I think it's the change of environment, but if you are considering eating out tonight, you definitely can't go wrong with the yummy and really cheap hotdogs from ShopRite.

I have cause to visit Lagos in order to secure the bail of a younger one who got into trouble. My cousin who stays in Lagos insisted I stay with him. He has a wife and 3 kids.

The problem now is that I don't think his wife knows how to cook!! I have had running stomach eating her food since 4 days ago. I tried to turn down her food last night but it didn't go well as she pleaded with me to eat which I did. I had stomach upset through out the night. I just can't imagine eating her food again till I leave.

Please how do I refuse her food without sounding offensive??

Use the time to fast and pray.
Tell her you are starting fast and do your breaking in the morning when you go out.

Or

Go and buy Talazol keep it in your bag. It is so active that if you use two tablets pere. You will be begging your stomach to release poo for two days.

Eat her food and use Talazol. It may be your stomach is reacting to the water or environment.

Buy enough flagyl, tetracycline, and limotin.
Take the first two after each meal.

That advice is what a timid person would take.

Why not tell her honestly that you notice you have running stomach when you eat her food. And after the confession you can reduce pressure by giving a suggestion as to the cause e.g maggi or you having a sensitive stomach.

From henceforth you can decide to accept or reject food.

Tell her the truth. Say it seems the food she gives you is upsetting your system because you've been having diarrhea. Tell her it happens to you a lot especially when you have a change of food source, and it takes a good while for you to acclimatize with the change. You've been battling it for some days but are not getting any reprieve. Then go ahead and suggest a meal that involves less spice and have her prepare that for you. Also, if you drink from a borehole, insist on getting table water and see if there will be any change.

When you communicate it to her this way, trust me, she will be much interested in your health. She is family, feel free to talk to her.

I think this is one of the best options. Let them know that you are purging and that you may have to take only dry food for now.

Tell her na.

When next she brings her junk to your face tell you're not interested. Say it this way hanty, I'm tired of visiting the toilet due to the junk you've been feeding me with.

Thank me later.

Nobody likes critics even me , but it do make someone concern about something and make them work more on that particular issue..so because you don't want issue you want to jeopardize your health.... talk to your brother let it out...and apologize later....she will learn more and take caution... U will praise and criticize her at the same time. Nobody loves critics but I believe it makes you a better person...since it's not a critics of personality or character....
This is just my opinion...
She might hate you ..even cause trouble self ...but the respect will be there. ...

You are not even matured enough to make contributions in situations like this because you lack experience

Homes belongs to women and you must respect every home you enter just because of the presence of the woman in the house

E bi like say women never show you pepper
