Irritable Bowel Syndrome

[Guest guest]

I believe its mainly caused by diet, but I'm sure stress

doesn't help. Have you been eating anything different than usual? Lots of wheat

or dairy? I know many, many people who have been cured of this by following the

Eat Right 4 Your Blood type diet. Especially if you're a type O and eat

wheat--its very damaging to the digestive system. Could also be just some bad

food you ate?

I'm experiencing my second attack of IBS in

one year. While the first attack was obviously stress-related, I'm not

aware of any major stressors that could have triggered this one. However, I

understand that this is generally caused by stress or

diet.

Hi Florie:

 

As one of those annoying accessories to my fibromyalgia, I have

also had to deal with IBS.

 

Here are a couple of things that have been useful for me:

 

I did an " elimination diet " to locate items that may have been

personally irritating to my system. For me, that included 'raw'

dairy (milk and ice cream) and fatty foods (like deep fried or

greasy items), syrupy or sugary foods, and many 'junk food'

items. Spinach, which I love, turned out to be a surprise

purgative if eaten raw (spinach salad). Though milk and ice cream

were a problem, yogurt and cheese were not.

 

I also learned that if I ate slowly I had less of a problem; the

faster I ate the more irritable my bowel. So, I try to eat in a

conscious, sedate fashion; taking deep breaths and doing some

affirmations that support my body absorbing and utilizing my food

appropriately have helped.

 

I avoid drinking large amounts of fluids at one time, especially

around or during a meal.

 

There is definitely a direct connection between the sacral chakra

and the bowel. Emotional upset can cause a spate of diarrhea as

the body tries to eliminate what it perceives as 'toxic' by

purging.

 

I try to avoid taking any medication to reduce the motility of my

bowel, preferring meditation, deep breathing and direct

application of energy by laying hands on the abdomen. I've also

found a heating pad helpful for cramping, and the scents of

peppermint, lavender and chamomile.

 

Let us know how you are doing, will be sending you some extra

energy to use as you need :-)

Caroline, Katy, Lilla;

 

Thanks for your good thoughts and energy. I realize that there is a strong

body-mind connection here (I hate the word 'psychosomatic', which still seems to

carry a stigma, rather than indicating that your body is responding to something

other than a direct, organic dis-ease or a whack on the head with an ax

handle!). I especially appreciate the chakra and aromatherapy info. Been doing

daily Reiki self-treatments and both the heat and the energy really seem to

provide a great deal of relief, albeit temporary. The discomfort has been

diminishing daily and, after a week of hell, I feel almost 100% today. Crow,

you're wonderful. I'm sure that the energy you sent made all the difference.

Thanks.

 

There is a great deal of information (good, conflicting, and bogus) about IBS on

the web. However, its a real relief to know that the people on this list are

caring, knowledgeable, and generous with their suggestions.

 

For me, reassurance is key. Just realizing that, as hellacious, debilitating

and uncomfortable as this might be, it's not gonna kill, me goes a long way

toward helping me deal with this as a temporary inconvenience. I'd be

interested in learning how other list members cope with any type of

'psychosomatic' (is there a more appropriate word?) disorders.

Carol,

 

The problem for many with IBS is an inability to break down and absorb certain

forms of carbohydrates (polysaccharides). This is not the same as a gluten

intolerance. There is a book and a website you can check out. If I remember

correctly, the author is Elaine Gottschall and the title is something like

" Breaking the Viscious Cycle. " Hope this helps.

Hi Penel,

 

< aren't you confusing

irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with the auto-immune disorder

inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?>

 

No. I checked, and she covers both actually. Here are a couple of entries from

my Google search. (I did, however, spell Vicious wrong. <g>)

Hi Claire,

Though I'm not completely convinced on the etiology you suggest as

belonging to the second adventure I mention, aren't you confusing

irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with the auto-immune disorder

inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?

 

Penel

12+ years IBD

whose colonoscopy done yesterday looked normal and wishes she could

say the same about the ankylosing spondylitis which is also part of

her IBD adventure

House.. in Virgina.. it really helped.. if you are interested, I will tell you

Has anyone on the list had any first hand experience with this? I was just

diagnosed with this and am seeking alternative methods to ease it. After

reading up on it, apparently I have had it most of my life, at least since

my late twenties. I am 48 now. I have ALOT of gas and bloating to an almost

unbearable level.

 

TIA,

Carol

if recomended potency is not available, then you can take any potency. something is better than nothing. you can take 10 pills for 01 drop. it better to start the second remedy few days (3 to

7 days) after the first remedy.

Asalam Alayikum,

 

Sorry for disturbing you again and again, but it was necessary to inform you that, Medorrhinum 10m is not available in UAE, only Medorrhinum 30CH available in Tablets form not in drops, kindly advise.

 

I have purchased Natrum Muriaticum 30, but not yet started as I was not sure whether I can take this medicine alone or both of the medicine is having any combination.

In homeopathy, there is no name for any diseases. We treats total symptoms (symptoms of disease + symptoms of patient). As i have not mentioned morning or evening, that means you can take them anytime. Yea, ten pills together.

Walaikum Asalam, (May ALLAH Always Mercy on you, for your great help)

 

Sir, I am very touched and pleased with your reply / help, could you please advice me, what disease is this? for which I will be very grateful to yourself.

 

Also kindly advice the following:

 

Medorrhinum 10m (is there any specific time in a day to take this medicine)

Natrum Muriaticum 30 ( Do you mean I have to take ten pills together @ once in a day)

Aassalamu Aallaicum (The blessings and mercy of almighty ALLAH be upon you). Thank you very much for giving me chance to serve you.

 

Þ

 

(1) Medorrhinum 10M

(Take this homeopathic medicine 1 drop only one dose [be careful, no repeat]).

(2) Natrum muriaticum 30

(Take this homeopathic medicine 10 pills 1 time daily for 02 weeks).

Try to buy Germany or U.S.A. made medicine. Stop the medicine for a few days if your disease condition aggravates. Do not change my recommendation on potency and dose, otherwise you may get no benefit. Write to me after 2 weeks with a detailed account of changes you got from the medicine. (N.B.-your problem will most probably take 06 months to

cure fully. )

 

warm regards

Dr. Bashir Mahmud Ellias
