A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Despite taking psyllium husk and Duphalac (laxative) everyday, Baby still has constipation, though not as bad as without these laxatives. Yesterday, she did not move her bowels. Each time she does not move her bowels for a day, she will be restless the entire night. She will toss and turn and wake up really early…
I have been feeding psyllium husk to Baby for over 2 weeks to relief her constipation and it’s working. She can now move her bowels almost everyday and her stools are no longer rock hard. I am going to continue feeding her with psyllium husk and only plan to stop feeding her with it when…
Baby’s paed and surgeon had warned us many times that one of the causes of UTI is constipation. Constipation will put pressure on the bladder and the unmoved wastes in the guts contain bacteria. Thus it’s very important that she moves her bowels everyday. Unfortunately, Baby has been suffering from constipation for the past few…
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…
Baby has been facing constipation for the past 2 weeks. In the past, she hardly had constipation, well perhaps once in a blue moon. Lately the constipation is quite bad. She would only poo poo once in every 2 days. Baby’s surgeon had warned us before that constipation will trigger a urinary tract infection (UTI). I’ve…
The ample of acids present in lime helps clear the excretory system by washing and cleaning off the tracts, just like some acids are used to clean floor and toilets. Then the roughage in it is also helpful in easing constipation. But it is mainly due to high acids. An overdose of lime juice with…
Whenever my gals have constipation, the first thing that comes into my mind to help them move their bowel is the red dragon fruit. I always have stock of the red dragon fruit in my fridge and my gals and I eat this fruit at least 2-3 times a week. But not Baby coz she…
That’s Sherilyn downing a cup of prune juice with a spoonful of psyllium husk. I thought she wouldn’t drink that cup of yucky stuff coz it’s quite yucky tasting and the texture? Eeeeyucks…. even I hate it but I still down a cup of apple cider vinegar (about 2 teaspoons) with water and psyllium husk…
The Duphalac syrup is taking effect and Sherilyn has been pooping lots for the past few days. Her appetite has also returned and she’s no longer rejecting milk, albeit she’s still holding on to her cup of milk in the morning and needs at least half an hour to gulp it down after much nagging…
Since infant, Sherilyn has been a very constipated child. When she was a newborn, she would only poo poo once in 8-10 days, which got me worried sick. But when she finally poo pooed, it was explosive and she normally spent a good 15-30 minutes pooping lots. All these years up until now, Sherilyn needs to drink lots…
