Any nutritionists/Dr's/ blood lab tech's/specialists in the house?

[curves2000]

I am trying to analyze some recent lab results that have varied quite a bit within a very short time frame, as in a few days in some cases. One day completely normal and the other day out of range.

Dr says all is well and we will repeat test in a few months. Do the exact same thing and the same wide variation on 2 different tests on different days/weeks.

Dr doesn't seem concerned and I have tried to analyze as best as I can online with research. Trying to figure out how much of an influence diet the day or days before a test may be affect results amongst other things. I assume it has some affect but is it materially important or not.

Please and thanks!

I'm a pharmacist and would give you general info on some lab findings, but I'll leave the interpretation of any results to the physician who'd have a more complete picture

Also you want a Registered Dietician, that's the legally protected term.

Registered Dietician is to Nutritionist as Dentist is to Toothiologist.

Is this term Seinfeld-approved?

No, but it is Dara O'Briain approved. It's in the 'Nutrition' chapter around 10:30 in. Whole bit is hilarious.
