Quote: You think it is making him feel good or that he will actually listen to you?
I think that if he comes to a message board specifically meant for discussing IBS and ASKS for opinions then I should expect that by offering suggestions, he might listen and consider what I have to say. It may not make him feel good, but it could help him, so I don't see anything wrong with it.
Quote: Of course he can still bodybuild, maybe he can't eat exactly like he was told a bodybuilder should eat, but so what. He's willing to change the diet.
Again, I never said he shouldn't work out or even give up bodybuilding completely. I simply suggested that he change the way he does it to see if it could possibly help. Does he have to do it at such a competitive level? No, of course he doesn't HAVE to. He could tone it way down, eat a more "normal" diet and see what happens. He could also completely ignore this suggestion (as he has been thus far) and that's the beauty of a message board - it doesn't matter! It's his prerogative to accept or dismiss any advice offered.
I'm confused why it would bother you that someone would offer solicited advice that could possibly help someone else. I'm not offering it to you, so why the offense?
