This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The extra drops *might* cause more aggravation than necessary, that is all. We will see.

Thanks. It is 24 hours. My father said that today he had less trouble of gas. This could be by chance.So, I shall give him another dose in few minutes. 'Correctly' only 1 drop in 1/4 cup (and 1 spoon from that).

I wish to mention few things but I will do that afterwards.

After 2nd dose yesterday evening, my father reported today morning that he had severe bout of that usual 'acidity' ('fullness', 'gas', indigestion, in lower abdomen and heaviness in upper abodomen, etc) at about 2 am at night.

I had put only 1 drop in 1/4 cup yesterday.
Should I give him 3rd dose of Carbo Veg 6c? If I do not get reply, I shall go ahead with 3rd dose today evening.

Increase the amount of water to 1/2 cup.

Did you hit the bottle twice?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thanks for a quick reply.
I will increase water to about 124 ml.
Yes I did hit the bottle twice and I shall do it while giving the dose in 1/2 cup (~120-125 ml).

I gave another dose of Carbo Veg. 6 to my father with 125 ml water. By mistake a 2nd small drop also fell into water.
Today morning my father reported that (after the dose) he did not have that much trouble since yesterday evening.
I will give him a dose again today evening (2 hits, 1 drop in 125 ml, one spoon).

Hello Dr. David.
So, yesterday (23rd night) I again gave my father a dose of Carb Veg. 6c.
Well, today morning there was a swelling 1 inch below left eye on face/cheek. The shape and size was that of cashew. This is quite a new thing. And secondly he was sneezing excessively after getting up and going for walk which is usual for him. Sneezing is quite expected since weather is cloudy and windy here with very slight rains due to arrival of rainy season.
My father mentioned a specific word for that bulge below the eye it but it is not useful here in this forum since it was in our local language.

Then I asked him in morning (as well as few minutes ago), 'What about your digestion?' He expressed that yesterday acidity wasn't severe (and it was less day before also). On digestion front he said that he had 30% improvement (30% is quite high and hard for me to believe). He added that he still felt heavy in abdominal region.
Two days ago when there was trouble after 2 doses of Carbo Veg he had expressed his old complaint that he had always been adding since the beginning - 'I just don't feel hungry and don't feeling like eating. I have observed that when I eat a little in afternoon (2 pm to 4 pm), I get this acidity problem. If I do not eat anything in office after 11 am till evening (6:15 pm), except for a cup of tea, I am better and do not face that severe acidity/heaviness/indigestion problem. (Though I am not entirely trouble free.)'

It is possible that since he stopped eating in afternoon since 2-3 days, he is feeling better.

Dr. David, Please advise what to do next. Should I continue few more doses of Carb Veg 6 or should we think of Carb Veg 30 now to find out how much is Carb Veg helping?
 
arb_all last decade
30% is quite good. I wonder if that is accurate.

Why has he never stopped eating in the afernoon before?

I would get hold of Carb-v 12c. Lets move to that potency first.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I talked to my father around 1:45 pm.
Well, at 6:15 pm my father told me after coming from office that just after talking to me, he had cramps in abdomen. He said that this problem had come back after long time. He also adds that when he has cramps, he then feels like 'gas' and then eventually feels terrible with gas/pressure/heaviness/severe acidity in abdomen.

Answer to your question:
After his bypass surgery in 2006, he started ahving this problem after few months. So, everybody in family suggested variety of things. We also suggested eating something (light) in afternoon to avoid long gap in eating, maybe just biscuits, fruit something mild and light. Then he used to do that. Sometimes it must have been okay, most of the times not. His office room owner is caterer. So my father would cautiously eat Indian bread (of wheat not fermented by yeast) or rice to avoid any random food. He won't eat everday. He wasn't too comfortable, though not in great trouble too.
I simply asked him to experiment and find out the suitable combination of food, timing, quantity and skip of food. I even asked him to avoid 'meal' items if they felt heavy.

All in all he hasn't been consistent in anything. But mostly, his food is very light/mild and routine.

So, it is hard to explain but when things are in control for example in full summer, full winter, etc., he is better whatever he may or may not eat. But when he has trouble, he searches the cause. Yes, afternoon eating discomforts him and he has been sensitive to it but this comes out and he feels it only when trouble is too much. If trouble is consistent for 2-4 days, then he will be uncomfortable even without eating in afternoon.

(He took Gelusil today.)

He is applying external ointment on 'swelling' on cheek below eye. He was talking of taking 'Cetrizine' since it is painful. Though I asked him not to take immediately, I won't stop him actually at night.

My apology for a long post. I will try to put things in brief.

It will be difficult to get Carbo Veg. 12c. I will let you know.
 
arb_all last decade
My father has himself added an information.
He says that when he has to strain at stools then his problem is less. But when the stools come out on their own with pressure (without his straining), then he has greater problem of cramps in abdomen, acidity, pressure and all that.

Still trying to locate Carb Veg 12.
I have a feeling that Carbo Veg is not incorrect for him (even before we started 6c).
Dr. David, will Carbo Veg 30 do?

If we go too high too quickly you may miss something important. It is better to move up the scale with the fewest jumps in potency.

If you simply cannot get 12c, then yes we can move to 30c.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I shall give one last try to get Carb Veg 12c in next 4 days.
I was able to give only 2-3 doses of Carb Veg 6c to my father in last week because I myself am not feeling well at all.
 
arb_all last decade
I have ordered Carbo Veg 12c. I do not know when it will arrive.

Due to the 'crampy' feeling, my father has started Pantodac 40 mg presently. He said that he has felt much relief in 2 days by Pantodac.

To avoid aggravation, I didn't give him Carbo Veg 6c in 4 days.

Dr. David, I will update as needed.
 
arb_all last decade
Dear Dr. David
I have ordered Carb Veg 12c several days back. Yet to receive it.
I will update you then.
My father has been under lot of discomfort all these days. I let him Pantodac (Pantoprazole) for a week. Then he stopped. Now again he shall take it for day or two.

Dear Dr. David,
After this unending wait (and after my special efforts with local authorities) I have finally received Carb Veg 12C !!!
It is a liquid dilution from WHP, USA.

Kindly tell me at the earliest how to administer dose(s) to my father. His condition has been the same. No improvements (or even worsening for that matter). Same indigestion and sneezing problems. Only that he kept taking Pantodac for several days to control the situation. Then stopped for few days. He has started taking it again perhaps. But I will ask him to stop it.
You kind reply is awaited.
(I will tell you later how frustrating it was to wait for the medicine.)

Dear brisbanehomeopath,
Please reply to my previous post.
I know I have replied after really long time and you would almost loose touch with the case but I was helpless. The medicine Car V 12C reached me after 4 weeks!

Kindly suggest how to prepare dose for my father.
 
arb_all last decade
Dear Dr. David, kindly read two previous posts and reply.

Dear Dr. David,
Please read the three previous posts and reply. I have got Car Vg 12C now. How to give the dose to my father?
 
arb_all last decade
Just give the dose the same way you did the 6c. Daily as before until an aggravtion appears.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
That is very kind of you to reply.
I will give the doses and let you know.
 
arb_all last decade
I gave about 6 doses of Carbo Veg 12C to my father in past 1 week. Everytime i have hit the bottle twice before putting the drop in water.
Yesterday I asked him how he felt. He said that things were just the same. 'Just that 50% improvement....'. I questioned, '...But you said that it was about 30% improvement the last time...?' to which my father replied, '...Yes, that 30-40% improvement...'. But his tone was that there was no further improvement and his condition was stuck to where it had been.

Dear brisbane, please suggest if we should move on to Carbo Veg 30C or just continue few more doses of 12C.

No I have not particularly observed any strong aggravation yet.
[message edited by arb_all on Sat, 20 Aug 2011 04:50:45 BST]
 
arb_all last decade
yes it is time to move to 30c.

It is strange - do you think he is getting more improvement but not being very forthcoming about it?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
No, I do not think he is getting more improvement. Rather his sudden claims of 30% or 50% are less convincing.

After a long time he has gone out of city today by car-taxi. He has gone 5 hours away. He has always been more comfortable with road travel than by train. He is averse to trains.

I mentioned this since in last few months I had also added about his aversion to travel or fear of travel.
 
arb_all last decade
Well let's see how 30c affects him and we can reassess then.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Dear brisbane,
I was very busy so last week I could give only 3 doses of Carb Veg 30 to my father and that too on alternate days.
After 3rd dose, it looked like aggravation. He had the usual stomach pain and gas and all but he complained more of pain.
So I stopped Carb Veg.
Though I could not update you in last week and I have not been able to post regularly, I am totally following your advise only.
The latest is that he had 'strong' aggravation after Carb Veg 30 (in nearly 70 ml water) so I stopped. My guess is that he is going to aggravate even with 120 ml water. But I will do as you suggest Dr. David.
Kindly suggest next step.
 
arb_all last decade
Aggravation is usually followed by improvement. What has happened since then?

To reduce aggravation, you don't just keep increasing the amount of water, you may need to reduce the number of hits of the bottle to 1, or take some of that water out and put it into a second cup. However, it really depends on how he reacts after the aggravation (assuming that is what it was).
