Thu, Mar 03, 2011
Constipation is a common health issue among infants and children. Nutritional therapist Heather Leeson gives her view on the condition.
Constipation in children is a relatively common problem which we see frequently in the clinic. It can range from mild or episodic constipation to severe constipation with no bowel movement for several days or even weeks. Often accompanied by wind, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, and faecal incontinence, it can cause significant discomfort and sometimes embarrassment for the child. It can be distressing both for the parents and the child, and if left go too long can cause further problems.

Humanity Dick’s last battle
Thu, Feb 24, 2011
Humanity Dick Martin’s daughter, Harriet Letitia, wasn’t the only one to write about her father’s victory at the notorious Galway election of 1826. It was such a blatant hijack of votes, a total fraud, and swindle, that it outraged the investigating committee from the House of Commons some months later. But Martin was desperate. Despite his enormous estates, consisting of 196,540 acres, virtually the entire territory of Connemara stretching westwards from Galway, he was deeply in debt. He was a useless landlord in the sense that his collection of rents was haphazard and irregular. He had a generous heart. He did not press his tenants for money.

Thu, Feb 24, 2011
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions.

Just in at Brown Thomas is Irish label Laundry Room. Located on the second fashion floor, this range includes affordable, wearable, vintage inspired dresses and tops for mothers and daughters (each wearing it her own way of course). It even has a bang on trend three quarter length sleeve trench in the perfect nude colour. My favourite piece in this collection is a drapey nude sleeveless ‘going out’ top, the shape and colour would work well with most wardrobes and on most girls.

Thu, Feb 24, 2011
I have been confused about the identity of Ard Bia since it moved to the Nimmo’s building at the Spanish Arch. Downstairs I think was called Nimmo’s, and upstairs called Ard Bia, and I was unsure whether there were different kitchens and menus. That confusion is now gone as it is simply called Ard Bia with the downstairs open all day and night and the upstairs opened as needed when extra busy. The menu is the same throughout and now includes breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas, snacks, dinner, and Sunday lunch. It is still a quirky restaurant and while I am no longer a fan of retro pine tables and chairs there is nothing retro about the food. It is modern, and top quality with a modern twist to traditional dishes.
