A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When Sherilyn was a baby, she appeared to have Strabismus or what people call ‘cock-eyed’ or cross-eyed. For many months until she passed her 1st birthday, I was worried sick and had brought her to see several pediatricians to check her eyes out. Upon checking her eyes, I was reassured by the doctors that Sherilyn…
Ever since Baby C has been having frequent attacks of UTI and having bacteria detected in her pee most of the time, I have taken many precautionary measures to minimize bacteria from entering her body. Yesterday, I bought some Dettol wet wipes and a box of alcohol swabs from the pharmacy. I wipe the railings…
Hubby was informed by his pharmacist friend that one of the best brands of probiotics in the market is Prolactor. Prolactor has 10 billion CFU (colony forming units) of good bacteria. Most other brands of probiotics only have 5 billion CFU of good bacteria. The packaging for Prolactor is pretty impressive. It is packed in…
continuation from here. I called our pediatric nephrologist this morning. The urine culture test shows that there is very scanty growth of bacteria in the urine.

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…
Baby C’s pee still smells a little foul today… and looks yellowish too on her diaper. Today I collected her pee in a specimen bottle to have an inspection myself and as I had expected, the pee looks a tad cloudy and there were tiny particles floating inside too 🙁 I made a call to…
I don’t know if my nose is playing tricks on me. Yesterday morning at around 4am, Baby C’s soiled diaper smelled a tad foul. At 6am when I changed it again, it smelled a little foul too. And so for the whole of yesterday, I was obsessed with changing her diaper and sniffing the soiled…
I got a shock when I read this from the newspapers this morning : PUTRAJAYA: Eighteen types of biscuits bearing the Khong Guan and Khian Guan brands have been found to contain excessive levels of melamine. Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the contamination is from the raising agent ammonium bicarbonate from China which was…
