aw bb,
fruit enzymes are very popular in m'sia and gaining more and more popularity in singapore. here is a link on the benefits. http://www.healthxchange.com.sg/healthyliving/ManagingChronicIllnesses/Pages/DIY-Fruit-Enzyme.aspx
but this takes a lot of dedication to do and i'm very fortunate my mom is into such things. lol! these fruit enzymes are a lot better than drinking manuka honey! my whole family found a lot of benefit in drinking this and all of us hardly fall sick. i haven't start giving my babe any, but will start in a couple of months' time. she had a lot when she was still in my tummy though and can really see the difference. so far her immunity has been very good.

lynzi,
sorry to hear about your 2 angels. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] didn't know about that..
i will be very scared to touch the dolls 'cos once got emotional attachment to it, i would wonder if i have gone mental.
it's a fine line between obsession and mere admiration for an object.
janice,
make sure your hubby goes with you for the classes! otherwise wasted 'cos you will tend to forget a lot of things. got hubby there can help and also learn to be a hands-on father. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

lynzi,
i myself don't have that patience to make le! but if you are really keen, popular always have a few titles solely on making fruit enzymes. it's a very colourful book with a lot of pics and step by step instructions. even tells you what fruits good for what purpose. i mix and drink all the neutral ones. except ginger, which is more heaty and supposed to be good especially during confinement.
anyway, i cannot resist them! 'cos very fragrant, sweet and tangy with a tinge of bitterness. that kind of flavor i don't know how to explain. and all fruit enzymes will have slight taste like alcohol due to the natural fruit sugars being fermented. can say it's kinda like an acquired taste. my favourite is the red dragon fruit ones. best!

janice,
yup! can sign up at tmc. got weekend classes also. if i'm not wrong, weekday classes are at amk hub, weekend at tmc itself.
little one,
i find myself getting heaty too but maybe it's due to lack of proper sleep/rest + hormones in overdrive. likely will feel even warmer during 3rd tri. hubby was freezing under covers in the room with fan + aircon at 23 degrees yet i was without covers and still hot!

[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] anyway, JP has one little organic store just outside fairprice xtra. it sells fruit enzymes too! apparently more and more ppl are starting to find out about the benefits and buying them. but expensive, 'cos laborious and ingredients not cheap.

Re: Fruit Essence
Any organic store has those issit? How ex are they and do you just take spoonfuls like honey? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I'm not taking much to supplement my diet now aside the pills doc gave! Hmm...

Starry, have you stuff from Book Depository arrived? I also hoping to get those before I go, then can read and relax in Bali! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Starry: Oh, sth very random. Not sure if you have the same pills as me from Dr Yam, but everytime I eat them I feel like they're candy - so brightly coloured one!!

re: fruit enzymes
not sure if all organic food shops will have. i only know the one in JP has it. saw before. and each bottle can be like $50-$60. of 'cos cheaper if homemade! but homemade ones will have a bit of 'zha' which some ppl doesn't take.
re: doc yam
lol! yeah, like candy! he's such a nice doc, isn't he? always so cheerful. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] btw, what pills did he give you? i have the fish oils and iron pills (which i am not taking). folic acid i bought them from guardian myself.

And yup, I have the fish oil (bright blue!) and iron pills with vitamins (bright red!)...Heh. Are we still supposed to take folic acid? Oops. I stopped a long time ago!

yeah, he will call me and my hubby 'mummy' and 'daddy' too. haha! at first i wasn't quite used to it, but he is a very jovial doc. will also chit chat about other things and won't rush thru the appt at all. when i had my bleeding scare, he was also very concerned and very gentle in explaining things to me. unlike my previous gynae who was very robotic and no feeling at all even when i had my spotting. everytime went to see him also feel scared of kena scolding. dr yam in comparison is like a breath of fresh air! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
re: folic acid
not sure if still need to take but i just continue. sometimes will forget. but i won't worry too much lah. i always have dinner and soups made with love at my mom's place. already very nutrient packed! last time i even had another little bag of multi-vit pills. this time round not taking those multi-vits.
speaking of soups, mommies please do try to drink more nutritious soups. those homecooked soups boiled for hours are simply the best! even if it's just good ol' ABC, corn soup, lotus root soups etc. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] before i married hubby, he was always sick. after being married, he will always have a few doses of mommy's soup every week and now hardly sick. really makes a difference!

oh, really? thought those are purely iron pills le. and they look like those 'xiang si dou'. haha!
my mom is really amazing. learnt a lot of things esp in the kitchen from her. she's a fantastic cook. her 'lor bak' and hong zao chicken are really to die for. hee hee! jadelyn loves her food so much i really think she knows the difference who made it. she always gobbles up everything at my moms. whereas at my place during weekends, she needs some cajoling to finish up everything. pampered..
