decreased intestinal motility
Apologies for a long description to provide context. This is for my wife, aged 52:Immediate symptoms: For some time now my wife says when she eats most foods it seems to just be stuck in her stomach/abdomen and not move leading to a feeling of bloating, severe discomfort. The greater the amount of bulk/fiber in the food the worse it is. Liquids seem to be okay and move through her system. In her own description, she feels pouching of food and abdomen feels tight and distended
In addition, if she eats wheat based food, she experiences burning sensation and discomfort with stools. This may be related or separate, I don't know. She feels that the stomach tension is worse with fatty food.
I have tried low doses of Nux just treating it like indigestion with no effect. I have also tried Sepia just based on some past history with no effect.
Right now the takes stool softeners & laxatives to help. It has limited relief but with all the typical problems. She takes senna leaf, aloe vera pills, calcium/magnesium supplements mainly. Ever increasing doses as you might expect from a superficial treatment.
Some time back we saw a doctor who did some scans and found significant accumulation of fecal matter in upper intestines that seemed resistant to movement. He was the one who suggested aloe and a few other approaches.
In addition he found there appeared to be some mild obstructions in bile duct which he felt would clear up with time. Again, not sure if this is related or separate issue.
Past Background:
She did not have most of these symptoms earlier. But a few years ago she was found to have a large growth, grapefruit sized in her lower abdomen. This was surgically removed successfully. Though the growth was benign, the doctor warned that given the size of the growth there was a cavity in her abdomen and all organs would have to move around and readjust and there would likely be some effects.
I don't know whether this is related but it would seem to be given that the majority of symptoms followed it.
Can someone provide me some guidelines to diagnose and treat the condition?

So you are not an advocate of the Hahnemannian single remedy approach?
That is what I usually prefer but I could try out your suggestion. I would have to get Ars 3C first though

To follow your approach I already have Lycopodium 200C. Is C and CK the same thing for following your suggestion or do I specifically need to get Lyc 200CK?

I should have asked this question earlier, but when taking multiple remedies at the same time, is it okay to literally combine them all into her mouth at the same time or should they be taken one at a time with a small interval?
Right now she is taking all at the same time but I thought I should clarify. There are still a few more days left to reach one week since starting.

Today we completed one week of taking the medications you mentioned earlier. No effect at all on the condition, neither better nor worse.

Dr Anuj, today we completed 4 days of following your suggestion of Nux Vomica 200C.
First day little change
Second day passing stools little easier but and reduction in burning sensation when passing stool
Third day, stools still easier but burning sensation returned
Fourth day - stools easier and burning sensation reduced as well
I should mention that is possible that the variation from day to day could possibly be diet based because we were at a party and might have consumed some wheat based food in the middle of this period.
Please let me know your suggested next steps. Till I hear from you I will continue with Nux V 200C

Fortunately you have picked two out of the very few 6X remedies I already have on hand. Will begin them immediately.
I assume you also want these to be taken half an hour before meals

Additional question: Right now she is taking Arnica 30C for a completely unrelated muscle injury from physical work.
Does it matter if she is taking that in addition? Does it affect your suggestion in any way?

SHE CAN CONTINUE ARNICA.

Sorry, I was unable to give feedback after 4 days as I was traveling. It is 9 days of taking the medication now.
For the first 5 days there was remarkable progress. Initially decreased pain and somwhat easier bowel motion and by the fifth day very easy motions, close to diaorrhea with no pain.
But strangely on the 6th day the pain and difficultly of bowel motions returned along with pain. Right now she is still taking the same medication as per your last suggestion but there really does not appear to be any effect.
Please suggest the further course of action.

Unfortunately an additional complication has arisen with the condition that I would like your advice for.
A few weeks back around Sept 18, while doing some work she developed some muscular soreness and internal brusining on left arm. You might recall that earlier in this thread I mentioned she was taking Arnica 200C for this.
After a few days muscular pain was improved and she stopped taking Arnica.
But since Sept 23, some bluish clotting was visible around area of original bruising. With increasing sharp pain in multiple locations on arms and legs.
She has had a past history of Deep Vein Thrombosis and it seems reasonable that possibly she is developing clots internally.
For now I have just restarted Arnica 200C since I understand it is helpful with clotting but please let me know if you have suggestions for how to treat.
Also, whether it affects your earlier suggestion of treatment for unrelated digestive issues (Zingiber Q).

Thank you, fortunately I have Lachesis Mutus 200C on hand and can start immediately.
I assume you also want me to stop Arcnica 200C which I was giving earlier on my own. I also assume you don't need me to give anything else to antidote the Arnica which was taken just a few hours earlier.

Another question: my allopathic doctor has prescribed some blood thinning medications for the blood clotting condition.
I am currently taking the Lachesis your recommended, do you forsee any concerns if I take the allopathic medications as well?
