MY FRIEND IS SICK! WHATS WRONG?


QUESTION:

my friend has been really sick lately, randomly too. she says that if feels like "a little man is in her stomach and lungs and randomly stabbing her" she is a vegetarian and already has really low iron. she always says that the fact that shes vegetarian is getting her sick, she has been one for a year. she doesn't starve herself, nor eat too much. we tell her to go to the doctor but she says her mom just thinks shes just complaining and wont take her to the doctor. what do you think is wrong with her and is there anyway she can make herself better at home? she is planning on going back to eating meat.

JOHNNYDOLLAR ANSWERS:

Your friend may claim to be a vegetarian but her statement of "feels like a little man is in her stomach" proves otherwise. She is pregnant. I know what you're saying, "No she's not. She's never been with anyone. We're saving ourselves for marriage. We will both be vegetarians on our wedding night." Well Sammy, seems like you're the only vegetarian in the whole bunch. Your friend lost her vegetinity along time ago. She does need to go to the doctor. There, he will confirm that she is indeed, not a vegetarian. I'd drop her now. If not, you'll probably end up on Maury Povich.

I CAN'T STOP EATING, CRAP!!!!?


QUESTION:

I cant stop eating food, especially icecream. All I want to do is eat. For instance, I cant be happy with just watching a movie, my hands have to be moving.. to my mouth... with gummi bears. Its ridiculous. I'm not a heifer but this is getting out of hand. I want to control my appetite and not eat like a fat bulldog.

JOHNNYDOLLAR ANSWERS:

As a trained dietitian, let me tell you that eating your own fecal matter is not healthy! I know it can become a habit and it is often delicious, especially if you've eaten corn, but it can really be detrimental to your health. Going cold turkey can create a withdrawl, so try stepping down gradually. Soon you'll be off the brown stuff.
