I honestly wasn't paying too much attention to the conversation really; Although I've known her for twenty years she's more a friend of my wife's friend. She could eat other foods but when eating out it was just much safer to order a salad and be done with it. We ate at nice Pizza place and she had salad and two meat balls.

She was telling us how she got these pains in her stomach that hurt so much that she would cramp up in pain.

I think Cory's post summed up her situation well. A pizza place is not a great idea . . . . and I would expect a wheat product in the meatballs. I would hope so anyway.

I am really glad to hear I could serve as a positive influence on this stuff, I know I had people like Monica I could ask questions to when I first went through it, among others. Ironically, I still, to some degree, view my being so public about my diet as a really dumb move. People think of food as religion and an emotional crutch, when they see how you eat or how you speak of how you eat, they get fired up. I try to fly under the radar. haha

Lets all do lunch. We do a lot of juicing at L3 these days : )
