Common digestion problems and their remedies
By Dr Vikas Sharma
SEDENTARY life-style, prolonged work hours, excessive mental strain and consumption of rich food stimulants such as alcohol, coffee and tea have made gastric problems like acidity into routine disorders. Not adding to the already “not-so-health-friendly” regimen that we follow, homeopathic medicines are non-toxic and by far the safest form of treatment available for such ailments.
Gas formation
Although some gas formation is considered normal during digestion, excess of it can cause great discomfort at times .Recent researches show that people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome have very low tolerance to gas formation. Thus, for some even moderate amount of gas can cause major symptoms. Signs and symptoms can vary – distension, bloating pain in the abdominal area, discomfort extending to the chest area, etc.
Carbo vegetablis (better known as carbo veg) is the most preferred homeopathic medicine for treating acute gas attacks. Carbo veg is made from vegetable charcoal. It can be used in cases that complain of immediate bloating after meals and also where the abdomen becomes hard and their are abdominal pains too. Everything that the patient eats seems to turn into gas. Three doses of 30c potency taken internally at an interval of 15 minutes each should help in relieving the distressing symptoms.
Acidity or heartburn
Acidity or heartburn is a burning discomfort that is generally felt in the chest just behind the breastbone. The burning sensation results when harsh stomach juices come in contact with and irritate the delicate lining of the esophagus, the tube-like structure that connects the mouth to the stomach.
Natrum carb is an important homeopathic medicine for the treatment of hyperacidity or heartburn. Three-four doses of natrum carb 30 c each taken at an interval of 15 minutes should be sufficient to relieve the acute suffering.
Please note that the treatment mentioned here is only for acute phase of the diseases. Self-medication should be avoided in chronic cases and also when medical help is easily accessible.
Digest this!
It is not only what we eat, but also how and when we eat makes the difference.
Schedule your meals
The basic purpose of having a digestive system is to break complex food substances into simpler ones for them to be easily absorbed into our body. So the stomach is selective in digesting things. For a simple bowl of dal and some chapatis may take not more than an hour to be digested, but a heavy meal such as a butter chicken can take even hours.
And also our digestive system needs rest. So when we sleep the process of digestion also slows down. Food left undigested can cause discomfort, so if you plan for a heavy meal in the evening, make sure that you have it in time. A simple walk after dinner may aid digestion.
Go slow
We usually tend to eat much more than we actually need to. Because the signals that indicate satiety to the brain from the stomach are slightly delayed. So, the best way to avoid overeating is to eat slowly and to stop just before the satiety level.
Break up your intake
Having 2-3 large meals is generally what most people like to have. It is not a very healthy practice and usually burdens our digestive system. Try and break your total food intake into many short meals.

Hi dr sharma,
Everymonth atleast I get one stomach attack. It generally follows after eating out or having s9me milk product. One of the docts diagn9sed me saying I have ibs. He gave me probiotics along with prebiotics. I felt better for sure. After that I am very vareful about what I eat, where I eat etc. Recently I had symptoms similar but milder. Abdominal discomfort, gassy, lower mild nack ache, feeling tired etc. So far the only medicine I have tried in homeopathy is nux v9mica 200. Please hrlp if you can
I have had digestive problems since i was 10 yrs old. IBS, Cronic Constipation, Acid Reflux, Diviticularitis, (sorry not a good speller) I have had 17 surgeries on my abdomin, Multiple colon testing, GI tests, Gallbladder removal, and so on. Now I am having 4 to 8 inches of swelling after eating, allergic reactions to anything with tomatoes, or black pepper. I am told I am not allergic to any thing after being tested. But I do have internal reactions. I have tried all meds prescribed and over the counter, and tons of things in between. I have come to a point of giving up. I need to find a solution to this problem or iI feel my insides will burst. I do not want any more surgeries, prescribed medications, or half truths ( because they don’t know what to do with me) .
Signed
I have no hope left
Buffie
