The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Please help me for my abdominal ailment.

Hello. I am a male, 35yrs of age and a software professional. I will briefly put in points my problem:

1. I need to drink loads of water as first thing in the morning to build pressure. 30 mins. later I can go for excretion but I don't feel completely evacuated. About an hour later, I go again and then I feel marginally better.
2. The feeling of fullness remains throughout the day.
3. I feel that abdominal muscles are stretching all the day. I never feel relaxed.
4. While I am only slightly on heavier side, I feel very fat. I feel there is a huge loath on my belly.
5. I feel extremely dull and demotivated all the day.
6. My concentration and focus level is very bad.
7. I tend to get tired very quickly.

I have most of the above feelings for more than 8 years. My visits to all kind of doctors (including homeopathic & Ayurveda) hasn't helped a bit.

I recently read about Alumina and I could relate it's description to my situation. However, I am looking at a holistic solution. Please help.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
In Alumina there is lack of urge to pass stool, so that may not be your remedy.

Please copy the Questionnaire from the following thread
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/188925/
and post all the questions here duly answered. On that basis your remedy may be worked out.

1. Describe your main suffering?
I need to drink loads of water as first thing in the morning to build pressure. 30 mins. later I can go for excretion but I don't feel completely evacuated. About an hour later, I go again and then I feel marginally better. The feeling of fullness remains throughout the day. I never feel relaxed. While I am only slightly on heavier side, I feel very fat. I feel there is a huge loath on my belly. I feel extremely dull and demotivated all the day. My concentration and focus level is very bad. I tend to get tired very quickly.

If I take salad, I have constipation. Isabgol leads to constipation. Fruits like watermelon are also bad for me. Milk is bad too.

Normal

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs?
Normal

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
I dont feel complete evacuation. It takes a lot of effort to excrete. I feel very fat and full.

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
I sleep straight, face up. No problem with sleep.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
Never. Because I am upset with my wife, I usually avoid sex. BTW, my problems existed before my marriage.

I am a good thinker, good strategist. But actions disappoint me.

Hello. I have taken the medicine as per your prescription and here is my feedback.

Changes:
--------
Yes, after a long long time I observed impact of medicine in my condition.
I feel evacuated after 2 trips in the morning, if I am on light diet
I can feel my abdominal muscles relax a bit (about 20% improvement)
I feel lighter in my head during the day (I don't know how to describe this better but there is a relaxed feeling in my head)

Problems:
---------
If I eat heavy food at night I struggle with burning & evacuation problem the next day. With very light food, I'm okay.
I continue to feel dull & lethargic for most of the part of the day. I'm not motivated to take up even simple jobs and procrastinate a lot.
My abdominal muscles are very stressed all through the day (although some 20% improvement is there)
I still feel very fat around my abdomen and that makes me very uncomfortable.
Ideally I wish to evacuate when I go once. Otherwise I end up wasting many hours, because I wait to go for the 2nd time and until that I cannot do anything else.

Further to the above information, I want to add that I have gas problem as well. When I eat anytime after noon (until night) I develop gas and is difficult to pass. I usually do vakrasan to get relief. But I cannot do it in office, so I feel very uncomfortable most of the time.

Please take three doses of Lycopodium 1M as follows-

take the first dose now
after 7 seven days take the second dose
after 14 days (of taking the first dose) take the third dose

Please report after 20 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.

Please don't take any remedy on your own and if you go to another doctor tell him that you have taken calc and lyco.

I wish to communicate one more problem.

My abdominal area is very sensitive to clothes. For that reason I wear very thin & oversize clothes for relief. I read somewhere on this site that Lachesis could be helpful. But I don't want to take it without proper advise.

What do you suggest me in this case?
 
Bairagi last decade
Lachesis is not the only remedy for such problems. Please go ahead with the plan and report back. Calc and Lyc are very deep acting remedies and they are not directed at just one or two symptoms.
 
kadwa last decade
Ok, thanks. I shall stick to your prescription and revert after 20 days.

Hello Mr. Kadwa.

Here is an update from my side after being on Lyco 1M.

- I have some relief from my gas problem (approx 70%)
- I see some progress in my evacuation also, but it is yet to be satisfactory. The feeling of fullness has reduced a bit.
- I still feel very dull and lazy (very demotivated). The lightness in the head I felt after taking Calcarea Carb has now gone.
- Feeling of fatness is still there
- I still have stress on my abdominal muscles
- I feel tired very soon after even walking for 1 kilometer
- I am still feeling lack of focus, concentration and alertness

I am really looking forward to you to improve my overall health and performance in day to day activities.

Constant urging to stool with no result and pain(all day) ...requires >> Merc. Sol.

Take Merc Sol 30C three times a day...reduce frequency as you improve...like making it twice a day then once a day.

Hellp Mr. Pankaj. Thanks for your response.

The problem is that (as I reported earlier) I don't even develop urge for stool. The mechanism that works for me is that I drink 1+ liter water as the first thing in the morning. This helps in developing urge after about 30 mins. I go for excretion and after another 1 hr again I develop minor urge and go for excretion. At the end of it I still feel not fully evacuated and therefore depressed and lazy for the rest of the day.

Thanks.
