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.

Dr. Sharma: Hope, I can get a satisfactory answer. Some time back, I am experiencing irritable bowel syndrome; I go to toilet to empty my bowel in the morning, stool comes out pretty clear and seem enough, but as days go by slowly I experience some pain around abdomen, After breakfast with yogurt , crackers, cereals, or sometimes with egg and toast, I feel the push to go to toilet to empty my bowel. This time also, I have some release of stools; Again in the evening, after dinner I feel the push to go to toilet, some ABD pain is there. So, I go to toilet again and some stool comes out. I do not eat that much, where is the stool coming from? And how is it digested so quickly? Even though I eat little amount of food, still I have this push to go toilet several times a day; it is not like diarrhea liquid stool. This ABD pain and going to toilet several times are bothering me quite a bit. Dr. Sharma, please advise me what do, and what medicines to take. Homeopathic medicine I have taken in India. Please tell me what medicine to take. You would not know how much I would appreciate that: Quite A Lot!!!. I need to get rid of this problem. Thank you ever so much. Anima Bhattacharya
Dont take wheat or lactose . These are two main culprit of ibs . In this world there is no any treatment of ibs. Because it is a syndrome not a disease . Disease need medicine .. not a syndrome . Take rice or rice made products for 15 products then see the results .Or u can search low food map diet for ibs on google . Or consult a dietician.

hello doctor,
I am 44 and have been on homeopathy from 2007/8. Last year I had a tummy bug which took very long to subside. I now notice that any allopathy medicines give me loose stools. Is it that my body is used to homeo meds? I took a deworming tablet on Saturday night. Unfortunately for dinner were prawns. I have been getting loose stools. My homeopath says it will pass. Do I need to take meds?

Sir, I am 49 yrs old male, has Gilbert’s Syndrome. About two months before after eating fatty food at night I felt as throat & nose blocking in the morning about 12 hours after eating. Since then frequently on every day several times I am feeling nasal congestion & as some thing is hanging in my throat. ENT specialist examined me & found that there is no problem in my throat & nose, nose feels dry & resisting to air passage. I am now afraid of eating any thing & my weight is reduced by 7-8 kg since two months. I do not feel hungry & feel nausea. All tests including USG examination, endoscopy, blood tests resulted normal except serum bilirubin levels. I was prescribed by anti- acid capsules of various brands as Pan-D etc. by number of allopathic doctors but no improvement is there. Now I am taking Livosin syrup thrice a day since 1 month. Will you please suggest homeopathy remedy please?
Thanks!
