It is hard to say, she should be getting counseling from a dietician at the doctor's.

I hear you Mrs. D, but that's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS LIFETIME.
Some people never listen and never learn (until they wind up in the hospital). So far, she's been very lucky. She hasn't been to a doctor in YEARS. Her whole family has a history of colon cancer and everyone else gets regular colonoscopies, etc. Not her. And she doesn't eat anything that contains B-12. She'll just eat any kind of fast food and then she'll go to the bathroom.

Thanks much for your information.
