Hi Daisy,
Your friend is in denial. Your efforts to help her are admirable, but she doesn't want to hear it. Weren't you in denial too at some point? I know I was. I didn't want to hear the inevitable, even when I originally contacted Heather, almost 2 years ago, and even after I read "The First Year" the first time around. Heck, I was on the Boards here, and even started the hypnotherapy program while drinking my beloved cuppa joe. DUH.
You can lead a horse to water, but......
There's nothing more you can do to help your friend. But that doesn't mean she should bring you down. You know what you can and can't eat, so your entire focus should now be on YOU. I believe that, once you get yourself stable and are able to function more like a normal person, your friend will take notice and wake up to her own reality. Until then, your reminding her of it will only serve to distance her from you. It's all about denial.
Yes, I have the same symptoms you describe, although my D never turns to C. And now I very seldom cheat; when I do, it's never deliberately, because -- to me -- no food or drink is worth those cramps!
