I have diarrhea. My parent's solution for this is to give me laxatives, then yell at me when I point this out to them. When I refuse to drink the laxative I am yelled at to 'Fucking drink it now'

Is it Milk of Magnesia? I know there is a medicine that fixes diarrhea but is a laxative if you drink beyond that amount.

No, It's a product named Metamucil

[TheBiggerFish]

That's... What even.

[Graknorke]

Do they know what laxatives are/do?

[Neonivek]

Well I checked

Metamucil CAN treat Diarrhea

If and ONLY if it is caused by irritable bowel syndrome... and even then it isn't a cure it only seems to aid in it.

[Rolan7]

Plenty of people in English speaking countries that don't drag out their vowels like they do they television series will contract 'your' to rhyme with 'cur'.

Yeah my family lives in the deep south sooooo...
Some of them were even farmers, which makes a difference too.  City folks tend toward the neutral pronunciations on network TV.

I pointed it out to them. I'm meant to drink it three times a day but I've already dodged Breakfast, and I'm home alone for lunch, which only leaves me dinner.

[TheBiggerFish]

So... Maybe you should find an alternative between now and then...?

[Graknorke]

Like waiting? If it lasts longer than a couple of days then it's something serious that off-the-shelf medication probably won't help with, and if it doesn't then it doesn't.

[TheBiggerFish]

And if you take a laxative, it makes the problem worse...

[Neonivek]

And if you take a laxative, it makes the problem worse...

As I said, it is a very specific situation.

The parents are wrong... but not in the "wrong medication idiots!" way so much as a "Yeah, diagnose someone with IBS with no experience... idiots"

[RedKing]

Antacids (if they're calcium carbonate and not magnesium carbonate) can counteract mild diarrhea. Magnesium acts as a laxative (i.e. milk of magnesia) while calcium carbonate acts in the opposite direction. That's why many antacids now blend the two, otherwise you can get stopped up from taking too many of the standard calcium ones.

[Yoink]

Well... no it really isn't

Your Rhymes with Lore

Ur rhymes with Cur

I don't know many people who pronounce the Ur as Yore.

The Anis as "anis" instead of "Anis" depends on the person.... But no one actually puts in that "u" sound made to complete it.

In otherwords it is a "six sounds like sex" situation where someone told the joke enough times people believe them.

Erm, Neo... try saying "Uranus" out loud and then get back to us.
If that doesn't change your mind, I'm guessing you have an accent (I'm not quite sure where you're from) that I am unfamiliar with, heh.

[Neonivek]

I pronounce 'your' two different ways. Yur if it's part of a sentence I'm saying quickly, yor if it's one I'm going slower with.

In otherwords "Your anus" sounds like "Uranus" not the other way around.
