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.

Aloes Socotring helps when the cramps are followed by varies from sudden loose motions, at times causing the patient to person to person.

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.

Morning bowel incomplete. Urge still exist.pass stool soft but incomplete 3 times daily
My present problem is that I got a severely inflamed intestine with gas pushing up. The nerves in my stomach seem to be infected. All this started with some strong acid that would hurt my stomach and the intestines would stand dancing around as if to escape the acid. Beating against the muscles holding them down. Result – Hernia. And I got an ever recurring UTI problem that would n0t go. Plus my Trigger Finger is returning with associated nerve related problems.
History:-
I got a combination of attacks – all at one time last month. I am being given Argenticum Nitricum because I had severe distended liver with pain(The only problem in stomach for last 30 + years as per USG every year due to stomach pain) . My lung had a pain the moment I woke up everyday. So I was given Staphylococcin 200 for two days, two times. I was asked to gargle for two days with Phyttolacca Q because of a throat infection. I was given Cantharis Q + Apis Mel 200 for my UTI.
My nerve has been affected by some viral 30 years back which has produced nerve related problems & finally also resulted in Trigger Finger two years back. I used to get frequent UTI infections then inspite of best hygiene. Last year it was treated with Penicillum 200 since nothing else worked. It got cured totally with all nerve problems gone then but has returned partially this time again. But I keep getting UTI infections, blisters around my thigh and constant infections around anus inspite of maintaining utmost hygeine.
Could this be Herpes since childhood ?
My wife complaints of pain in left side of lower abdomen. This first time occurred in the month of September 2013. She was admitted to hospital for 5 days. All the reports were normal. Then again on 30th Dec. 2013, she complained about the same pain. We took her to the gastroenterologist and had US of the abdomen. US was normal. Again on 8th Feb. 2014 she felt pain and we again took her to the hospital. Ultra Sound was done but again it was normal. I consulted another doctor who advised no. of tests and CT scan. All tests and CT was on done 15th Feb. 2014 but nothing appeared wrong. Now the doctor says everything is normal you better consult an Urologist. Could you please suggest some remedy. Here I would like mention she is a Diabetic (2) and also taking neuro medicine.
