When you screen positive for food intolerances (or other health conditions that need specialist diet therapy) who should you ask: dietician or nutritionist?

The difference between a dietician and a nutritionist.

A dietician uses their scientific skills to devise eating plans for patients to treat medical conditions (see HPC - Health Professions Council).
A nutritionist applies nutrition science in the promotion of optimum health and peak performance, disease prevention and patient care (see BANT British association of Nutrionists)

Only a dietician can create a special menu that takes into account your dietary needs and level of activity, and use that diet to treat your symptoms.
