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

I am thinking of moving to US.Recently I got my hameroids treated because it started bleeding. That led to many complication like cytica and Brusitis. Earlier I used to walk a lot and could take care of it. But now I can not walk and the situation is getting worse. I am also taking thyronorm for hypothyroid. One of the endocronologist told me that I could take it or stop it.

Dear Doctor dated 30th May 2015
Please note that I am a chronic patient of IBS and GERD since the past 20 year or more. Taken various measures aurvedic/Homeo/Allopathic /dietary controls etc etc but there is no permanent relief so far.
I need some critical inputs from you regarding my IBS. Over a period this problem has aggravated despite all the below prescribed medicines by a very good Gerontologist.
Please note that all my reports of Lipid profile/Liver function etc has come back to Normal range. However I need to get Rid of the severity of IBS / GERD permanently out of my system.
At the moment I am taking the following Allopathic medicines, but I want to switch over to Homeopathy for long term permanent cure.
Before B/F
Pentocid-L
after B/F
Normaxin-1
Nebistar SA-1
Liv 52-1
eveing
cardase 2,5 mg
Normaxin-before dinner
Night after dinner
Feliz S plus (sleep is by & large okay with this)
Rosuvas-10 mg for cholesterol-It is at Border acceptable limits
My symptoms of IBS/GERD are as follows–
After getting out from bed I pass 2times stool (Loose in constituency) after a gap of 15 mins from the 1st motion.
After B/F the problem is most severe @ 12:00 to 1:00PM.I pass another motion @ 12:00 PM. The whole stomach get filled with gas and the stomach balloons like hell and don’t feel hungry for Lunch till I forcefully take out the stool (this is despite the fact that I already have 2-3 motion pre and post B/F).despite putting pressure some stool keeps Lying at the bottom of the colon which is very difficult to force out and that creates all the problems. Secondly there is a hard stool formation which lies at the end colon and it is very difficult to take it out and this also blocks the expulsion of gases formed. So in short the whole system is choked inside with gases and stool, without complete deification. The problem is so severe that the pressure of the gases rises to the shoulder and neck region and creates severe sprain/strains and I feel like scratching my Head/ hairs and neck/shoulder back etc to get some relief. In order to get relief from the pressure/starins created in the neck/Lower and back of the head I put Mucane gel which is a temporarily soothes the sprain/starins created by either reflux or the gases which put pressure upwards as they cannot pass from the colon as some stool is always sitting there.This also lead to heaviness at top of the eyes and forces me to sleep after Lunch for at least an hour to get relieved from the severity.
I still could not discover whether the pressure in the nervous system/muscles etc are due to REFLUX or Gases pushing up. Please Let me know what is it…???
Please suggest some alternate good Homeo medicines for Long term benefits that at the 1st place the gases do not form after B/F and if formed they passes out and also all the food gets digested and I get solid motion Like a normal person. Wright now since the hard stool is lying at colon it does not allow the gases to go down hence it travels upwards and puts pressure upwards towards head/neck/shoulders which is unbearable and I get biting feeling all over the body. I am surprised that despite the hard stool, there is Loose motion also sometimes alternately. So in short the whole bowel system has to be rectified in terms of digestion and bowel movements etc.
Would you suggest any tests or operations at this stage so that I completely get of this problem or only regular Homeo can treat this…??
Please help urgently.

I had stomach pain in the left abdomen. When I went to doctor, she told it is IBS. And suggested to have Meva-C for 7day. If it does not reduce then go to a gastrointestinal doctor. When I stopped Meva-C , again the stomach pain started. So I went to gastrointestinal doctor . He told it is colitis and suggested to take probiotics and colospa. I just wanted to know, IBS & colitis are inter-related or not. Which medicine I should continue now ? I am planning for a baby. So are these medicines going to impact ? Please let me know, which homeopathy medicine will help ?
