Khutan Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 A friends Thai wife who now lives in the US has had consitpation problems most of her life, and is always taking some type of herbal remedy for the situation.. I never really thought much of it until my recent Thai GF has brought up the same problem... She can go up to a week with "No Movement" and usually resorts to some type of strong Tea to aid with her problem...Is this a common problem for Thai's, or have I just run across two Thai women that share a common problem??? Is there something possibly in their diet that might be causing this???

GarryP Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Many people have mentioned that it is the Thai diet, however, I believe there must be something else involved. I know many Thai women who suffer from constipation, some quite severe, and yet their diet does not differ from mine in any way. I eat Thai food 99% of the time, and have never had any real problem with constipation, or the trots for that matter, in 20 plus years here. Perhaps the only difference is that I drink more water than they do, but then they are relatively smaller than me. Edit: Sh*t, just noticed this is an old thread.

kurnell Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Definately seems to be a Thai thing. My missus takes the fiber whatsit every day. Previous missus couldn't shit also. Doctor told her it was due to the fact that when she was a child, she spent a lot of time alone, while her parents were out on the rice fields, and when she wanted to take a dump, there was nobody there to assist her. Sounds like a load of arse to me, but then so does all Thai logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm not insulting you - use of the word 'arse' rather than 'ass'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat5 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Without any medical knowledge, I'd say that it's a combination of the food (lack of fibre), dehydration (I've known several Asian girls who didn't drink much in order not to visit the toilet for a pee), and a lack of exercise. From what I've seen, it's a common problem in Thailand. It may be a common problem in the West, too, but Thai girls seem much more willing to tell you all about it.

MAJIC Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 There was a story in the press a few months ago about an American women who had not had a crap or been out of bed for 6 months. They had to take out the bedroom window and employ a crane to remove her for treatment. A good dose of sum tom is the answer. I dont have the stomach for a reply to this Topic.
