CRAMPS, BLOATING AND CHANGES IN BOWEL HABITS MAY POINT TO IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME, SAYS
DR. VIKAS SHARMA
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 have constipation while others have diarrhea and experience both intermittently. The cause of IBS is not known. Doctors call it a functional disorder because there is no sign of disease when the colon is examined. 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. Other IBS is just a mild annoyance, but for some people it can be a disabling. The colon (part of large intestine), which is about 6 feet long, connects the small intestine with the rectum and anus. The major function of the colon is to absorb water and salts from digestive products that enter from the small intestine. Two quarts of liquid matter enter the colon from the small intestine each day. This material may remain there for several days until sorbed into the body. The stool then passes through the colon by a pattern of movements to the left side of colon where it is stored until a I bowel movement occurs.
Movements of the colon propel the contents , slowly back and forth but mainly towards the rectum. A few times each day, strong muscle contractions move down the colon pushing fecal material ahead of them. Some of these strong contractions result in a bowel movement. Because doctors have been unable to find an organic cause, IBS often has been thought to be caused by an emotional conflict or stress. While stress may worsen IBS symptoms, research suggests that other factors are also important. Researchers have found that the colon muscle of a person with IBS begins to contract after only mild stimulation. The person with IBS has a colon that is more sensitive and reactive than usual, so it responds strongly to stimuli that would not bother most people. It is important to realize that normal bowel function various from person to person. Normal bowel movements range from as many as three stools a day to as few as three a week. A normal movement is one that is formed but not hard, contains no blood, and is passed without craps or pain. People with IBS, on the other hand, usually have abdominal pain with painful constipation or diarrhea. In some people, constipation and diarrhea alternate. Sometimes people with IBS pass mucus with their bowel movements. Bleeding, ever, weight loss, and persistent server pain are not symptoms of IBS but may indicate other problems.
Ordinary events such as eating and distention from gas or other material in the colon can cause the colon to overreact in the person with IBS. Certain medicines and foods may trigger spasms in some people. Chocolate, milk products, or too much alcohol are frequent offenders.
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.
Fat in any form (animal or vegetable) is a strong stimulus of colonic contractions after a meal. For many people, eating a proper diet lessens IBS symptoms. Dietary fibre may lessen IBS symptoms in many cases. Whole grain breads and cereals, beans, fruits, and vegetables are good sources of fibre. High-fibre diets keep the colon mildly distended, which may help to prevent spasms from developing.
The conventional system of medicine has practically no treatment but homeopathy does, for it does not treat diseases but humans beings suffering from diseases, thus giving a total cure. As a comprehensive holistic approach to health care, homeopathy is able to offer solution to many of these problems.
Use of Nux Vomica four times a day provides great relief to patients who suffer from cramps followed by little stool many times a day. Aloes Socotring helps when the cramps are followed by varies from sudden loose motions, at times causing the patient to person to person. Normal bowel movements range from soil his clothes before he even reaches the toilet. If the as many as three stools a day to as few as three a week. A problem originates from overeating, try Antimmonium normal movement is one that is formed but not hard, crudum and Pulsatilla. If it is caused by any excitement, contains no blood, and is passed without cramps or pain. the cure lies in Argentum Nitricum and Gelsemium. When loose stools are associated with menses, Bovista dominal pain with painful constipation or diarrhea. In ,and Lachesis prove very helpful. Carbo Veg is indicated some people, constipation and diarrhea alternate. when the abdomen feels bloated immediately after eating. Serious food allergies like milk intolerance and movements. Bleeding, fever, weight loss, and persistent coelic disease (wheat allergy) are curable but require a deep study of the case and should be handed by a professional homeopath.

Dear Sir, Have been suffering from IBS symptoms for last 6 months (urge to goto toilet after every meal was there earlier also but situation was in control) which seems to have got triggered during my strong medicinal/ allopathic treatment for cervical spondelytis. All tests have been normal (CT/ Endo/ Lipid profile/ Na/ CK/ Stress Echo/ etc), but now after many changes of doctors/ hospitals, the situation is that I have lost weight (~ 10kg in 6 months), exercise (total 40/50 minutes walk every day morning + evening) pass stool normally in morning, but stomach is severly bloated after morning b/fast and leads to breathing problems/ anxiety/ BP fluctuation, even when there is seemingly no other reason for it. Feel very lethargic and short of breath at times. Afraid and unable to eat sometimes. Starts improving towards evening but the days are ruined. Allopathic doctors have referred to a psychologist but I want to refrain and take allopathic medicines for that as a lat resort. Can this be treated/ Kindly help..?

Many a time I feel very much hungry, it seems stomach is totally empty. Please suggest some remedial medicine.

Honoured Sir,
Respectfully I am to submit that from the last 14-15 months I have to go for stool time and again
approximately 3-4 times in a day and stool is neither hard nor so loose. Some time there is also gastric
problem/ pain in stomach. I am also loosing facts in my body and become weak. The weight of body is
60
Kg at present and height is 5’4″. But it is surprised to me that for my physical work/ exercise I am not
feeling weak rather energetic. Doctor prescribed me Oflor OZ which after taking lessen my problem
for some time but again the same problem. Please suggest me any medicine or way to get relax from my problem. Also suggest that whether anything to worry.
Dear Sir,
I have been suffering from the following problems for the last few years:-
1) I have to go to toilet(for bowel clearance) 5/6 times everyday–once in early morning, once after morning tea, once after breakfast,once after lunch and once after dinner.
2) I always feel that I have to go for bowel clearance after taking any kind of food and on each occasion sometimes it is not cleared.
3) I do not feel/have any pain or any other physical problem or indigestion,rather I always feel hungry,except going for bowel clearance 6/7 times which is most embarrassing.
4) Stool is always normal in plain eyes.
5) About a year back local doctor prescribed to take Tab. Lactofol. As long as the medicine continued, bowel restricted to 3/4 times. But on stopping the said medicine the same problem has started and persisting on.
6) In brief bowel is not cleared within 1/2 occasion though I don’t have any other problem or discomfort.
In the circumstances I want to be treated under your advice/control.
Looking forward to your reply.
