Somewhere on this blog I remembered reading about a facility in El Segundo that did training and nutrition but for the life of me I can't locate it. I am looking for a nutritionist primarily at the moment for my son. He is trying to gain weight, eats tons of calories, is extremely fit, very toned and muscular...BUT has started gagging on foods. I am worried that he will develop problems with his digestive system if he doens't get someone to guide him better on his goals.

Maybe start with your pediatrician to make sure there is not a physical issue going on and for a recommendation or referral for the nutritionist. Then, I would check with a dietitian/nutritionist at a children's hospital in your area to tackle the gagging issue.
Yeah, he's almost 18 so he sees a regular doctor. I am not a doctor but have a bit of experience in this field. I really think that he is just trying to hard to gorge himself on calories. He gags mostly on these weight gainer shakes which are really thick. He needs a sports nutrition plan with high density nutrient content. These kids never listen to their parents though.
I would look to see if one of your local hospitals has a sports nutritionist on staff as a part of their sports medicine staff.
