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.

I am 60 years old. Underwent r-hemicolectomy for TB of intestines at 19. Underwent hysterectomy at 28 for acute endometriosis. Kept suffering from stones in kidney (calcium). Gall bladder removed at 40 followed by surgery for inguinal hernia. Underwent several lithotripsy procredures under GA. Later went thru a PCNL procedure. Had septicimia. Then about 2 years ago had intestinal hemorrage diagnosed as diverticulosis. Underwent sphincterectomy this yr. have been having cramps followed by bloodied stools. Will homeopathy help at this late stage? I am terrified by colonoscopy because it was an extremely traumatic experience for me.

I am Suffering from rectal discharge which spoils the cloths frequently. Rectal discharge in watery form with yellowish/soily colour. It is result of long suffering from frequent loose motions for years together. Now, no clear loose motion but pain and cramps in stomach give feeling like loose motion. Aggravates in the evening or when trying to walk or even when standing for more than 10-15 minutes. Aggravates on exposure to cold, water or even on extreme heat. Aggravates on mental stress. Intolerant of milky items, oily or spicy items. Untreated water aggravates the symptoms. Patient is a perfectionist, sensitive aggressive and ambitious person. Frustrations due to rectal discharge have caused extreme sensitivity to cleanliness. Earlier homeopaths have done experiments, worsening the symptoms. So I want treatment only if you are fully confident.

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I am diagnosed as a ‘case’ of IBS and is having problem since 1990, losing weight, having exercise intolerance and a low blood count (WBC – 2600 to 3000/cmm, RBC – around 3 mill/cmm, Platelets – 75 to 90 thousands. Bone-marrow – early myelosclerosis. My pancreatic enzymes are moderately high but USG, CT-Scanning, MRI did not reveal any organic abnormality. Endoscopy & colonoscopy revealed nothing special and the duodenal biopsy showed mild flattening of the mucous membrane. Since 2006 I was being treated by Dr. (Prof). H.S. Bhattacharyya (Homoeo) of Kolkata with much relief to my abdominal symptoms (blood parameters however did not change but was maintained at a steady level) . To my misfortune he left us permanently throwing me to a sea of sorrow & tension.
Recently I have been having frequent attacks of passage of mucous (white as nasal mucous and sometimes as mustard oil) with flatus, often involuntarily. Local Homoeopaths help me with Merc Sol. Ars Alb, Sulphur, Nux Vom, Natrum Sulph etc. I get relief of symptom better with Ars Alb, but the condition recurs too often.
Please help me. Can my blood picture be improved and a little weight & strength be gained?
I am a pathologist, taking only homeopathic medicines from 2006 (with of course Thyroid hormone for Hypothyroidism). I am 70 and my weight now is only 44 kg.
Thanks.
IBS FROM 5 YEAR …Taking treatment from MD of homeopath .He used mostly all medicines you suggest but no proper relief. Nux Vomica give me some relief but it has some side effect on my body like Sleepiness, tiredness, skin dryness, hair loss, loss of concentration in study etc
