I'm so very sorry your friend gave you a hard time.
One thing I have learned since the diagnosis of my dd's severe food allergies is that there are some people who just don't want to get it. For some reason, their need to be right is more important to them. I have no respect for these people. They are sad, sad souls. I have just learned it best to keep them out of our lives as much as possible.
The funny thing is, it's usually people you wouldn't think would be this way: a nurse, someone who also has suffered ana., and sadly, people who you thought really cared about you and your child. In order to survive emotionally, you just have to write them off as pathetic and move on.
Hugs to you. You're not alone.

my friend asked why i'm taking my dd trick or treating when all her candy will touch nuts. i said she doesnt eat any of it primarily because they aren't labeled (didnt want to get into it with this one who doesnt get it so gave her that explaination). she says why don't you save the candy for the kids who will eat it. that's the dumbest thing i've heard all day. your going to baby her forever. then she starts telling me about a friend who's dd sits with others at the lunch table and eat all her candy and is deathly allergic to peanuts. i just say well thats her choice. i say you dont get it so dont bash me for keeping my kid safe. she says she does get it because of her friend.
i can't believe she said these things to me wait yes i can she's always on me about it and i am now going to stop talking to her. i dont need her bashing me. thanks had to vent somewhere.
