Sorry for late reply. I will statrt Lycopodium 30 from today. Also as you asked, my bowls are not clearing in morning properly even if I try for two to three times. It takes a lot of time and pressure> I feel heaviness particularly in upper abdomen and also some warm feeling in anus.

Hi I have taken Lycopodium 30 as prescribed, but still I am not finding any appreciable difference in my condition. Please help and suggest some accurate remedy.
