Now everyone can value the opinion of a medical technician or professional ... right up until there is that one thing that you're convinced they'd be wrong about.

So what foods would you invariably ignore your GP on principle of being a petulant pseudo-adult if they warned you not to consume it? For me, that's spicy food. Particularly your tasty Indian takeaway staples like vindaloo, or a Madras sauce based lamb or chicken dish with extra chilis in the mix.

Indian food. If a doctor tells me chicken tika masala is bad for digestion, then I'll take a laxative after a trip to Flavors of India.
Fuck off Dr. House I say! Even if lamb byriani gives me Lupus, I'll take it!

Surely you'd need the opposite of a laxative! =P

OT: I honestly don't know... one of my old friends I worked with loved pineapple, even though her GP said don't because of the severe nausea... still ate it though, nicked mine while she was at it...!

Probably dairy, 'cos I love cheese, ice cream, milkshakes etc. most of my family (both sisters, my mom and a lot of my cousins) are largely lactose intolerant, and I'm so glad I'm not.

What you said but applied to curries from all over Asia.

I mean...

I'd struggle with some foods, sure, but if a doctor said I had to avoid it, it's probably because that stuff is doing some serious harm elsewhere, and I'm not shortsighted enough to overlook that

Eggs & Bacon.

I've had eggs & bacon every saturday morning (or whatever time I get up) for the past 20 years or so. I'm not prone to anger, but anyone who comes between me and my saturday morning comfort food WILL feel my all-consuming fury.

They can have my eggs 'n bakey when they pry them from my cold dead hands. And even then, good luck to them, because they will have to pry them from my cold dead hands.

Hm, i don't particularly value my physical health, so would mostly find the news that there are more ways to screw it over sort of an olive Branch. Others may see their survival energy-mound as a temple, but mine is a graveyard with a disgruntled old woman pruning the hedges and shouting at people trying to grieve. What the hell are they doing grieving here anyway? Not in my metaphor, goddamn it! And there's cats too. And one dog. Probably a retriever or a huskie, but not overly groomed otherwise that would be at odds with the decrepit atmosphere.

Ok, cheese. Mainly cheese. Not surprising given its' addictive nature perhaps. But it is quite tasty, varied and applicable to everything including poorly managed hostage situations.
Plus there's already a lot of other consumed earth materials that are well-known to be bad, apart from smoking, which wasn't actually a conscious choice, just one day didn't enjoy doing it anymore and stayed that way ever since. Weird. I wonder if I pretend it was a conscious choice, maybe it would be considered respectable or something, but that would mean having to pretend a lot of other things too. Soooo you can't polish a decrepit graveyard, as the saying goes.

There's a parrot also. And three turtles.

I have no real self control around food. So probably everything the doctor says

Dairy heavy, with a fellow lover of Indian food, mixed in with eggs, potato products and bacon. And all of it makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. Still, just how big a showing for cheese is striking. I expected maybe one or two T-bone steaks in there.

Mashed potatoes. I could lay off pretty much everything else (and have in periods due to a somewhat sensitive stomach), but if they come for my mashed potatoes, there's gonna be a war.

Hmm, dairy maybe? I?m thinking of all the things I?ve had today alone that have milk in and I?m thinking those are going to be hard to remember to find a lactose free equivalent to
