norbra Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Many Thai women I know all have stomach problems, indigestion flatulence heartburn fullness and lacking appetite. They are all addicted to Cologen powder flogged by TV shopping channels offering various, dubious health benefits, could this be relevant to their distress?

Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2022 Do you mean collagen? It's supposed to help with skin ageing and wrinkles, AFAIK it does not cause stomach problems. IME a lot of the stomach ailments are caused by over-spicy food, and imbibing Lao Khao. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Gastro issues, acid reflux, tapeworm, and stomach cancer are very prevalent in Thailand. The nation has a significant number of deaths per annum, from stomach related maladies and stomach cancer. I would guess som tam, and many of the funky and fermented foods are at least partially to blame. Excessive beer consumption does not help, especially on top of pre-existing stomach issues.

rattlesnake Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Lots of Thai women seem to like "detox" coffees which don't really detoxify you of anything but are really laxatives. I assume the irritation this causes in the digestive tract (as well as bad assimilation of nutrients) can only become an issue over time.

Medicines are dispensed similar to sweets in an old fashioned sweet shop from glass jars. Patients come away clutching plastic bags containing tablets of various colours. Expect to pay 150-200 baht for the examination and medicines. Mrs has them everywhere as you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
