article: You may want to suggest that the person contacts a gambling hotline as a starting point to getting help. This can help them come to terms with having the gambling problem and help them admit it or realize the negative consequences. The United States has a national gambling hotline that a person can call at 1-800-522-4700. Most states have a gambling hotline that a person can call to talk anonymously to someone about their gambling addiction. Gambler's Anonymous lists all state hotlines by state. There are also hotlines provided for those who live outside of the United States. In Great Britain, you can call the National Gambling Helpline at 0808 8020 133. Search online for a hotline in your area. You should encourage the person to get treatment for their compulsive gambling. Gambling is an addiction and can be managed and recovered from using various therapy techniques. It is very difficult to overcome compulsive gambling without the help of a mental health expert. Keep in mind that they must recognize their own addiction before treatment. If they don't think that they have a problem, treatment may not be very effective. Therapy sessions help the person figure out why they gamble or diagnose any underlying conditions. In therapy, the person can learn how to cope with triggers and stressors that may lead to impulses and relapses. If the gambling is severe, the person can go to inpatient treatment. Say, "I'm proud that you have acknowledged that you have a gambling problem. Compulsive gambling is a treatable condition. Here are some numbers for therapists who can help" or "I think you should get help for your compulsive gambling. Here are some places that treat your condition." Self-help groups are helpful for people with gambling addictions. Support groups help the compulsive gambler meet with others who have experienced similar things. They can learn from each other, and share difficulties, successes, and coping techniques. Gamblers Anonymous is a popular self-help group for those addicted to gambling. You can talk to your doctor or therapist about where to find a good self-help group in your area. You can also contact local hospitals or clinics about support groups. Search online to see if you can find any groups in your area. You may say, "Many gamblers find it helpful to connect with other recovering gamblers. You should try going to a Gamblers Anonymous meeting" or "I think you would benefit from going to a support group meeting. You can talk to others who understand what you are going through." You may tell the person to consider medication to help treat their compulsive gambling. Medication can treat any underlying or related disorders, such as bipolar, depression, OCD, or ADHD. The doctor may prescribe antidepressants, narcotic antagonists, or mood stabilizers.

Limit complications of Crohn's Disease with medical treatment. Manage Ulcerative Colitis (UC) similarly to Crohn's, and watch for cancer."
article: Chronic diseases are those that persist beyond the course of a normal, temporary illness. They usually require working with a doctor for long-term care. Chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract your stomach and intestines can be treated with diet, medications, and sometimes surgery. If you have stomach problems that won't go away, get diagnosed by a doctor and start the appropriate care. Discuss options with your primary care doctor they may refer you to a nutritionist, surgeon, or specialist called a gastroenterologist. Over-the-counter antacids like Tums, Rolaids, and Pepto-Bismol can help to relieve symptoms of stomach ulcers, but medical treatment can help to actually cure the ulcers. Treatment requires working with your doctor and most likely treating with triple therapy: antacids, antibiotics, and a medication called a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI). Make concurrent lifestyle changes to stop smoking, avoid alcohol, and minimize your stress. Avoid the use of NSAIDs, which can aggravate peptic ulcers. The general rules of a healthy digestive tract apply to IBS: avoid foods that trigger your symptoms, manage your stress, exercise, get plenty of sleep, and stay hydrated. Additional treatment can include dietary changes and medications. Speak with your doctor about what's an appropriate treatment for you: Sometimes it helps to eliminate foods that cause gas: carbonated beverages and raw fruits and veggies are the worst. Talk to your doctor about this first, because a healthy diet usually contains plenty of vegetables and fruits. Try a gluten-free diet and see if that helps your symptoms. Avoid fructose (fruit sugars), lactose (milk sugar found in dairy), and FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, and polyols). Consult a nutritionist for details about how to avoid foods containing FODMAPs. Generally, minimize eating high-FODMAP foods like: onions (and leeks, chives, and onion-like vegetables); garlic; processed meats; products containing wheat; honey and corn-syrup; apples; watermelon; snap peas; artichoke; and baked beans. Discuss medications with your doctor. People may benefit from fiber supplements, antibiotics, anti-diarrheals, or anti-spasmodics. It depends on your symptoms and what is causing them. For severe symptoms, consider an IBS-specific medication like Alosetron (Lotronex) or Lubiprostone (Amitiza). Which you use depends on your symptoms. Work with your stomach doctor to control your symptoms and try to attain remission. Treatment usually involves medications, and sometimes surgery. First, work with your doctor to try anti-inflammatory drugs like sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), mesalamine (Asacol, Delzicol, and others), or a corticosteroid like prednisone. From there, you can try other treatments or a combination of treatment methods: Immune suppressing medications can help significantly decrease the inflammation that causes symptoms of Crohn's. These medications have unpleasant side effects, however, so risk must be weighed against the possible benefit. Antibiotics like Flagyl and Cipro will help if you have fistulas or abscesses. Other supplementary medications can be used to treat other symptoms, like anti-diarrheals, pain relievers, iron supplements and vitamin B12 shots (to prevent anemia), and calcium and vitamin D supplements. A low fiber diet can help. In severe cases, you may have a hospital stay for "bowel rest" and get your nutrition from an IV. In severe cases, surgery can remove a damaged part of your colon. Treat UC with your doctor's help using similar medications to what is used for Crohn's Disease the two illnesses are very similar other than the location of the damage to the intestine. Notable differences are that surgery to manage UC is generally more extensive and may require using a colostomy bag afterward to collect stool. It is also important to have regular screenings for cancer: Have a surveillance colonoscopy as soon as 8 years after you are diagnosed with UC if your whole colon is involved, or 10 years after if only the left side is involved. Start screening 1-2 years after diagnosis if you are also diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis. Have a screening colonoscopy every one to two years if the disease involves more than your rectum.

One thing you may want to think about before you talk to your husband about having a baby is any previous conversations you have had about them. This may be information you can use to help your case. Did he say he wanted children before you got married? Did he say he never wanted children? If he said he wanted children, you can discuss this knowledge with him. If he said he never wanted to have children, you should discuss how you believed he would change his mind after being married for awhile. During the process of convincing your husband to have a baby, schedule a block of time each week to discuss the prospect of a child. This achieves a few different things for both of you. You both have time to step away and collect your thoughts before you talk again. You can even write down points to make, counterpoints, or new reasons to try to convince him. Stepping away gives you both a chance to get your emotions and anger under control. This helps you be able to think logically and convince him calmly and rationally instead of getting emotional and angry and pushing him away from the idea. Talking about it during a set time helps you refrain from nagging him. If you keep pushing him all day every day, you may convince him not to have a baby instead. If your husband is hesitant about having another child, ask him about his reservations. Figure out why he is hesitant. His fears may be valid, like if you are not in a financially stable place. Talk to your husband and find out what he's scared of. Make sure to listen to what your husband says. Though you may want to have a baby, his feelings are just as valid as yours. Don't dismiss his thoughts just because you want a baby. If you believe you can have a baby despite his fears, discuss this with him. Come up with ways to make it work for your current situation. During your discussion about having a child, you should listen to your husband. While it may be hard to listen when he's so against something you want, you are both partners for one another. He is one-half of the marriage and deserves to be heard. Ask him why he doesn't want children. Don't argue, but listen to his reasons without interruption. Be polite to each other when listening to each other's wants and feelings. Be respectful and don't be judgmental about your husband's opinions. It may be difficult to stay calm when you are emotional about having a child. If you get too upset and start crying, that's okay. Take a few deep breaths before speaking. If needed, get up and take a brief walk around the house to diffuse your anger. Let your husband know that you have concerns about having a baby. Even if you want a baby, there are still concerns about bringing another member into the family. Sharing your fears may help reassure your husband and make him not feel so alone. Tell your husband if you are worried about how it will change the family dynamic, affect your other children, or how it will affect your finances. Bring up all the other changes that may happen in your marriage, such as changes in your relationship. You need to show your husband that the two of you can successfully have a baby. One thing that may hold people back from expanding a family is finances. When you are broaching the subject with your husband, show him evidence that you are financially sound. Show your husband that you have looked at your savings and annual income and adjusted expenses to accommodate the new addition. Bring up your careers. Talk about how you both are in good positions at your jobs. Explain to your husband that a baby won't interfere with your jobs. Unlike men, women have a limited amount of time to have babies. For some women, it's longer than others. Explain to your husband that time is a factor where babies are concerned. Tell your husband what you feel about your age and your biological clock. Do you think you are too old? Do you think there are a limited number of years left for you to get pregnant? Discuss the difficulties you may have getting pregnant, or the length of time you may have to try.
