A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My mum is suspecting that Baby’s frequent UTI could be due to what I eat, in particular shell food and raw sushi. In the past, each time Baby had a urinary tract infection, my mum would help me track back on what I had eaten. 2 times in the past I had eaten raw sushi…
I have been feeding Baby with pure psyllium husk for about 2 weeks now to provide relief for her constipation problem. Each day, I will sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of psyllium husk into her soup, twice a day. Though she still cannot move her bowels every single day, at least her poop is not rock…

One of my favorite vegetables is cabbage. I like it eaten raw in salad, coleslaw, stir-fried with dried shrimps, boiled with soup and stir-fried with noodles. Many years ago when I had my first Mastitis (blocked milk duct) when Alycia was a newborn baby, I used frozen cabbage to apply on my boops to relieve…
