Unable to pass stool completely. Feel lethargic an have headache. IBS

Thank you for the reply.

I have procured both the medicines and Yakult and started this morning. I will share the feedback after 15 days.

I forgot to share earlier that in the distant past I have taken even BC-04. It was effective, except that I developed bloating feeling after about a week. It became very severe and eventually I had to drop it.

Further, I have a problem of inordinate amount of passing gas. It is very embarrassing and uncomfortable.

Hello homeo_helper,

Around 6 days have passed by and I am sharing a concern, while I continue taking the medicines.

Yes, there is some relief. The evacuation is less stressful and sometimes I don't have to go for three times. Looking forward to further improvement.

As I indicated in my previous post, BC-4 in the past has caused bloating in my stomach. That exact bloating experience is coming back and is already making me uncomfortable. What do you suggest? Is it okay to drop just BC-4 and continue with Nux Vomica 200 only? Please advise.

Regards.

Hello homeo helper,

I have finished 2 weeks of the course and here are my observations:

- Firstly, thanks. Yes, there is big relief. Passing of my stools is now less stressful.
- After my uncomfortable bloating experience, I stopped taking BC-4 after 6 days. The bloating retracted thereafter.
- I still do my water therapy in the morning to develop pressure. My stools now are not well formed, although I don't have any problem with that.
- I still have to make three attempts for full evacuation. However, the first attempt evacuates maximum and rest evacuation in the remaining two.
- Now, my first stool has maximum mass. Second is lesser. The thirst is mostly gas, and a lot of it.
- After passing stool (especially after complete evacuation), I feel weaker in my stomach and also palpitations in my stomach. This problem has reduced in the last 3-4 days.
- My gas problem is still there. My stomach is rumbling all the day and I keep passing gas throughout.
- So my primary problems now are rumbling in the stomach, passing of gas, up to three rounds to evacuate stomach, feeling week and palpitations.

Although I still have above complaints, I still thank you because my you have helped in tackling my primary problem. I can safely say that there is 50% improvement.

Please advise next steps.

Thank you, syria for your reply.

I have tried Isabgol in the past in many many ways. However, it always causes constipation. Hence I cannot experiment further with it.

Hemeo Helper's prescription have benefited me and I will wait for him to reply for next steps.

Thanks again.

Hello homeo_helper,

Your response is eagerly awaited. Until then, I will continue taking Nux Vomica & Yakult as originally prescribed.

Regards.

Hi homeo_helper,

I have finished 10 days of taking Lycopodium 200. Here are my observations:

- The relief I got while taking Nux Vomica 200 has reduced. Now some of the bowel movement stress is back.
- I have to still make minimum three attempts in the hope to clear by gut.
- I feel strange dryness inside my gut throughout the day.
- I still feel weak after passing stool and there is palpitation.
- I am unable to generate any urge to pass motion without water therapy. Unless my bladder is full, I cannot pass motion.
- After I started Lycopodium 200, there was almost 60% relief from gas formation.

Please advise next steps.

Hello homeo_helper,

I am eagerly waiting for your reply for continuing my treatment.

Thanks.

Hello homeo_helper,

I am back after 10 days of medication (2 doses of Nux Vomica-200 during day time and one does of Lycopodium-200 at bedtime). Here are my observations:

- Ever since I have started Lycopodium-200, the relief I got from Nux Vomica-200 has significantly reduced.
- I am back to being unable to clear my gut satisfactorily during the day. Everyday, my experience is different. Some days are good, rest are not.
- There is reduction in my gas problem. Almost 60%. However, now I have difficulty in passing gas.
- If my gut is not clear, I develop headache by the afternoon.
- I still feel weak after passing stool and there is palpitation.

Please advise next steps.

Hello homeo_helper,

I have been taking Nux Vomica 200 as per the prescription.

My feedback is that my condition is not very different from my original condition. I still have to go to stool for minimum three times, I cannot develop pressure/urge to pass stool, it is impossible to pass stool without full bladder and sometimes my gut is not clear even after going three times. The only advantage I see so far is that I don't struggle much if I pass stool successfully.

I am very upset and tired of my situation. Please help me out with your reply. If there is more information you want, please ask.

Looking for a quick reply. Thanks.

24. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance
I am mid-sized. Physically, I have a regular appearance, but I am weaker than people of my age. My belly is out of shape. After taking a raw-vegan diet plan, I reduced from 96 Kgs to 73 Kgs. Now I am back to 80 Kgs after my diet plan has been disturbed.
25. Any special points you feel necessary to mention
All through my last 20 years I have felt that I do not carry enough stamina/strength in comparison to people of my age. Due to family issues (discussed earlier) I am mentally disturbed and feel like a failure. I have good intentions and great plans, but until I do not feel comfortable, I do not start working. I do not commit anything in future to people because I do not know how I will feel on that day. I do not like to wear tight clothes. Tight clothes around my stomach trouble me.

Thank you.

Hello homeo_helper,

Looking forward to your reply and prescription based on my previous reply. Thank you.

Hello homeo_helper,

Thanks for replying.

In the past, I have taken Calc Carb-200. Unfortunately, I developed strong nausea immediately and had to discontinue.

Please recommend something else.

Thanks & regards.
