People close to me (veeeeeeery close) would know how severely constipated I am. I used to eat so much papaya
(not coz I want bigger boobs la), my palms turned yellow due to the overload of Vitamin A.

Drawing saya cantik kan?My longest record without going is something like 10 days, sometime during A-levels.
So.. during desperate times, I would turn to laxatives, and today for some reason I wanna talk bout them : )
First I went for chemical laxatives, those in pill form that can be bought over the counter. They were effective, veeery, but it was really tiring. I could feel my bowels being forcibly cleaned, which was akin to scrubbing a silk cloth with a hard-bristled brush. Since using the pills would cause overdependence (lazy bowels), I switched to other alternatives.
Then, I read about TruDtox tea in the papers. Marketed as a natural herbal laxative, I decided to give it a try.
It tastes not bad, really. And it feels gentle.What's going on inside I won't know though.
The problem is.. It is too expensive to be taken frequently. An individual sachet used to sell
for like RM5.90, now I think they're selling them only in bulk.. close to RM30 for 5..
Assuming I take one every 2-3 days, that's like more than RM 30 in two weeks. Tsk tsk tsk..
Later on, I found this tea from China, it's imported through Cosway here.
Introducing Lite Tea, from Oriyen.
Sounds dodgy I know, but it's really quite okla. The ingredients consist of herbs like mulberry and pine leaf, and it smells really woody.
It's a bit harsher than TruDtox, like I wake up in the morning just to go to the toilet, and it makes me go like twice to three times a day.
But it's getting better now that my body's sorta used to it.
I can get it at a cheaper price than TruDtox.
Best part is, I think I lost weight since taking it : )
So yea. There you go. The lengths I go to to shit.
