2. Constipation is the theme of the week
I'm glad the hubby hasn't fled from the home because of my excessive burps and belches. In fact I think it has given him the freedom to do so himself around the house. I used to glare at him whenever I hear a runaway fart or burp. For me, expelled wind is now coming forth from both ends.. top and bottom :) I don't quite know what is causing it but it comes hand in hand with my evening nausea. The build up of wind is actually quite uncomfortable and I wish I could get all of it out in one go but no matter how loud the belch, there is another no less loud one coming along in under 5 minutes.
As for things I can stomach, I am leaning towards basic white porridge cooked with lots of water, served with a small portion of fermented tofu, a fried egg and a dash of soy sauce. If I could get my hands on Bovril (a beef extract) and stir some through my porridge I would. I used to have Bovril and plain white porridge when I was a kid. And I think it has somewhat become a comfort food for me.
Apart from that I like very basic soups, mostly with tofu. I have also discovered that I can't have bananas. It makes my nausea much worse and the gas, absolutely monstrous. I still can't really cook at night for dinner. So the hubby has had to make do with subpar food for dinner.
As for being constipated, I have noticed that I am only going to the toilet once every two days. Either I'm not eating enough to have excretion or I am not drinking enough water. I think I am averaging at only 6 cups a day. So note to self: Put in a concious effort to drink more water.
And this is the progress of the chart for this week.
Still nothing yet. I'm not complaining.
