My 10 years old son has been suffering mostly fecal incontinence for the last three weeks. He goes to toilet on average 4 times in a day. But leakages from his anus and bowled in pants. He feels better while lying on bed, but feels discomfort while standing or walking and pressure comes out for bowel. Today, we start administering Aloe. Last one week he has been administered with Chinese medicine (as we aee living in Beijing), but no sign of improvement. Moreover, he has no urge for taking foods, has vomiting tendencies while taking foods. Please suggest remedies, we have collected some homeo medicine from Bangladesh.
I had to undergo total colectomy due to a bad case of ulcerative colitis. It has been 6 months now but mild fecal incontinence is not under control inspite of level exercises. Does homeopathy have a cure.
