A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
After coughing like a TB sufferer for almost a week, my right ribs hurt as if someone had just given me a good punch on the ribcage. It’s so painful that I have to hold my right ribcage and cringe each time I cough. Jogging has also been torturous for me as my ribcage would…
We have just received feedback / second opinion from 2 nephrologists from London on Baby C’s condition. One of the surgeons said to go ahead with the partial nephrectomy surgery. The second surgeon’s advise is to get another scan done on the right kidney before deciding to remove the upper pole of the right kidney…
My throat still hurts and I am coughing like someone who has TB. My phlegm is still greenish yellowish and my eyes are really red. Each time I have a really bad bout of upper respiratory infection, my eyes would get red and swollen too. According to hubby’s uncle who is a surgeon, I have…
Hubby bought me a cup of premium organic mango yoghurt yesterday. It’s absolutely tasty and the smoothest yoghurt I’ve ever tasted. It’s thick and rich and even half a cup of it was enough to fill my tummy up. See the thick rich mango puree on top of the plain yoghurt? It’s soooo tasty. Even…

Baby C loves her porridge and I’ve been making her the same porridge with the following ingredients for almost 3 months every day: Alternate between white and brown rice Goji berries or wolfberries or gei jee (touted as a super fruit packed with antioxidants and nutrients) 3 red dates 1 small wedge of pumpkin or…
The urine culture results (for urine collected on Thursday last week) came out today. There is a mixed growth of bacteria in the pee and the colony count reading is <5,000. Whenever I get this kind of reading, our doctors would normally tell me that this reading means that the pee was most likely contaminated…
I bought a packet of white sesame seeds the other day to toast them in a non-stick pan. After my maid had poured all the sesame seeds into the pan, she noticed something wriggling in the pan. She quickly called me and here’s what we saw : 2 worms wriggling amongst the seeds, yikes! So…
