Anyone know of any good nutritionist out there? I'm the worst.

This lady is apparently one of the best nutritionist in town, she has a segment on CBC radio too. I've hear really good things though I don't think she's particularly cheap http://www.danihealth.com/

Recommendation for a dietician I've been struggling with diet for a while, complicated by IBS. Calories in Calories out, paleo, low fodmap, (etc), I've tried them all. I...

I struggled with IBS for almost a decade.
I also went to the doctor, gastroenterologist, dietician, etc.
It felt like nothing helped. I really had to figure it out by myself which resulted in some insight regarding several things:
1. Certain foods really irritate my digestive system. Mainly, milk/cream, alcohol, and overly processed foods (packaged meals, chips).
To combat this I changed my diet. I try to eat a healthy, balanced diet full of soluble fiber (cooked veggies). Insoluble fiber (raw veggies) can exacerbate ibs symptoms.
2. My IBS was stress related. I ended an unhealthy relationship and finished my schooling. My IBS was almost completely gone after that.
3. I exercise a lot more now. I run a couple days a week, go for long walks on some days, or go to the gym.
If you've tried many dietary options, maybe it's time to target stress relief. Exercise does double duty here by helping to reduce stress and improve your health. But if you have chronic sources of stress then exercise is just a bandaid solution.
Also, please for the love of science do not go to a naturo/homeopath. There is not a shred of evidence to back these practices.
Finally, I'm not just talking out of my ass with these suggestions. I have two degrees in the health field and stress is a largely underrated factor in terms of affecting health and making conditions like IBS worse.
So, what is your current diet like? What are your sources of stress? Do you exercise? What coping mechanisms do you use for handling daily stress?
Edit: I should add, I've lost 30lbs in the last 6 months using CICO and exercising. But I couldn't have focused on those two things without first addressing stress.

You and I are in the same boat. I'm not looking for a dietitian, but I have some of the same issues and tried some of the same fads. If you want a support partner, I'm around!

Once I got rid of bread and tomatoes my farts where less of a ziclon A and more like zlicon B. Seriously post back I'd love to know what experience people have with dieticians. Yeah bread holds food, it is not food.

I used to have to deal with IBS. Went to multiple doctors and specialists. Solved nothing. I went to Dr. Jasmine Wong at Vancouver Island Naturopathic clinic. I was sceptical about seeing a naturopath. She set me on a path in which I was able to get on track to eliminate my IBS. www.islandnaturopathic.com/meet-our-team/

Pacific rim college offers free nutrition consults with teachers or students completing a diploma program. It's a great free alternative if money is tight or a starting point
Can someone tell me the best courses to take for becoming a dietitian? Ive looked into it a lot but I need a hands on opinion. Thanks!

You can check out http://www.uvic.ca/shared/shared_rootsite/documents/pdfs/PreProfessionalGuide.pdf to give you an idea of what you'll need to take, but you're certainly best to see an academic advisor to double check. (this pdf is a year old)

Club Phoenix in Langford is really good. And if you're really lucky you might get a glimpse of me flexing in front of the mirror all oiled up and wearing a tank top that says "do you even lift, bro" lol
