Kristin,

did the doctor test your friend to see if her kidneys are being stressed? Or did he/she just say that knowing your friend was following a low carb diet?

I am the type of person that questions my doctor if I don't understand why they are saying what they are saying to me.

I guess I am not cautious in telling people because I have seen proof in studies plus those on this board who have been on this WOL for years without a problem. I would never talk about anything with conviction if I did not have something to back me up.

I am not encouraging anyone to run off and tell others something if I, myself, am leary about it. Believe me, with all of the meds I am taking, I would not want anyone else to have to go through any medical problems!
