IBS AND HOMEOPATHY

Treating IBS with Homeopathy   Dr. Vikas Sharma

If you have frequent bloating of abdomen, recurrent pain in your belly, and if you get loose stools or get constipated very often; then there are good enough chances that you could be suffering from IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the intestines; this means that it does not cause physical changes in your gut, but only affects the functioning of the intestines. Though it is a functional disorder, but it can seriously affect ones quality of life. Homeopathy offers a very effective solution to deal with ibs and can completely eradicate it from the body.

So what exactly is IBS and what causes it? IBS is referred to a condition when one or more of these symptoms are present in an individual. The main symptoms are abdominal pain or cramping, a bloated feeling, Gas (flatulence), Diarrhea or constipation (sometimes alternating with each other) and mucus in the stool .The symptoms in IBS can vary a great deal from an individual to an individual. Mostly IBS affects individual in a mild to moderate way, but in some patients, severity of symptoms can completely jeopardize their day to day life. For most of the people, IBS (when untreated) is a chronic condition although it may vary in intensity from time to time.

Although the cause of IBS is not very clear but it is widely believed that IBS is caused by disturbances in the nerve ending in the wall of the intestines, which control the muscles of the intestinal wall. Under normal circumstances these muscles in the walls of the intestines contract and relax alternatively to push the digested food forwards towards the rectum (terminal part of the intestinal canal). These muscles work in a rhythmic and a coordinated way. But for those who have IBS these muscles start working in an erratic fashion. The muscles may suddenly start contracting in a very strong manner casing the digested food to move out in a very speedily manner leading to diarrhea and cramps. On the other hand if the contractions become slow the bowel movements become constipated. Bloating is thought to be caused by the heightened sensitivity of the intestinal wall. Even small amounts of gas can give a feeling of distension (‘full of gas’ feeling in abdomen) due to the heightened sensitivity when intestinal walls are stretched even slightly by gas.

People suffering from IBS can have their symptoms triggered by external as well as internal factors. External factors are food substances like milk, alcohol eggs carbonated drinks etc. Stress is a major internal factor for triggering and affecting the symptoms of IBS. Trigger factors can hugely vary from an individual to individual.

Homeopathic medicines are very effective in managing and curing IBS. They work by using body’s own restorative abilities to counter the disease thus giving a gentle and a permanent cure .The treatment is best handled by a professional homeopath as choosing the right homeopathic medicine for IBS can be a very challenging job. This is because; homeopathic prescribing in such disorders is dependent upon the physical symptoms as well as the psychological aspect of the patient. Homeopathic medicines that have been found to be most effective in treating IBS are Asafoetida ,Colocynth, Argentum Nitricum ,Nux Vomica , Lycopodium and Carbo Vegetablis .

  16. Hi sir, I used to pass stool immediately I woke up. Since couple of years I am not able to go like that. If I go and try, I get lot of gas and less thin stool, then feel like my stomach has not fully emptied as I have passed less stool. And in the day when ever I try going, I will pass stool but in less quantity. Never felt of emptying completely. With this I will never feel hungry. And if I don’t pass this less stool, I don’t get a sense of urging to pass stool for full day, and next day it would be a constipation. Please help me find a solution for this. It’s not letting me stay peaceful.

  19. I had diahorrea with lot acidity releasing during the full day. And i remember taking 1 full glass of hot milk and within 15 mins going to washroom. In a day 4-5 times i used to go to washroom. Then i consulted a doctor he told me that i am suffering from IBS on 28 dec 2015 and he gave libotryp half-half BD rifagut BD and velgut BD i.e after breakfast and dinner for one month. After that he gave me libotryp OD after dinner till today.
    Things were fine till 3 april 2017. But after that again 4-5 visit to washroom started. Now whenever this 4-5 visits to washrooms happens i feel weakness i.e body pain but this i.e from (3 april 2017) time i used feel as if my head is falling forward.
    It continue like this till 30 april 2017. During this time i took melons after long time( i was told that this was the reason for 4-5 visits to washrooms) . Now another advised to stop taking fruits except banana i did that for 5 days but this feeling of falling head didnt stop and 5th day i had alot of sweat and when i touched my hands i was felt it was cold.
    Unfortunately that day i fell down and i felt heaviness in my ear and some unstablility in my head then i took sugar and salt solution and it took me 30-45 mins to get stable.
    Moreover the kind of sweat and hands getting cold again happened the next day.

    Kindly advise how to deal this problem

  20. Debbie Tayco says:

    I don’t know if I have IBS as I have never been diagnosed, but I am constipated most of the time. Even when I do have a bowel movement, it is not much and I still feel like I have to go. I have increased my fiber and water, but I am still having problems. I am irritable and sometimes get bloated. I try to stay away from dairy, but I notice when I over indulge on cheese is when I get the bloated feeling.

    I am new to Homeopathy and am very hopeful in its healing properties.
