Medical profession search
In Switzerland, there are only private providers of doctor searches. The register of medical professions (MedReg) can be used to search for all licensed doctors with a federal or recognized foreign diploma. There is also the National Register of Healthcare Professions (NaReg), where you can also search for dietitians.

Please note: Only a doctor may make a diagnosis of food intolerance or food allergy. A sound diagnosis is not an easy undertaking and requires a great deal of knowledge and experience. It is therefore advisable to consult a suitably trained doctor. Other professional groups or providers of self-tests are not permitted to make diagnoses regarding intolerance and allergy. The period after the diagnosis should also be accompanied by a state-certified nutritionist who acts on behalf of the doctor.
Nutritional advice for food intolerance
Please note: the word “nutritionist” is not protected in many countries. This means that practically anyone can use this designation. Nevertheless, not everyone is allowed to advise you on your diet/disease. This also requires special training. In Austria, this is training as a dietician, in Germany, for example, as an ecotrophologist or dietician. Please note that your health is at stake here, so please make sure that your chosen nutritionist is state-qualified.
