Kansas City Dietitian
About
The Kansas City Dietitian Collective (or KCRD Collective, for short) is a team of expert registered dietitians passionate about helping you find solutions to your complex health issues through personalized nutrition and integrative health practices.
EDS Healthcare in Kansas
Kansas does not have an in-state EDS Center of Excellence, but Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri — located just across the state line — is an EDS Society Center of Excellence. The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City also has a genetics department. Western Kansas patients may consider programs in Colorado.
Eastern Kansas residents benefit from close proximity to Kansas City's resources. However, central and western Kansas are among the most underserved areas in the region, with drives of 3-5 hours to reach any EDS specialist. Telehealth is essential for patients in these areas.
Finding Nutrition / Dietetics for EDS
Ask whether the dietitian has experience with the EDS-related conditions that affect eating, including gastroparesis, MCAS food triggers, and SIBO.
