My mom was looking over this new medication that her doctor gave her today to help with her diarrhea. It's cholesterol medication. Specifically a medication that has caused recorded deaths. Apparently, the doctor prescribed it to her because one of the side effects is constipation, which she hopes will counteract the diarrhea. My mother realizes that this logic is completely absurd, but she still plans on taking the medication. When I asked her why she would do that she said, "Because the doctor told me to."

Sometimes I really hate having taken the red pill, so to speak.

Will she entertain the theory of finding out what is causing her stomach troubles rather than treating the symptoms (with poison)? Perhaps she has a food intolerance?

She's been going to doctors for years trying to find the cause of the problems, which are rather chronic. A few years ago, one of her doctors even mentioned celiac, and she made a weak attempt at gluten-free, but then she was sent to a different "specialist" and no one has brought up a food intolerance again. I've tried telling her multiple times that I think the issue may lie somewhere in her diet and that she should talk to her doctor about exploring that, but she either argues with or ignores me.

It sounds like she's so sick and tired of it that taking the medication will do something, ANYTHING, to make her better. It's so hard to sit and watch your parents make bad decisions but alas, we can only be supportive until they come to it on their own, right? Best of luck with your mom and the medication. I hope something works!

Cake+coffee is a godamn awesome combo.
It just is...
Haven't had both in a while..

Confession: I did this a couple of weeks ago because a friend of mine baked a special gluten-free Black Forest cake for me and sent me home with a leftover slice. I ate it as a pre-gym breakfast with a cup of coffee, and I was quite happy.

Doesn't Wii tell everyone they're fat? Brillant business plan, don't cha think?

My little cousin was setting me up with a Mii on her Wii Fit and she actually warned me that once I weighed myself (296 back then) that my Mii would balloon out.

Coworker 1: Nice tan, have you been on holiday?
Coworker 2: (before I could answer) Probably got jaundice from this "diet" he's on.
Me to coworker 1: From being outside a lot
Me to coworker 2: Jaundice from all that unprocessed food, fresh fruit and veg I eat? Go eat a mars bar chubby.

You'll go mad trying to read the Faily Mail. It is so much easer to Just Say No.

Plus at some point they'll have run a story about carbs causing cancer. What with them thinking everything causes cancer.

Shawn M, I had my own moment when I truly realized what I was doing was permanent.

I ate Indian the other day and my lactose intolerance made itself known very quickly and then I spent a very miserable night because I had some naan with it and had flu like symptoms, joints aching and pain ALL NIGHT. A day of pain killers and no glutens or starches and I felt better. I have learned my lesson: wheat is bad!

Maybe you could suggest your Mom try Primal after you show her my post.
