A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Constipation can be an uncomfortable and sometimes painful condition that affects many people. While there are numerous remedies available, natural solutions are often the best choice for promoting overall health. One such natural remedy is chia seeds. These tiny seeds, when soaked, can be incredibly effective in relieving constipation and promoting regular bowel movements. Let’s…
Lately I noticed that there is a connection between my sleep pattern and my bathroom habits. The lesser sleep I get, the worse my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) symptoms get. When I only clocked in 5 hours of sleep, the IBS symptoms exacerbated. During the Movement Control Order imposed on us recently when we were…
Recently I had an ‘accidental discovery’. I discovered that chia seeds help to move my bowels really well! I am so glad that I chanced upon this discovery when I added a teaspoon heap of chia seeds into my morning hot chocolate drink. For someone who needs laxative occasionally, I am so happy that I…
It’s been more than a week since I started adding oat bran into my diet to reap its many health virtues. But each time after I had taken oat bran, my tummy would feel really bloated with flatulence and constipation would follow the next day! Initially, I wasn’t really sure that oat bran was the…
It’s been eight days since we arrived in Auckland and I think I had only pooped thrice! Yep, my worst traveling nightmare came true and this disorder has never once left me alone whenever I travel – near or far! I have taken everything that is supposed to beat constipation but nothing seems to help….

Hopefully she will cooperate with me and chomp down her fruits and psyllium husk, else I will have to use the old trick of…
Cass is still very much a constipated child. Her constipation was far worse off before she was trained to poo in the throne. It was through a few very painful and traumatic experiences that she finally cooperated and ditched pooing in her diaper for the throne. Though I feed her with fruits, veggie and lots…
Ever since she went through a few episodes of very painful and uncomfortable constipation, Baby has finally resigned to the fact that veggie is good for her and can help her to poo poo 😀 No matter what we have for lunch and dinner, I always make sure that there are some greens on her…
At 3YO, Baby is still a very constipated toddler. Though she eats fruits and veggie everyday, she still has issue with constipation. On days that she suffers from painful constipation, she will look crestfallen the whole day until the poop pops out 😀 On constipation days, I will force her to gulp down cups and…
Baby is a very constipated child. Just the other day, I had to use enema to stimulate her bowel to move… which traumatized her very much. Baby hates the enema but sometimes I have no choice but to force use the enema on her when I know that the hard rock poop is stuck at…
