I have a friend who is a D (I'm a C). She actually recommended her GI who I liked and diagnosed me in about 30 minutes of talking. He never did her, but she ended up (I think by mistake) with his associate who did indeed FINALLY diagnos her with IBS. I loaned her _The First Year_ book and she actually bought one for herself but refuses to follow much of any of it. Fine. Case closed. When we go out with she and her husband and she's eating biscuits and gravy for bkfst. and I'm eating oatmeal or plain toast and egg beaters I just tell her how lucky she is she can eat those things without an attack. (For some reason she actually can.) I would say to you what is the friendship worth? Is it worth risking loosing just because you are trying to help? Remember you can do everything in your power to help (it's frustrating I know) but you still can't "save someone from themself". Hope this helps.
