The UKBB's nutritional counselling service helps to find individual solutions and supports, advises and accompanies inpatients and outpatients as well as their relatives in all matters relating to nutrition. Qualified dietitians HF/FH work closely together in an interdisciplinary team of medical and healthcare professionals.

Range of services

The Nutritional counselling can be the method of choice in various situations. The aim is to ensure that the child is optimally nourished according to its needs and requirements. We instruct the family and accompany them on the way to new nutritional and behavioural patterns that are adapted to the patient's current health conditions. Everyone involved must feel at ease, as food plays a central role in family life.

In the following situations, a Nutritional counselling make sense:

for eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, obesity)
for metabolic diseases
for diseases of the digestive system
for kidney diseases
for malnutrition and malnourishment
for food allergies and food intolerances

If prescribed by a doctor, basic insurance covers the costs of nutritional counselling.

Obesity

The Nutritional counselling of the UKBB accompanies many overweight and severely overweight (obese) children and adolescents every year as part of outpatient care. Nutritional and behavioural therapy progresses step by step with the aim of enabling the child to eat a balanced and healthy diet without stressful restrictions.
