This is a bit of a long shot. I am looking for recommendations for a metabolic disorders specialist, preferably NHS but will go private if necessary.
Basically my digestion has stopped working to the extent that I am more or less malnourished and kept alive by a battery of dietary supplements which I'm paying for myself. I have become intolerant to most foods.
I've had some private tests which indicate substantial nutritional deficiencies and likely mitochondrial problems. My GP is sympathetic and is doing blood tests for things like B12, folate, coeliac, thyroid etc, but has no idea who to refer me on to.
Most referrals to metabolic specialists would come after an acute crash and A&E visit and I've managed to avoid that so far.
Any ideas?
