I am pretty sure her diet was fairly meat heavy, though she also claims there is a family history of it. What is driving me nuts is she swears her doctor told her she could pretty much only get protein from cheese and eggs. I call bullshit. It is, of course, her life but I hate to see a friend hurt because they just gave up on trying not to hurt.
