symphytum 1M for damaged stomach lining

I took lot of nsaids (ibofruben 1 month) recently due to an injury. So my stomach is damaged becoz of that.

I found out in a post that Symphytum 1M can heal the stomach lining.
If i am correct then plz tell me how to take it and how long to take it.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Tula,

1.What was the injury? Is it healed?

2. How much ibuprofen a day did you take? and was the
duration 30 days?

3. How was your stomach before taking this?

4/What are the symptoms you are having- be specific?

5. Have you had any xray, ultra sound, mri to determine
what is the condition of your stomach?

The injury was at multiple places. But they all have been healed. When i took ibofruben (500 mg a day for a month) my stomach conditions got worse progressively. I got more sensitive to spicy and acidic foods. My doc told me its a side effect things will improve once meds are discontinued. After that i was prescribed sucralfate which felt better but it has its own side effects. Antacids are not that effective. So its clearly a lower level of stomach defenses. My stomach was pretty much ok before this. But i had suffered from ulcer years before. But they are ok since a long time. I was healthy before all this.

I didnt do any mri or ultrasound bcoz injury was muscular and minor. Its been two months since i stopped meds. I didnt do endoscopy. I felt scared.

Hi tula,

1. For now I hope you are avoiding spicy and acidic foods.

2. What are the side effects you have from the sucralfate - listed are stomach pain,
constipation, backache, drowsy,convulsions, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain,itching,
skin rashes, diarrhea.

3.Are you taking probiotics? Probiotics will help with this.

4.You can try cell salts, which are a sub branch of homeopathy, and they work
on the cells to get them into balance.

5.I can tell you which cell salts to start with but I need your symptoms.

A. Do you have any coating on the tongue- and if so what color?
Do you have a heat feeling or a burning feeling? pressure, fullness, a tight band,
acid rising up, sore, tender, spasms etc,

B. When is the pain there? All day and night, after eating- how long etc.

C.What if anything makes it better? such as bending double, warmth, eating,
belching, passing gas, etc

D.What makes it worse besides spicy and acidic foods?

The salts or remedies have to match with your symptoms.

If you know what symptoms you have without sulcralfate, please
describe the difference -

Thanks.

1. Yeah
2. All of dem except Diarrhea and convulsion. heavily constipated if i take this and foul gas.
3.I did take but no difference.
4.I did take nat phos 6. and bicombination 25. not much relief. Like I said antacids work only when theres a hypercidity. but most of the time I dont have them unless i take super spicy food. Even PPI and other meds dont work much.
5. My exact sympton without any meds are:
a. Slight pain when my stomach is empty. It seems like I am hungry which is only relieved when i eat healthy food. It can be called as hunger pain associated with stomach ulcer.
b. If i take any oily or spicy food, the pain increases but still its not severe. I have instances of burping and gas but all my symptons are limited to the stomach. bowels regular, no bloating if i maintain my diet. I dont vomit or nausea but theres some rumbling in my stomach whenever my stomach empty. It starts after three hours of eating. My tongue is white. theres no burning or heat feeling. burning feeling only with spicy food.
only eating healthy food and belching makes it better.
citrus fruit juices makes it worse.
I have taken nux vomica lyco, carbo veg ars alb robinia but none of them makes any better.

I got best relief with carbo veg. But it caused very high flatulence and no bloating.

Hi-

Please purchase

Kali phos 6x
Calc Phos 6x
Kali Mur 6x
Calc Sulph6x

Take 3 tabs of each all at the same time. Do this an hour before
meals 3 times a day.

Stop the Sucralfate. calc sulph has an action of coating the stomach.

Try this for 4 days and report.

Did not get an answer from you on probiotics. They put back
all the good flora in the gut. For Right now I would get
some acidophilus probiotic which has a very comforting action
on the stomach area- see if you can get it in liquid and start slow
once a day and build up.

Other probiotics with 8 strains are good , but each person has
to experiment on what seems to work well for them, again
start slow, but if you get a lot of gas, bloating etc then you need
to switch. Sometimes one brand works well for a time and then
does not do anything and you have to switch again.

You can also start by just having some plain , natural yogurt
everyday bc this is a natural probiotic. If your tongue is white,
that means yeast overgrowth and Kali Mur is for that and other
symptoms, but means you really need the probiotics to get
your flora back up.

I originally intended to take symphytum 1M bcoz i read in the forum it helped somebody who healed his stomach lining.
 
tula2011 9 years ago
Hi-you match with the specific
symptoms- Problems with stomach lining could have many symptoms. If you want to give me the link
to that post? I can look at it. I have no idea, what the symptoms were,
who suggested it? ? and how much they know.

Did you ever have the Calc phos as a 6x cell salt? or was it higher potency?

Calc phos 6x- indicated for gnawing empty feeling even after eating
Nat Phos, empty feeling 2 hours after eating
Calc sulph- coats the stomach
Kali Phos-gastric ulcerations
Kali Mur- gastric ulcerations and white tongue

You already had Nat phos and it was in the bio combo also.

probiotics help people who are experiencing effects from Nsaids.
Like I said, you have to experiment with the brand. They all have
different strains. You could just get plain acidophilus or add in yogurt.

Symphtom did not help this person,
and even tho prescribed by a homeopath,
he was being given tons of remedies
one right after the other bc the homeo
could not figure it out.

The only thing that helped this guy was
taking some olive oil after eating-
'tis is again proved when i took olive oil i got some relief.pinolenic acid in olive relief stimulates the secretion of cholecystokinin. '
but intake of ny other oil aggravates the sympton.'-

I would try what I advised, leave out Calc phos if you have had it as a cell salt-
You should be able to tell in just a few days whether things feel better
or not. Up to you.
 
simone717 9 years ago
I didnt no whether it worked for him or not. And also symptons were much complicated and different than me. Only thing i learnt that the homeopath wrote that symphytum was supposed to work for regrowth of stomach lining.

My main aim is to get myself health anyhow. Only thing is that i assumed if pain killer has damaged my lining as described in medical literature
Then i just believed that if symphytum could repair the damaged lining then my problem should be solved.
I have already started taking your meds.(including cl phos)

And i hope that it works well.
If not then plz prescribe me how to take to symphytum. If u think its dangerous enough to take it then i will just drop the plan.
 
tula2011 9 years ago
bc you have not had tests- you don't really know what is going
on-it could be duodenal small ulcers or other things.

So to say I want symphtom is a wrong path-

You have to go by your specific set of symptoms, Cell salts
work on the cells to rebalance. That could work quite well.

Remedies could also be used, but Symphtom does not match
your actual physical complaints. Homeopathy has to match-

that is how it works,

Otherwise you are talking about herbal things- and that is
not homeopathy-

so you could get advice from a qualified ayurvedic practitioner
on this.
 
simone717 9 years ago
Ok ok i will just stick to tissue salt. I have very little knowledge of homeopathy.
 
tula2011 9 years ago
Ok Tula,

keep me posted on what you notice.
