Tina Patnode is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with 24 years of experience providing Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for individuals with gastrointestinal conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Celiac disease, and Gastroparesis. In addition, she works with those who have not received a definitive diagnosis but suffer from nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, acid reflux, abdominal bloating, distension, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
For several years, Tina worked as a GI Dietitian for a Gastroenterology Clinic in Portland, Oregon where she was able to broaden her expertise as a GI-focused Dietitian.
Tina has always had a dream to start her own private practice. So, that is exactly what she did! In 2018, Tina founded GI Nutrition NW, LLC and opened her office in Southwest Portland. In March of 2020, Tina began providing Telehealth to those who reside in Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, and Colorado.
Outside of her thriving private practice, Tina is advancing her practice as an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. She offers functional stool testing and micronutrient testing.
Tina recognizes that each person is unique and has specific needs. She will develop a diet and nutritional plan that is tailored to get you on track to optimal digestive health.
Tina firmly believes that to be successful, you need more than a list of what not to eat; you need to know what you can eat. With the support and guidance of a well-versed and knowledgeable dietitian like Tina, the success-rate of diet and nutrition therapy is vastly increased.
