9th June: Diet and ME/CFS and Long COVID with Sue Luscombe

Sue Luscombe, Registered Dietitian, has an extensive NHS career spanning over 44 years, mostly working in Bedfordshire.  She has expertise in diabetes, weight management, nutrition support and IBS.  She has also over 15 years’ experience in ME/CFS and more recently supported those with Long COVID.  Sue is the ME Association’s Honorary Dietetic Advisor and has helped write two ME cookbooks, published in 2021 and 2022.   She has written for the British Dietetic Association Food facts sheets on Long COVID, and ME/CFS.  These are freely available from the BDA website.

Sue will explore what the latest evidence says about diet, nutrition and what the recommendations are from the updated NICE guidelines on ME/CFS.  She will also share her experience of writing guidelines for
diet and Long COVID. Are the nutrition and diet recommendations different?

Sue has asked if she could please have any questions ahead of time so she can cover this in
her talk in context, rather than briefly at the end. She says “I deliver sessions to the local NHS Long
COVID clinic group and find it so helpful if I know what is most important to those in the group – and
it is different each time and has been anything from weight management or unwanted weight loss, to supplements to diabetes/prediabetes after Covid to PoTS.”

If you have any questions or particular topics you wish her to cover, please do message Nia or Ben and we will pass them on.

As usual and for all sessions mentioned in this issue this will be on our usual Zoom account with the same log in details as usual. Meeting ID 777 116 5459 Passcode “smeg”. We will “open the doors” at 10.30am
and the session will start at 11am. You do not need to have your cameras turned on if you do not want to.
