can help you with nutrition-related issues if you have difficulties eating or a medical condition that limits your eating. They work with you to assess, determine and plan your diet. The guidance is always based on your eating habits, which will be assessed at the beginning of the appointment. If needed, your nutritional status or nutrient intake can be assessed even further. With personal and practical guidance, we support you in achieving your health-related goals and treating your condition.

Your needs for nutritional therapy will be assessed by a doctor, nurse or other social and health care professional, who will then refer you to the therapy. Nutritional therapy can help you with, for example:

- a long-term illness, such as coeliac disease, diabetes, kidney disease or inflammatory bowel disease
- specific weight management problems
- underweight or other form of malnutrition
- difficult functional bowel disorders
