burning and bloating upper abdomen after food
Hi, please help me, I have tried so many different things BUT nothing seems to work, from last year I have burning on the upper abdomen right after eating + I have gained about 15 pounds and I have indigestion + bloating on both of my upper abdomen and lower abdomen, pressure on abdomen, my upper abdomen is bloated and big since last year and there is a sensation of nausea specially after eating and I feel like I have water retiontion weight and puffiness. My Doctor gave me prevacid for 2 months and it was helping me with burning (only while I was taking it, i have the burning now that I am not taking it) It did not help me with bloating and pressure on my abdomen, why my upper abdomen is big and bloated and there is always pressure, please help, thank youPS. Ihave been taking nat phos 30x (4 ever hour) helped very very very little

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Nat Phos 6x (Biochemic) is your remedy. Dose 2 tablets taken after lunch and dinner.
Eat light meals and avoid greasy foods like hamburgers.
Nat Phos 6x will also reduce your weight by about 1 pound per week if you take it regularly.
No coffee, cola drinks and preserved meats like sausages, ham and bacom as they antidote the remedy.
Stop all other medication and report response in 3 days.

Nat Phos 6x is the only potency that helps with GERD problems. The 30x as you have already noticed just does not work.
4 tablets will overdose and can be couter productive. Stay with just 2 after 2 meals but you may also take 2 after breakfast if you wish since you seem to be a chronic case.
A problem that you may encounter since you have been taking the 30x is that your digestive system may not react immediately to the 6x. You are advised to not take any Nat Phos for about 2 days to permit your body to stabilize and take the 6x on the 3rd day when I believe that it should work.
Drink plenty of water to flush the system as much as possible.
Remember that no remedy can provide a quick fix for your problem which you have sufferred from for some time. If Nat Phos 6x does not help in 2 days, there is a possibility that you may be having a problem with your Gall Bladder which may have to be checked by a specialist.

Also one more question!!!
The ones I bought today, in front of the bottle it says:
Natrum phos 6x (1 Gr. tablets)
in base of lactose usp
on the side of the bottle it says:
compounded according to the biochemic theory of Dr. W. H. schussler
Are these the right ones?
I just want to make sure, because I want to get well real bad!!!!

The Nat Phos 6x you have got is exactly what I want you to use after lunch and dinner. You may take 2 tablets after 15 minutes or earlier if you feel any heaviness in your stomach.
This remedy usually works in about 5-10 minutes after it is swallowed and accelerates peristalysis thereby preventing GERD.
Please report response the day after you use it.

I am drinking a lot of water and camomille tea and a little ginger tea, do you suggest any thing else to flush it out quicker, thanks

Hi Joe, do you know if you get bird flu just by eating birds OR you can get it from someone who has it also (is it Contagious?)
ps. I am going to start nat phos 6x either tommorow or after tommorow, thanks

Hi again Joe,is nat phos 6x safe for a nursing woman, my sister wants to lose weigh, she had a baby 50 days agoBUT she is nursing? thank you
maryam last decade
As far as I know Avian Flu can only be caught by persons who are directly involved in rearing chickens. I believe that there have been about 20 deaths which were directly caused by contact with chickens. I do not think that there can be any harm in eating chicken especially if they are grown in countries where Avian Flu is not known.
The good news is that there has not been any case where the virus has been transmitted from person to person. This hopefully will ensure that there is no pandemic in the spread of the virus.
Answering your question about a nursing mother using Nat Phos 6x, I would not advise that she uses it as this remedy can be transferred in the milk to the baby. She should only use it after she has stopped nursing.

Hi Joe, I started nat phos 6x on friday morning and it helped me with my constipation a lot, which I am very happy and I think maybe that's why I can lose weight with it.
But it did not help me with my upper abdomen burning and bloating (which might help after taking it for a while).
You see I don't have GERD symptoms (acid rising up). my symptoms are:
1) as soon as I swallow food instantly I have burning sensation on my upper abdomen
2) bloating
3)indigestion
4)weight gain and puffiness
I think I have low stomach acid NOT hyperacidity!!!
today I took it before eating and I had a little bid less burning!!!
anyway I am going to continue it for constipation and lose weight.
If you have something else that I can try for LOW STOMACH ACID please suggest, thank you very much

Yours is an interesting case and I would like to know what your doctors whom I presume you have consulted in the past have diagnosed. As you know it is extremely difficult to diagnose an ailment without meeting the patient and the fact that our team of dedicated advisors on this forum have been able to help people with ailments is in itself a testament to the efficacy of Homeopathy which cannot ever be matched by Medicine.
For instance you would have been prescribed Antacids by MD's which would only have served to neutralize the acid in your stomach but they do not have the equivalent of Nat Phos 6x which accelerates the passage of food from the stomach down the gut. You have already noticed the ease of your constipation and this is the result as the food does not stagnate in the gut but is expelled into the colon in a relatively soft state as against previously when the food took a longer time and the body absorbed it more fully, thereby causing you to gain weight and also rendered your stool hard.
I do not believe that you have low acidity as your food cannot be digested if this were so. You stated that when you took the tablets before a meal that you felt better. Do continue to take them before as this may be the answer. The fact that they have helped with your constipation can only prove that you have no major problem with your digestion and I can visualize that your sphincter valve in the esophagus is eroded by the acid over the years has to rebuild itself.
I would also suggest that you keep your stomach busy by eating a snack like a biscuit in between meals to ensure that the acid and enzymes are kept from eroding the mucous layer in the stomach and attacking the muscle layer in the stomach, causing pain.
The Nat Phos will help the food to pass more quickly into the gut thereby preventing the build up of acid which I believe is the real cause of your discomfort.
You will have to be patient with the progress of your therapy as your stomach will have to get used to the new regimen and cure itself.

Hi Joe, believe me no body knows what's wrong with me!!! that is my problem!!!
All I know is that my symptoms started with smoking cigarrets. I smoked for a long time, quit, smoked again, quit, smoked again, quit, smoked again, and quit again 10 months ago, but few months before I quit I could feel the change on my stomach. I have seen MDs and homeopaths and herbalists since last year. they have given me
-over the counter anti acids
-prevacid (didn't have burning while taking BUT I think my stomach is worse now that I have stoped)
-nux vomica and lycopodium (felt a little better, only
while taking)
-my homeopath with the machine
gave me fig tree (didn't feel much better after taking)
-at the homeopathy pharmacy, they gave me nat mur and told me to take three 15 mins before eating 3 x a day (helped with water retiontion while taking)
and then at the health food store they gave me chamomile, peppermint tea (helped with a little with bloating while taking)
-I did a liv-max for a while
after researching on the net, of my symptoms I think I have LOW STOMACH ACID. because I came up with a comment that said LOW STOMACH ACID SYMTOMS are:
indigestion
bloating
constipation
burning sensation in the upper abdomen
weigh gain because you don't digest food
my digestion is very slow
I eat very light and food that don't need much digestion most of the time, light food, only flax seed oil and virgin olive oil, and no other oils what so ever, small piece of fish (salmon, white) small piece of 2% chicken breast, nuts, seeds, vegatables and this kind of foods
if I don't eat anything for 3 days and do a juice fasting, no problem, no pain, no burning, no water retionshion, I look very thin!!! but on the other hand if I take 3 chewable calcium tablets after a large meal, I feel better!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to continue with taking 2 nat phos 6x before each meal, and report after a while, thank you for your help, you are a caring person, thanks a lot
and I heard about the earthquake, and I hope you are not near there, there was a big earthquake in my birth country IRAN city of BAM last year and about 50.000 people died and I was very sad again yesterday when I heard about the earthquake in Asia, where are you from? if I may, thanks

I am beginning to wonder if you have some problem with your Gall Bladder which can cause your ailments. It is perhaps premature to jump to conclusions but since you have had it for the last 10 months it may be worth having it checked by a specialist if the Nat Phos 6x you are now taking does not help you to get over your problem.
It is my pleasure to help to alleviate any ailment and I am glad to be of help to anyone in distress.
I live in Sri Lanka which is about 3000 miles from the Earthquake(s) which are still ongoing in Pakistan. It is possible that the death toll can even surpass the Bam earthquake as up to now the estimated death toll is over 25000 and adding.
This was similar to our own disaster which occurred on Dec 26 2004 when the Tsunami hit Sri Lanka causing over 30000 deaths and about a million were displaced as their homes were flattened by the 3 waves one of which was over 25 ft in height and causing the sea to invade the land over a mile inland.

Hi Joe, for some reasons i thought you were Indian, I am happy that you are safe now.
If it is my gallblader is there any homeopathy remedy?
Or even before I check my self is there any homeopathy remedy just to clean your gallblader?
like I did a liver cleanz with liv-max and then Oxi-met.
and lymp cleanz with lymp-max
and kidney cleanz with KDN-max
is there such a thing for gallblader just to clean it???
because at the homeopathy pharmacy they told me last week to buy the detox-kit, they have a doctor who does free consultation for remedies, who I think doesn't know much!!! thank you

I am just amazed by the number of Cleansers that you have taken so far.
Please do not use any more as they obviously contain various chemicals that cannot do you any good as they are only marketed to make people feel that they are missing something without these cleansers which you are not.
The best cleanser is water and large quantities of it. I do not mean canned coke or some other equivalent. Just plain water preferably Spring water which you can get in supermarkets. You should aim to drink at least 4 ltrs daily or more if possible. You will discover that you have to visit the toilet more often and by this means your kidneys will be able to leach all the harmful chemicals in your body stored in the liver and other organs safely in the urine.
I will not be surprised if your problem with your digestion will also stabilize in a few days with the water therapy.

sure I will increase my water intake to 5 litres a day, right now I drink 3 littres a day.
PS. all of the cleansers I took are 100% natural. BUT I know I am a little extreme sometimes!!!
I will report in one week, thanks again

Hi Joe, i am still taking nat phos 6x and I have seen 2 changes on me! at this is the only thing I am taking right now, so it's because of that.
1) I don't have as much apetite as before (thank GOD)
2) I feel a little happier than before (I guess being constipated all the time is depressing!)
I am still drinking lots of water, no improvment on my other symptoms yet, I guess I have to go and check my gallblader if there are no changes by next week as you suggested, thank you
I read your comments about Arnica
my mother is 63 years old and she has back and shoulder pain but she feels it's more bone than muscle, do you think Arnica 30c (because I have 30c at home already) wet dose can help her. please let me know, thanks
she is not taking anything for it now. thanks

Keep on taking the Nat Phos as it has helped with your constipation and hope that it will also help to reduce your weight. It is absolutely safe to be used as it is only 1/1Millionth of the original salt Sodium Phosphate.
You can take the Arnica 30 and also share it with your mother as it can only do anyone who uses it, a lot of good as it is doing me at my advanced age of 76 years.
If you mother does not respond she should use Rhus Tox 30c made up in the same manner for her shoulder pain which can be Cervical Spondylosis. Dose twice daily. She can take it with the Arnica used just once daily.

Dear. Dr. I have been suffering from stomach problem since last 3 years, I have now got endoscopy done and it reveals it to be antral gastritis i.e. inflamation at the end of the stomach...
My symptoms are i start feeling infalamatory at the end of the stomach after having had meal... I have used Nat Phos 6X 3 tabs thrice a day after meal, which helped by first enhancing the symptoms and then decreasing gradually. during the course i took spicy food and symptoms reverted that i had to take alopathic medicine again, as nat phos alone wasnt working, what do you have to suggest me now as i have just started using nat phos 6x with alophatic medicine but should i take 4 tablets, 3 tablets or just 2 tablets as you have been advising to take 2 tablets...

I am amazed that you state that you are also suffering from Antral Gastritis. The coincidence of 3 patients presenting the same ailment at the same time is interesting.
Please visit the links below which pertain to 2 patients whom I have been treating during the past few days and follow the same therapy I have prescribed and report progress in a week.
