2&1/2 and 1&1/2 Year olds getting sick very often _{Page 3 of 3}

Hello Joba,
I am no medical doctor, and by no means a homeopathic or holistic Doc. If I could I would help myself first. But few things do come to my mind that I feel compelled to let you know. Knowing a little bit of the culture, I will mention a few things, though you might already be doing all of it. Please consult the Homeop. doctor about my suggestions before trying to follow.
It is good thing that you have become vegtarian as red meat tends to digest slowly and is slow to pass through the lower GI. Which means it stays longer in the bowel, and rectum re-absorbs water from stool, making it hard.

Fish oil or flax seed oil a teaspoon every night is also good as it lubricates the path.
Some people are allergic to chilly pepper and spices, you might also want to avoid them completely until you get well.

Drinking lots of water with honey (unfiltered and pure) every morning, khajur (dates and anjeer everyday for the rest of your life might help. Do not take too much of isabgol it will make your stool hard. If you have bael or bhindi-eat those as much as possible until you heel, and also take care of your weight (too much weight on belly also causes it)
If you could, do these in addition to the medicines prescribed here.Also worry will make it worse, try to do something you like while in bed, so that you do not worry.

I hope you heal soon.

Isabgol is a bulk laxative which means that isabgol forms bulk on swelling. Isabgol contains large quantities of a gelatinous substance, which absorbs water and thus forms an emollient gel that facilitates the passage of intestinal contents and stimulates bowel movement. Isabgol does not affect the absorption of other nutrients. It is not absorbed by the digestive system and passes unchanged through the intestines. Therefore the action of isabgol is purely mechanical, as it relieves constipation by mechanically stimulating bowel movement.

Just because it absorbs lots of water, if you are nnot drinking enough water during the day,orif you are drinking tea/ coffee or other dietary foods that may be are acting as diuretic (making you expell a lot of water in the form of urine) then it might do the opposite of making stool soft-it will make the stool hard and cause you more suffering.But if you feel it has been helping you, that will mean you are taking it correctly, and then please continue, it is very good for you.

Flax seed oil 1 teaspoon should make the passage very nice and lubricated. Also apply the same oil in your belly button every night.

I do not know how to solve honey problem, here in US govt has announced that honey coming from India and neighbouring country is being sold by China and re-packaged in these countries, and they do not know that china is sending then sugar and dirty water mix as honey! So if you have any local person who has honey try to get that. Please reduce the spices in your ifter meal (I know-my doc-rahiq will not be happy with me saying this, but my ownpersonal experience says that).

Aegle marmelos is the sceintific name of the bael fruit, type in google. It is very very good, if you can find it. It is summer fruit, hard shell with sticky glue like seeds in it, we make sharbat in summers, eat as it is--try and find.

Bhindi is shaak--Okra, lady finger are all its name Abelmoschus esculentus


Let me know if you have any other question.

Doc Rahiq,
My elder daughter constipation is continuing. Not only she has been going only once a day, but also it is hard pellets like goat droppings. We are stuck in this rut, because if she has not evacuated, we try to stay at home until she does.

This weekend we have escaped having any cold or flu, which I am happy about.

Please advise, should I order any other medicine or just wait?

Mine is better than yesterday and a lot better than day before y'day, but not completely better. I am feeling burning and churning sensation in my stomach.My hair has started falling too.
Please advise.

Waiting for your reply.
Raj

Joba,
flax= tisi=linseed=Linum usitatissimum

You already like the good things, just try to find a local source and take them regularly.

I meant vendi, not its leaf.
You already like it.

Dr. Rahiq,
Posting update:
My daughters sleep seems better but consitpation is continuing. She still afraid of taking bath and even my hair being wet. She continuosly complains when I wash my hair.

I am not having thin stools like something is left behind sticking to the walls of the gut.

Please provide guidance.
Thanks.

I will do that doc, what about me? I just read my post, I had typo--instead of I am not having thin stools--it should be I am having thin stools that requires a lot of straining on my part, and I still feel something is left behind. Please advise. Also, should be do something about her potty?

Hello Doc, Hope you are doing well. On my side--Elder one woke up at 3:00am (goes to bed at 9:30pm) and was awake in bed wanting me to be by her side until 4:30am or later (I fell asleep). Her potty is still the same, goat like pellets, first and then a little bit of hard potty. Also she goes standing-up -we have tried very hard to get her to sit even while wearing diaper, but she wont. She has completley refused to go in the pot,although she is very good at going all by herself in the pot when she going for urination. I am feeling she might fall back on her earleir poor sleep pattern too.

I am having the same problem regarding the bowel movement, hard and difficult to expel. I have nasal discharge to my throat through right nostril that began last week after the flu.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hello Doc, I really will like your input now. It has been 2 weeks now since elder one took medicine.
She had a few good night sleeps but again she woke-up at around 3:00am and wanted to get up and play. Her potty was in the shape of dry balls yesterday. As I see her constipation problem is not showing much improvement. Also, another thing I remembered about her wehn sh ewas born and wanted to know if there is any homeopathy resolution for that. She had a dark brown spot on her back-It is still there, it is very slightly raised and has extra dark hairs on it. It is still there although less noticable. She also had some bluish-black patches on her back that almost gone now. Before her birth at 5 months of pregnancy I had to go undergo amniocentesis because of maternal and paternal advanced age (because of our older than normal age at the pregnancy we had bigger chances of Down's syndrome or other genetic abnormality). And this was done for my second pregnancy too.--MOre information if it will make any difference in the treatment.

Thank you Doc, this will prove to you that I am old and my memory is almost gone. After so many days I remembered of this!

Please send me your update.
Thanks a lot.
