My mil stewed a big pot of chicken with sweet chestnuts and mushrooms yesterday. I can never get fed up with this dish and it’s my all-time favorite. She uses fresh chestnuts, not the pre-peeled or dried ones coz fresh chestnuts taste better.
Since it takes a long time for the chestnuts and mushrooms to become […]

Most other brands of probiotics only have 5 billion CFU of good bacteria. The packaging for Prolactor is pretty impressive. It is packed […]

I called our pediatric nephrologist this morning. The urine culture test shows that there is very scanty growth of bacteria in the urine. Our dr. said that the amount is so insignificant that it is not considered a UTI. That’s why the initial urine FEME test done on Monday showed that there was […]

I called our nephrologist today. The initial urine FEME test shows that there are no WBC (white blood cells) and no bacteria in the urine. There are however 2 RBC (red blood cells) in the urine…. which means that there could be an infection in the urinary tract or kidney. Our doctor said to wait for […]
