Question 1

do cefixime tablets need  to be taken before or after meal?

Accepted Answer

Not with food: Either before or after -- but there is only about 40-50% absorption from the gastrointestinal tract -- therefore, taking food actually decreases the aborption even further.

Question 2

is having diharrea everyday and after meal, normal?

Accepted Answer

OBVIOUSLY not: You have ibs. When food goes into the stomach it automatically notifies the computer in the lower brain. When this is normal it may well make a bathroom visit essential. When this becomes over sensitive it instructs the intestine to undergo peristalsis (wave like contractions) that can become violent. Commonest cause of ibs is lousy diet, particularly sugar and sweeteners.

Question 3

disadvantages of sleeping after meal?

Accepted Answer

Weight gain: Being active/taking a walk after a meal speeds up metabolism which helps burn more calories so it is a means to watch your weight.  Sleeping after a meal only deprives you of a chance for less calorie total which turns into weight gain.

Question 4

is it bad to eat fruits after meal?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Most everything in moderation.  Fruits are part of a healthy diet.  If they take the place of more "conventional" desserts, more power to you.  Again, you just need to be aware of not overdoing it.  Even healthy food, in too large a portion, is not good for you, as it can readily cause weight gain.

Question 5

how can i stop after-meal sweet cravings?

Accepted Answer

Break routine: Finishing your meal with a naturally sweet food, like a fruit may help.  Many after meal cravings can be curbed by doing something different than your usual after meal routine.  In other words, if you normally follow your meal with dessert, get up from the table and change your environment-get out of the kitchen, take a walk.  Without the typical cues, you'll find your cravings decrease.

Question 6

when to take himalaya liv 52 before or after meal?

Accepted Answer

Both OK but...: It may not make much difference. I read some of the many research studies on Liv 52; they mention the dose but none say if it was taken with or without food; if it was important they should have mentioned it. Their website also doesn't say when to take so probably not important. Most herbs are better absorbed on empty stomach so I advise taking 30-60 min. before meals but should be fine after too.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Before: The volume and bulk of a salad will give you the sense that you are full, while not giving you the calories. Lettuce, celery, cucumber, etc are all very low in calories -- but:  no salad dressing!
