Consider this fair warning for the bubble tea-obsessed.

A 14-year-old girl in China landed herself in hospital, after not being able to move her bowels for five days.

The girl, who lived in Zhejiang province, complained of being constipated, not being able to eat, and was suffering from stomachaches. According to Chinese media reports, her parents finally sent her to the hospital on May 28.

Doctors deduced that the shadows were actually around a hundred undigested tapioca pearls from bubble tea she had consumed.

Initially reluctant to reveal what she ate, the girl finally spilled the beans, but insisted that she only drank a cup of bubble tea five days before this incident.

However, Doctor Zhang Louzhen, who treated her, suspected that she may have been hiding the truth for fear of punishment from her parents. He said it would take ingesting a significant amount of pearls for an extended period of time for her condition to be this severe.

The girl was prescribed some laxatives to relieve her of constipation.

Another doctor interviewed also issued a warning that bubble tea pearls or boba, which are made out of starch, are actually hard for the body to digest.

In addition, some stores may add thickeners and preservatives to the pearls, and continuous consumption of such ingredients can lead to gastro-intestinal dysfunction.

As they say, all things in moderation.

“Blowing Smoke Up Your Ass” Was Much More Than Just A Saying. In 18th-century England, blowing smoke up one’s ass was an actual medical procedure. One of the earliest reports of such a practice took place in England in 1746, when a woman was left unconscious after nearly drowning. [2]
Her husband allegedly took the suggestion of administering a tobacco enema to revive her, a practice that was rising in popularity at the time as a possible answer to the frequent, local instances of drowning.
Left with little choice, the man took a tobacco-filled pipe, inserted the stem into his wife’s rectum, and, well, blew a bunch of smoke up there. As strange as it may sound today, it reportedly worked, the hot embers of the tobacco leaf jolting the wife back into consciousness, and the practice grew quickly from there.
The method of treating with a tobacco smoke enema was adopted from North American Indians. Digestion problems, somnolence, stomach cramps, and parasites were all treated with a tobacco smoke enema.

When our pipes are backed up internally, it can cause more than just pain and discomfort.

Just ask one Hong Kong woman who temporarily lost 10 years of her memory, after overstraining herself while defecating, China Press reported.

Concerned family members immediately took her to the hospital upon noticing a lapse in her memory, but doctors found her brain function to be normal, shared her son in an online post.



The memory loss lasted for eight hours, and after she recovered, the woman had no recollection at all of the 'lost' time and drama that she had initiated.

The memory loss lasted for eight hours, and after she recovered, the woman had no recollection at all of the 'lost' time and drama that she had initiated.

When interviewed by media in Hong Kong, neurologist Dr Peng Jiaxiong explained that the episode, medically known as transient global amnesia, could have been caused by a condition known as internal jugular vein valve incompetence, where blood flow to the brain is compromised.



Neurologist Dr Peng Jiaxiong advised that those who experience symptoms of memory loss after exertion should seek medical attention immediately, and that such patients may have a 30 per cent higher likelihood of suffering a stroke.

This could have led to insufficient oxygen being delivered to the brain at the point of exertion due to constipation.

But the doctor added that such occurrences are rare and besides constipation sufferers, those who lift heavy objects or experience intense emotions are at greater risk.

In 2016, a 58-year-old man in Taiwan woke up with transient global amnesia after experiencing a bout of constipation the night before. He had also experienced intense emotions from watching a political talkshow, according to the neurologist who treated him.

Many people struggle with their health.  But what most people don’t understand is the role of constipation in overall health.  From Acne and arthritis to kidney disease and myasthenia gravis, the bowel health plays an important role.  If the bowels are not clean, the body is not clean–it’s toxic.  And if the body is toxic, the mind is not clear and cannot discern spiritual issues as well.  It’s vital to understand how to keep the bowels clean. Problem can be caused by eating too fast, stress, eating cheese, histamine, alcohol, sugar, lack of fibre, and lack of sleep. [2]

Not only is a lack of fibre not always the cause, many are observed to suffer more discomfort when placed on a high-fibre diet.
Fibre, also known as roughage, resists digestion by the human body, so taking excessive fibre is akin to clogging up a drain.
A common type of constipation arises from the slow or weak movements in the intestines. Fibre is resistant to digestion. If patients with slow intestinal transit are given fibre, it will only accumulate in the intestine and give rise to bloating. This is because fibre soaks up water and expands in the gut to make a person feel bloated. They create bulky stools, which, along with gas produced during the fermentation of fibre, leads to flatulence and cramping from the intestines being stretched.

HOW TO AVOID CONSTIPATIONPHOTO: Constipation is defined as having bowel movements fewer than three times per week. The stools are usually hard, dry, small in size and difficult to eliminate.

HOW TO AVOID CONSTIPATION
Tip #1. Set a regular time for bowel movements every day
The best time is usually after breakfast in the mornings, when the bowels are most active and are stimulated by the presence of food in the stomach.

Tip #2. Get sufficient sleep and wake up early.
Sleep, or the lack of it, may affect bowel functions, including how responsive the bowel is and the degree in which the muscles in the bowel contract.

Tip #3. Have a well-balanced diet that includes fibre.
Add wholegrain bread, cereals or other wholegrain products in your diet. Opt for high-fibre biscuits or granola bars as your snack choices.
The recommended daily amount of fibre, according to the Health Promotion Board, is 26g for men and 20g for women. This can be achieved by eating two servings each of fruit and vegetables and five to seven servings of wholegrain products.
Aim to have at least two servings of fruit and two servings of vegetables daily (these give a total of 10g to 12g of fibre).
Incorporate various types of cooked vegetables or salads in your main meals and add lentils or nuts in your stews or curries.
Besides taking fresh fruit, you may also drink pure juices such as prune juice or take dried fruit.
Prunes are especially high in fiber and contain sorbitol, a stool-loosening sugar that naturally helps relieve constipation.

Tip #4. If you need to go, go. Do not ignore the urge to defaecate
This is because a suppressed call can take many hours to return.
When someone ignores the urge to defecate, the pressure to empty bowels decreases in the rectum, which continues to store the stool.
Sometimes, the pelvic floor muscles may “forget” how to relax and may contract inappropriately even when one is ready to defecate. The exact cause is not known.

Tip #5. Drink plenty of fluids every day
This is as fluids help to disperse the fibre. A study finds that people who got plenty of fluids were the least likely to suffer constipation, Reuters reported.
Among the people who consumed the least amount of liquid daily from food and drinks, 8 percent of men and 13 percent of women were constipated, compared to 3 percent of men and 8 percent of women who got the most liquid.

Tip #6. If you usually do not suffer from constipation, then keep to your usual level of fibre and fluid intake.
Increasing your fibre intake when you are eating enough in the first place may worsen the constipation.
Research has shown that patients with constipation do not eat any less fibre than healthy people, so a lack of fibre is not always the cause of the problem.

Tip #7. Sometimes, if you feel very constipated, it may actually help to reduce your fibre intake.
Not only is a lack of fibre not always the cause, many are observed to suffer more discomfort when placed on a high-fibre diet.

Tip #8. Drink more fluids in the form of juices and milk.
Juices contain sorbitol which is a mild colonic stimulant that helps reduce the transit time of stool, while the lactose in milk may help to soften stool.

Tip #9. Be diligent in taking laxatives daily for up to two weeks in order to help restore regular bowel habits.
Know that it takes time to kickstart an engine that is not working well. Doctors and patients alike have the misconception that people can get too dependent on them to be weaned easily.
It is why patients are frequently prescribed short courses of laxatives and, sometimes, told to avoid using them daily.
On the contrary, some research shows a drug like prucalopride can have benefits even when used for up to 24 months.

Tip for a happy gut

If you want your bottom to thank you, try pooing in the strain-sparing evacuation position called “the rocking squat” - literally crouching and then gently rocking on bent knees. No more haemorrhoids and digestive diseases like diverticulitis.

There is an increasing interest in the gut microbiota and health and disease.
PHOTO: There is an increasing interest in the gut microbiota and health and disease. There is a huge number of gut bacteria which, in health, maintain a balance.
An imbalance has been linked to many chronic disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease and obesity. There is a suggestion that they may also be linked to psychiatric disorders and mood, with the majority of evidence coming from animal studies.

1 in 3 S'poreans delay seeking help for constipation

SINGAPORE - A recent survey has found that the majority of Singaporeans do not seek medical help for constipation, largely because they believe it will go away on its own.

The condition affects as many as one in four Singaporeans, but more than 35 per cent of patients wait three months or more before they see a doctor, the survey found.

Surprisingly, the reasons for not seeking medical treatment are neither cost nor embarrassment. The main reason for not seeing a doctor - 60 per cent of respondents - is the mistaken belief that constipation is either not a medical condition or that it will simply go away on its own.

According to Dr Reuben Wong, President of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Support Group and Consultant, Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, National University Hospital, chronic constipation is considered a medical condition.

Constipation is considered chronic when symptoms persist for more than three months.

Common symptoms include straining, lumpy or hard stools, a sensation of incomplete evacuation, anorectal obstruction or blockage, and/or less than three defecations per week.
The study was jointly conducted by the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Support Group and Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
