I am 70 year old. I have gastric problem in the left side of stomach. When it aggravates, the gas comes out from the mouth. Sometimes, the presure comes on bladder also. On left side of stomach, there remains heaviness and it occurs in the evenening only. I am also having warts on my testicles but they are not giving any problem. I am taking one allopathic tablet of BP since long but BP is contolled. One tab of prostate also which is also controlled. One Ecosprin gold also I am taking since 4 years because I had Transit Isochemic attack for a few seconds and has a clot in brain but it is not causing any problem now. This Ecosprin is increasing my gastric problem. Please advise.

Dr. Sb. Mujhe Mansik vikar bahut aate hai, koi na koi vikar se bshut preshani hoti hai, Vertigo ki problem, Thakan, kamzori, Muscles pain aur headech rahta hai. Plz help me.
IBS-D Self medicating with aloe socatrina, which gets me thru most days without explosions. After supper still a problem so have added argentum but if I take it too late not effective. The aloe is the only thing that can quiet my whooshing guts before the explosion. Croton tiglium adds little or nothing so I stopped. I learned these from a blog by a Bangalore doc, Pranjali. I have not yet tried the Mercurius. Not sure how to add it if at all. I take 5 pellets of aloe every few hrs and am finally able to resume exercise regimen. Exercise is a big trigger. I read an article lately about digestion and GI docs are as illinformed as they present. I know more than those clowns. My theory: radiation for cancer and decades of asthma puffers dried out my digestiive system until it broke. I think the aloe is somehow replacing the moisture so that intestines can do their job. I don’t think the silver is quite right. Not sure. Aloe is best. W/o the aloe I feel as if I’ve swallowed razor blades. Like all IBS people I’ve ruled out citrus tomato and most raw foods. Neither dairy nor gluten bother me. Seemed to get much worse with menopause but I’ve never taken hormones. Maybe I should have? I prefer not to.
