A temporary stomach upset after overeating or over drinking is one thing, but a change in bowel habits is a medical condition that needs help. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the intestines that leads to cramps, bloating and changes in bowel habits. Some people with IBS experience constipation while others have diarrhea, and some suffer from both these conditions together. The cause of IBS is not known, and doctors call it a functional disorder because there is no sign of disease when the colon is examined. Homeopathic medicines for IBS helps treat the symptoms of IBS, reducing their severity with time. Nux Vomica is the top remedy for treating IBS, but there are many other medicines for IBS that can be used symptomatically.
IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but it does not cause permanent harm to the intestines and does not lead to intestinal bleeding of the bowel, or to a serious disease (such as cancer). The potential for abnormal function of the colon is always present in people with IBS, but a trigger also must be present to cause symptoms. The most likely culprits seem to be diet and emotional stress. Many people report that their symptoms occur following a meal or when they are under stress.
Top Homeopathic Medicines for IBS
The conventional system of medicine has practically no treatment for IBS, but Homeopathy does. Remedies for IBS are made of natural substances having zero side effects — do not treat diseases but rather human beings suffering from diseases, thus ensuring a complete cure. As a comprehensive holistic approach to healthcare, natural medicines are able to offer a solution to many of these problems.
1. Nux Vomica: Top Remedy for IBS
Nux Vomica is the top natural medicine for IBS. The prominent symptom calling for its use is the passage of a small quantity of stool or poop very frequently with abdomen pain. The patient feels the constant urge to pass stool. The abdomen pain is relieved for a very short time after stool. But the pain in abdomen and desire for stool begins soon after stool expulsion. This is most of the times accompanied by a distended abdomen after eating. The peculiar food that worsens the condition is spicy food, coffee, and alcoholic drinks. The worsening of condition after anger spells is also an important marker for natural Homeopathic remedy Nux Vomica.
2. Aloe: For Urge to Pass Stool After Eating or Drinking
Natural medicine Aloe is the best remedy for the urge to pass stool soon after eating or drinking anything. Aloehelps in regularising the intestinal movements and put them under normal limit since they are at an increased pace in patients with IBS. Aloe, which is a natural medicine without any side effects,is also of great help for persons who rush to the toilet for stool soon after eating or drinking anything and the stool is loose and may be accompanied by passage of a large quantity of gas. In a few persons, mucus may be expelled along with stool. The patient also experiences pain in the abdomen before and during stool. The abdominal pain vanishes after passing stool.
3. Alumina: For IBS with constipation
Alumina is a natural medicine for treating patients of IBS in whom constipation predominates. Alumina can provide a great helping hand when the patient suffers from constipation of the most obstinate kind. The intestines work at a very slow pace in such patients. The stool remains in the rectum for many days without any urge to pass stool. The stool is expelled out by putting much strain. The stool in a few patients is hard and in others it is soft. But passage of stool is difficult with much effortin both cases. Potatoes seem to be the most intolerable food for patients requiring natural Homeopathic remedy Alumina.
4. Carbo Veg: Natural Treatment for IBS with Abdominal Bloating
The patients of IBS who suffer from a bloated abdomen can benefit greatly from natural remedy Carbo Veg. The patients requiring this natural medicine complain of a heavy and tense abdomen soon after eating. Even the simplest kind of food seems to worsen the condition. The passage of gas or belching provides slight relief. The patients may also complain of acidity with burning in stomach. This is accompanied by frequent loose stool of offensive odor. Cramping pain in the abdomen may also be present.
5. Lycopodium: For Heaviness in Abdomen after Eating
Lycopodium is a very useful natural medicine for dealing with IBS with heaviness in the abdomen after eating a small quantity of food. The abdomen feels full and distended. Gas fills the abdomen. Alteration between diarrhea and constipation is often noticed. The patient’s condition gets worse by taking food that usually leads to gas formation like cabbage. The desire for very hot food and drinks is a very important indicator of Lycopodium.
6. Croton Tiglium and Podophyllum Peltatum – For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhoea and Gushing Stool

Hello DR Sharma, I am a 77 year old male, 5’9” 160 lbs with chronic sporadic IBS over 15 years. 2 years ago I had intestinal surgery for a blockage caused by a mekels diverticulum. This brought relief of all symptoms for a year, but sensitivities resumed for the past 3 months: frequent sporadic lower abdominal pain (not stomach) more during sleep for the past month. Good regular stools, no constitution or diarhea. Stool test shows inflamation causing GI Dr to recommend a colonoscopy. I avoid spicy food, eat a well balanced diet of salmon, chicken, rice and veg’s, exercise regularly, meditate, and take probiotics. I eat some sweets, drink coffee and alcohol (2.5 0z of vodka daily). I’m also have various autoimmune disorders that are managed by supplements. Thanks for your consideration.

My ailments are before and after taking main meals I find abdominal pressure to go to toilet invariably. I have no abdominal pain or cramping. Morning motion is not clear because of constipation. I am 69 years old. What are the homoeopathic remedies?
I had small bowel resection 8/16 after a complete blockage caused by scar tissue from hysterectomy. Bowel would not wake up for 2 weeks. Since hospital discharge 9/1 I have had several bouts of severe cramping pain that seemed to be triggered by certain food and too much food at a time. Each time I had to go on liquid diet and the cramping continues for several days. Before the obstruction I had a sensitive gut with chronic constipation, frequent bloating and gut pain and GERD with diagnosis of Barrett’s Esophagus. I’ll start keeping a food diary, but what do you recommend for the cramping pain?
