Is your friend a " normie " or a WLS'er? I think it would be unusual that the

caps would be very helpful to a WLS'er bcuz we malabsorb fats and oils.

As for the seeds being too much trouble, is it the mixing or sprinkling she

objects to, or the bizniz of grinding and storing..........bcuz they are

available already ground up.
