ALMOST everyone experiences an occasional bout of abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhoea or constipation. However, if you are having either of these problems very frequently or if it has become chronic, chances are that you may be suffering from the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is one of the most common gastro-intestinal disorders and although it is not a serious one, its impact on one’s life can be tremendous. Chronic and recurring symptoms of IBS can disrupt personal and professional activities, upset emotional well-being and limit individual potential.
IBS or irritable bowel syndrome is not a disease. It is a functional disorder, which means that the bowel (large intestine) is not functioning properly, though physically there is nothing wrong with it. With IBS, the nerves and muscles in the bowel are extra-sensitive. For example, the muscles may contract too much when you eat. These contractions can cause cramping and diarrhoea during or shortly after a meal.
The exact cause of IBS is not known. Symptoms appear to result from a disturbance in the interaction between the gut, the brain, and the nervous system that alters the regulation of the bowel motor or the sensory function. IBS is not caused by stress. However, because of the connection between the brain and the gut, symptoms can be exacerbated or triggered by stress. Certain things like milk and caffeine are also known to have a disturbing effect on IBS patients.
IBS is characterised by abdominal pain or discomfort and the abnormal bowel function, which may include chronic diarrhoea, chronic constipation, or an alternating pattern of both. Patients may feel the sensation of not being able to fully empty their bowels. Other symptoms may include gas formation, bloating as well as nausea.
IBS is a spectrum disorder, which means that there can be a great variety of symptoms and also that their intensity can range from very mild to severe. Primarily, homeopathy is a method where the individual symptoms of patients are given more preference than the labels of the disease and are matched with those of the drug. Thus, treating diseases like IBS with homeopathy in an effective manner becomes easier. However, it may take a while before appreciable results are achieved. One must keep in mind that the goal is not to have a temporary relief but a permanent one.
Homeopathic medicines like Nux Vomica, Colocynth, Aloes, Sulphur, Carbo Veg, China and Lycopodium are among the very effective ones that are often employed by experts for treating irritable bowel syndrome. However, please make sure that such conditions are not treated without the help of a professional homoeopath
Managing IBS
Experiment with fibre
When you have IBS, fibre can be a mixed blessing. Although it helps reduce constipation, it can also lead to diarrhoea, gas formation and cramping worse. The best approach is to gradually increase the amount of fibre in your diet over a period of weeks.
Avoid problem foods
If certain foods make your symptoms worse, don’t eat them. Common culprits include alcohol, chocolate and caffeinated beverages such as coffee and sodas.
Eat at regular times
Don’t skip meals and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate the bowel function.
Beware of dairy products
They usually are the biggest culprits in IBS. If you’re lactose-intolerant, try substituting yoghurt for milk.
Exercise regularly
Exercise helps relieve depression and stress, stimulates normal contractions of your intestines and can help you feel better

That time on stool examination Amoebiosis is found and doctor treated that way to cure amoebiosis. But again it has recur after 2 months. Between thee time I have frequent episode of soft with mucous or loose motion. This happens normally once in a week. Now I doctor has diagonsed it as IBS and treating with Normaxin and Cantapro1 tablet. Besides I have consulted a homeopath physician. He has given me Amloki Q (15 drops with water twice daily ) and Natrum Phosphoricum 6X (8 tabs twice daily with luke warm water) since last one month.. I am facing digestion problem . When ever I am taking little bit vegetables or fried things then stool forms mucous and comes out twice or thrice a day. Always I have abdominal discomfort. I am taking home made non spicy food and stopped all kind of food from outside. Even also once in a week or ten days in a week loose stool with mucous comes out. Please suggest me how can I get rid out of it. How long it will take to cure it fully.
Dear Dr. Sharma,
Thanks for the elaborate description of IBS. I am going through the same condition that is persistent for close to a year now. Though I was on homeopathy, recently went to a DM Gastro as it worsened. Have pain in the right lower abdomen with bloating and flatulence till I defecate. Though I may evacuate a small amount of stool, but pain subsides after defecation.Early morning awakening occurs with an urgency and pain to defecate and I can’t sleep again, thus feel drowsy through out the day. Brain doesn’t function properly and do not like to take decisions at all. Even avoid picking phone calls or talk to anybody. Please give me a proper homeopathic medication as I know there is no cure of this in allopathy.
Respected Sir
I have been taking homeopathy (aesculus, thuja, flowersnv30,chelid6x,staph200,paeonia30) since 2 yrs for IBD but to no relief whatsoever….My work is very very stressful and symptom is that after passing stool and taking breakfast in the morning around 10.30, i start feeling uncomfortable from around 11.30 (as if stool not cleared and something hard stuck in anal region ) till 5.30pm until air/gas is finally released…Stomach bloats, i feel lethargic, unable to concentrate, very uneasy due to the sensation….Is this what can be said IBD?
I was then prescribed Franxit (which was again scrapped due to govt ban) and now Meva-C…
Please advise
