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
Dear Dr Sharma,
For some time now gas traps in my stomach and does not exit. I can hear the rumblings. After some time I start getting cramps which are quite severe. They last for 2 to 3 hours and I start vomiting which gives me great relief. I may have two or three vomits at times. Sometimes one of two loose motions even.
I got all tests done like sonography, blood and stool tests, cndoscopy and stomach CT scan and all has been found normal. Even a biopsy after the CT scan was normal. Biopsy was advised by the gastroenterologist since there were a few very small small nodes outside the intestines, on the Mesentry.
I have taken homeopathy medicine for some time. I took China 30, Lycopodium 30 and Carbo Veg 30. These gave relief for some time but not now. Almost a year I had no problems but now again occurring since last 45 days.
Can you suggest a course of treatment. I am 70 years old.

I have most probably what u refer as ibs because all the blood and stool tests have shown no abnormalities. Only i have been tested for h pylori positive by endoscopy and regular stool tests show as acidic. My homeo doctor here says aemeobisis and has prescribed a darkish bitter liquid with no 5 and no 7 of Reckeweg and says the bitter one can cure my symptoms. I hav tried the bitter one but causes a bit of discomfort so stopped it. Can u suggest .
