Hi guys, asking a lots of various questions on here lately but I'm having a number of health issues. One of which appears to be some sort of gastro-like issues.
I also suffer with atrial fibrillation and one poster recently advised seeking out the help of a nutritionist to assist with both issues. Has anybody seen one, and how did it help?
I don't have the same diseases as you for starters, but seeing a nutritionist sure sounds like a good idea with any combination of diseases where food plays a role. For gastritis you will be put on an anti-inflammatory diet whereas with your afib you'll get a low blood pressure diet (or one that makes sure food doesn't interfere with any possible medicine you're taking). Anti inflammatory and low blood pressure diets tend to be pretty straightforward though and usually involves eliminating salt, sugar, coffee, alcohol, fried, fatty food and red meat from your diet. I'm not saying you won't learn anything but if you find relief from trying to change your diet in some basic manners at first, this will give the nutritionist some back story to work with.
If you're already on these types of diets then yes, consulting whether or not you're doing it correctly tends to be of great help. So you can move on to better things.
I've been to nutritionists for gastritis and slow bowel motility and for me it wasn't a life saver since I was already quite aware of how foods affect me and had tried all the relevant diets beforehand. But it's always a good idea to get the green light from a professional!! 
Hi DaveT781, I am a great believer that whatever we put in our mouth, skin, air we breathe and so on will affect out body. I am new to this site so I do not know the issues you are trying to address. However, if it is to do with gut then I think it is worth a try. Our gut is our second brain and what affects it affects the whole system.
DaveT81, for AF, have you tried Magnesium Taurate? For gastro issues, have you tried exploring bacterial overgrowth, food intolerance and allergy testing through diet elimination and reintroduction and assessing the negative or positive effects of these process?
If by nutritionist you mean nutritional therapist then yes - it made an amazing difference to my daughter. Everybody is different but a nutritional therapist works with you to work out what will work for you.
Make sure you see a dietician and not a nutritionist
Yes i had help from a naturopath she gave me a vega test to determine which foods digest best in my stomach and another gave me a blood test which cost 4 times as much and told me the same thing.
Probiotics are very good and many foods have them like sauerkraut etc, all the best !
