I am working with a patient with a patient who 20 years ago had a sudden flare up of burning pain in her entire digestive tract- throat to anus. She describes it as burning, intense and constant.
I have tried Hypericum with some temporary relief, Apis is some short term relief.
Could this be Luesinum or Mezereum?
Thank you for your advice. This person suffers greatly and needs help.
Maybe she could have leaky gut syndrome. Maybe consider checking her for gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

I smoke approx 8-10 ciggrettes a day and i eat a lot of carrom seeds on daily basis. Like 30-40 gms a day. Can these b the triggers. Also i have been on sedatives (stressnill 0.5 mg) since last approx 20 yrs. Also i eat lot of laxatives like dulcoflex and kayam churna tablet on daily basis. If i dont eat laxative, mybstomach does not get clear. So hav to hav it no matter what. Also i am a migraine n vertigo patient for which i have been taking medicines from past almost 15 yrs. Plz advise . I cant bear this priking pain. Its too much to bear.
