Big life decisions: Are you happy when you are lied to? Do keep that in mind if you lie to your doctor or to other people. In the US, we are a free people living in a free society, which means there is no reason to lie about pregnancy or abortion. Plan life so that unexpected pregnancies do not happen. But if they do, a couple can decide with the doctor whether or not to get rid of their baby fetus, but be honest.

i am taking misoprostol and stool softeners for pseudo obstruction. other meds for chronic ailments. drugs says eat a meal or don't eat or meal. dosage times coincide often. i can't eat six meals a day, especially before bed. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

: When a medication states to "Take with food/meal" it just means to not take it on an empty stomach. "Food" can be as little as a slice of bread, or some crackers. Make sure you are eating some fiber with every meal and drinking copious amounts of water/non caffeinated fluids daily.
