Well, that's my question too, actually. Okay, keep in mind that I've never met this woman (I know, I know...boyfriend keeps putting it off...). Anyway, she's in her mid-50s (I think around the same age as my mom, maybe a bit older), lost a great deal of weight in the last few years but is still on the heavy side, smokes, works very, very long hours so doesn't get much sleep, and works as a cook so she doesn't cook for herself when she gets home--too burned out. (Oh, this sounds so unflattering, I hope she never accesses the boards!  ) I don't know how long she's had the IBS diagnosis--I've talked to her about quitting smoking (she's in the process right now) and about the diet, but I'm not sure she's interested. Finally, just recently she was diagnosed with fatty liver after being hospitalized for several days with a fever and dehydration and having a ton of tests come back negative. That's about all I know, and it doesn't form a coherent picture for me. I guess that's what I'm looking for--a coherent picture. Does that make sense?
