The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Attn: Dr KADWA Fibromyalgia and Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

If someone could please assist by making sure Dr. Kadwa gets this posting, I would really appreciate it. I am hoping that you can assist me as I am at a crossroads.

After two years of stomach problems, ranging from dyspepsia, acid reflux, indigestion, bloating heartburn, gastritis, esophageal spasms in the morning and some jerking when I sleep as well, I was finally diagnosed through a breath test with Small Instestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. At the time, the antibiotics really helped but did not cure the overall problem which continues to recur. I now feel constipated a lot as well as all the continual problems I mentioned above. It is difficult to sleep at night as a result. Also, what is making the situation worse is that when I feel inflammation in my stomach, it spreads to my body and my eyes get very red and dry. My doctor says I now also have fibromyalgia as a result of the bacteria and toxins being released by my gut. Also, my face and cheeks get red and hot sometimes and now I also have dark brown spots on my cheeks. I am 51 years old and going through hormonal changes.

Is there a way to address the bacterial overgrowth without further antibiotics? I don’t want to continue using this avenue throughout my life. I have had allergies to foods and pollen, ragweed since I gave birth to my son 22 years ago. Each year the allergies and sinuses worsen and they progressed to asthma and some lung damage as a result. I seem to not digest milk and proteins well and try to avoid them. Sugar and carbohydrates make my stomach worse now. When I take oregano oil, that helps but if I take too much, it can sometimes upset my system. So I have to be careful.

I have tried to do some homeopathy on my own but not very good at it and would now like to address this correctly so we can get to the root of the problem and I would like to know if you would be willing to help me so that I can report my progress over time and not just in short intervals. Would that be possible? The homeopathy I found that has helped from time to time but perhaps not to the fullest because I don’t know how to take them in the right sequence or dosage have been belladonna, apis, phosphorus, rhus tox, colocynthis. I am very sensitive to chemicals for some reason and cannot apply anything on my skin, including fragrances. I also have one mercury filling and three root canals in the past 5 years and often look jaundiced, with brown spots on my face and red eyes that seems to get worse when I feel stomach inflammation. I am trying to include as much information as possible.

I am thin, upbeat and positive even when I don’t feel well and try to do my best overall.

With much gratitude in anticipation of your response.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please take three doses of Mercurius Sol 200 as follows and see how that affects in next 15 days (only 3 doses in 15 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Dr. Kadwa, I took the Mercurius Sol 200 as instructed and did not have any side effects nor discomfort. I did notice my cheeks don't get as red when I eat something that upsets my stomach and no longer feel constipated. However, my stomach continues to be very problematic. When I eat something wrong, I feel inflammation right away and at night, I wake to burning pain due to my gastritis and also acid reflux. I do know I tested positive for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth and in addition to that, I cannot eat grains, milk products, dry breads, broccoli, chocolate, any type of tea. I tested negative for celiac but positive for gluten intolerance. My eyes get red when the stomach inflammation is worse. My blood work also showed anemia, low adrenals (low testerone, estrogen and progesterone) and a positive ANA. My doctor does not think it is lupus but obviously my immune system is getting compromised. I wonder if I have a combination of leaky gut, ISBO, celiac, etc. My stomach is truly a problem. I have tried at 30c potency nux vomica, carb veg, etc...phosphorus 30c helped some but again, I only take them for a few days and stop so I would really appreciate your guidance. Is there anything in homeopathy that would kill the bacteria and fungus?

Dr. Kadwa, guess what? All your great suggestions really helped me and I had been doing fine for a while. Then I came down with a bad flu recently and had to take some cough suppressants and something activated the acid reflux - I feel as though I have gas built up, with lots of belching associated with GERD - this keeps me up at night and most painful are the esophageal spasm and also the ones right under my rib cage. They seem to be more prevelant when I am constipated and less when I have regular bowel movements. I think the GERD is activated these spasms. Also, when I take antihistamines, it lessens the acid reflux and spasms but I can't continue taking antihistamines to relax the muscles from contracting. Can you suggest anything to relax the contractions and also lessen the acid reflux build up and get normal bowel movements again...I was doing so well and had this relapse. Thank you!

PS - Dr Kadwa, I should also mention that the asthma combined with the flu caused a lot of coughing as well..I wonder how asthma also relates to the GERD, acid reflux and dyspepsia. When I have a bowel movement, I feel some of the gas released but the pressure of the gas is one that I feel strongly and seems to activate my asthma as well as the esophageal and stomach spasms. Thanks again for listening.

Please take three doses of Nux Vomica 200 at a gap of 12 hours and see how that affects over few days. If this doesn't help take Hyoscyamus 200 in the same way.
 
kadwa last decade
Dr. Kadwa, thank you. I am doing a little better this week but it is a slow progress. One more question, to help heal the gastritis associated with the acid reflux as well, will the Nux Vomica or Hyoscymacus help? The reason I ask is that sometimes I feel the gastritis goes away and then it comes back again and burns. I welcome your suggestions. Thank you again:)
 
Sarasota last decade
Let Kadwa know what you took-
just the Nux or did you take the Hyosycamus also?
 
simone717 last decade
I took the Nux Vomica and have ordered the Hyoscymacus...waiting for that
 
Sarasota last decade
Hi- just to clear it for Kadwa,

Did you take Hyosycamus in September?

Thanks.
 
simone717 last decade
THank you for asking. I took the Hyoscyamus 30c back in September as that is what I found locally but just ordered the Hyoscyamus 200, which I will take next. This question pertains to helping to heal the gastritis. The bloated feeling of acid reflux is not as severe this week but for some reason the gastritis keeps coming back after I think it has healed. I hope that makes sense.
 
Sarasota last decade
Ok- Kadwa will advise , he is on later ( India time) and he
is not always on everyday, That is why I asked so you would
not have a delay in getting an answer due to more questions.
 
simone717 last decade
Thank you for asking and for caring. I appreciate it. I was doing so well with his suggestions and had a relapse but determined to get better:) Perhaps the 200c Hyos will work better than the 30c on me so we will see. I seem to be allergic to many foods and so I have to be very careful to not aggravate the gastritis or it flares. On the positive side, a lot of the gas build up has subsided and I hope does not recur. Sometimes the symptoms go away and come back after a while. However, I still feel constipated. Thanks again for your kindness.

This can take some time- bc after a lot of this pain goes
with Kadwa's suggestion, you need to be treated overall
to get rid of allergies.

Allergies like dairy, gluten, cause inflammation that can
keep going on for several days. When your immune system
is working well you won't have these allergies.
 
simone717 last decade
Thank you. Is there a treatment protocol suggested through homeopathy to treat allergies or is there something else as a source for treatment? Thank you
 
Sarasota last decade
No protocol, homeopathy is about matching
a remedy to your total physical, mental,
emotional picture and you can go thru layers
getting to the core.

Everyone is different and what cures one person
won't cure another person. Check out the site
of Mary Aspinwall, click free resources on right
of her page and you can read her basic book
on homeopathy,she is a master homeopath and
teacher.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Please know I am very appreciative:)

Attn Dr KADWA: I took the Nux Vomica 200 and also the Hyosycamus 200 as suggested and the Hyosycamus was very effective in helping with the gastritis pain at night. However, it tends to give me headaches and makes me tired. I can handle that but it is the dryness it causes that makes it difficult since I have Sjogrens and the additional dryness is hard to endure. Is there anything else that works similar to Hyosycamus but without the side effects. This week I took the anti-histamine Zyrtec and that also helped relieve the gastritis pain but I don't want to have to take that daily due to how tired and drowsy it makes me feel. I welcome your suggestions which have been so very helpful to me.
