HEALTH TALK: Got gas?

By Dominica News ⋅ February 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

INTRODUCTION Pretty much all of us have blamed some symptom we’ve had on gas, from a headache to a pain in the knee. In these two cases, it is impossible for gas to be responsible, but if you don’t know, you don’t know. And that’s why people like me are here. The fact is that gas is confined to your gastro-intestinal tract, anywhere from your mouth to your anus, that is your esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine which includes your rectum and sigmoid areas.

Am I an “old fashion” mum?

By Dominica News ⋅ January 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I read your article of the 13-year-old with a boyfriend and I also gave my views, but now I do have a mother at work telling me her 13-year-old has a boyfriend. How can a mother/parent tell her 12/13-year-old to have boyfriend? I too have 12-year-old and there is no way I am going to allow her to have a boyfriend or a serious relationship when she has to study her school book for exams. What is going on in this world?
