Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Need Dx for friend...Thanx HV.

Heather - thanx so much for taking time out to answer this one. Like I told Mags, she's a tough cookie--won't even try Lactaid FF milk let alone soy or rice milk. She just crinkles up her nose when I mention it. What a wuss!

She didn't even know she had liver damage until they did an ultrasound. Don't know if it's healed or not. Then her friend told me she was dx'd w/GERD, too. Would GERD do the throw-up/diarrhea/nauseous thing too? I think she just wants someone to wave a magic wand over her head and say "abra cadabra" and she'll be all better. She's not a youngster, either (although she's 12 years younger than me--so, let's see, that makes her a Fall Chicken (vs. a Spring Chicken or an Old Crow like me!)

I'm also going to print out your answer and read it to her. Maybe it'll start to sink in. It doesn't sound like she's pressuring the docs to get to the bottom of this. I think she'll be with us tomorrow night and I'll let her have it, New Jersey style!!!

Thanks, again. You're a doll (no matter what Will says!) Love ya!
