h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I can't believe that I forgot you'd written about this on your space. I have horrible bloating, which is probably connected to my diet...

*hangs head in shame*

I've stopped being veggie after 17 years

I'll give it a try.

Oh, btw, would you like me to send you some of the yummy German schwangerschaftstee? (to drink during pregnancy) I had it each time and I have no idea if it helped, but I did have fantastic pregnancies.

I think I may have mentioned to you before that the German chemists shops, which are all high tech and staffed by scientific looking people in white coats, sell dried herbs and blend them for tea

Anyway, this is what's in it, and if you'd like some I'll gladly whip some over to you:

Schafgarbe - yarrow/bloodwort (Achillea millefolium)
Himbeerblätter - rasperry leaf
Melisse - balm/Melisse (Melissa officinalis)
Frauenmantel - Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla mollis )
Johanniskraut - St. John's Wort (Hypericum)
Brennnesselkraut - nettle leaves
Zinnkraut - Horse tail (sorry, no ideas about that one and actually wasn't in the tea I had)

There is Milchbildungstee for after, when breastfeeding (literal translation: milk production tea) and even later Abstilltee (abstillen is to stop breastfeeding) which is made of sage

I'm waffling now and i have to get my mum for the airport so I'll leave you in peace.

I do so love being a virtual auntie!

Hi Sho

Bloating huh?
I find that fennel tea helps with that, as well as avoiding wheat and dairy.
Eating meat again after being veggie for years will also help make you feel like you swallowed a big bag of balloons.

You could always try eating papaya as that's good for helping your digestion, as well as ripe pineapple. You can buy the active enzyme in pineapple which may help - it's called bromelain.
You dould always ask in the pharmacy about things to help your digestion, as they may have a specific formula already prepared that could help you out.


I'd love some pregnancy
Thanks hon!

So seeing as you're a virtual auntie, does that mean that I can drop the snotling off with you for babysitting duties?
