Too much wind?

One bad habit that you might notice of me is that I chew with my mouth open and chew very loud.

Ya I know..disgusting right?

Even worse after I'm bo gei (no teeth) on one side now, I have to push all the food to one side and open my mouth bigger to chew to avoid it from getting to the other side.

Another thing that people might not know is that I get a lot of fung in my tummy. Not Lam Fung's Fung, but fung in terms of "wind".

I am fat yes I know but I am often bloated fat. Which means my tummy isn't actually filled with a lot of fats but it is bloated with wind.

Whenever this happens, I get a very very very bad feeling. My tummy feels very unwell and I feel that I can't take in any food. I also feel that I can't sit up because it hurts. Usually the way I cure it is to lie on the bed and start hitting my tummy or apply my mum's "bird oil" until the wind comes out. (yeah how does the wind come out? fart obviously).

EWW you might say, but yeah whatever lol. I have no shame.

Anyway, this has been happening to me since I was quite young and over the last few years it has been happening more and more often. However, I never knew why this happens though. Until that day I decided to ask a very knowledgable doctor (especially with babies) Dr Tim Ho about my weird "fung tummy". Dr Tim Ho suggested to me that the reason why I have lots of wind in my tummy is because I eat with my mouth open and the reason why it happens so often is because I eat a lot.

"The more you eat, the more you open your mouth, the more your chew the wind in to my tummy" he says.

Tim is either right or he's just a gun.

Who is a better doctor to trust other than Dr Andrew Chan's brother in law?

so from now on i shall eat with my mouth closed.

and the world says .... finally!
