Why in the world would someone rather have doctors trying to hide a drug problem operate on them than have doctors get treatment and then be able to operate on them sober? Our society is very confused

Benadryl allergy could actually be a reaction to non active ingredients: my friend is allergic to milk and kept breaking out in his as Benadryl started to wear off. Lactose is a common ingredient in tablet pills. She switched to gel caps and has no more problems with Benadryl

aaaaah, oh no... potatoes are one of the few things I can eat that reduce my GERD. I'm already vegan, on FODMAP, and allergic to all legumes. I hope I can get away with still eating potatoes

My body doesn't process alcohol properly, so kombucha (normal, not hard) is the most alcohol I can drink. Just to add to the weight of his explanation of different people being able to process different amounts of alcohol.
