Homeopathy for constipation IBS is a chronic disorder of the large intestine that causes belly pain, cramping, bloating, inflammation, diarrhea or constipation. IBS treatment in homeopathy looks at both the emotional and physical symptoms of this problem. In my practice, I have found most often a strong emotional element in most cases of IBS together with gut disfunction. In general, the term IBS tends to be wrongly associated with diarrhea. But in reality, there are many people suffering from this syndrome who almost never have diarrhea, but instead are unable to fully evacuate their bowels and suffer from severe constipation. In some people there can be an alternation of both diarrhea and constipation. In people with diarrhea predominant IBS, colon contractions are too fast while in those who suffer constipation predominant IBS, colon contractions are too sluggish; peristalsis is responsible for the symptoms associated with this syndrome. Peristalsis refers to a process of involuntary movements that creates a wave like movement through the digestive system to help propel the food along the tract, this tells us that that the nervous system plays a very important part of developing IBS. It is not surprising to find that many people with this problem tend to find emotional triggers or stress the main source of flare ups and many of those people suffer from depression or anxiety. In people suffering from IBS, the colon can be overly responsive to even slight conflict or stress. These other articles can be helpful in dealing with stress and helping your IBS symptoms Although diet can help to alleviate some of the symptoms caused by this painful condition, it is not a long-term solution as the root of the problem it is not addressed. Diet provides relief for the symptoms but it is not a cure for IBS sufferers. These are some of the homeopathic medicines that I have found helpful in this condition, although the treatment of IBS requires a consultation in order to find out remedies that will target the source of the problems together with remedies to alleviate the symptoms as the case moves along. This list is more directed to manage the symptoms and remedies, can change from one week to another if symptoms change. 1.REMEDIES FOR SEVERE BLOATINGCarbo veg 30: very slow digestion, everything turns into gas.

Could one use Nux Vom 200c twice daily or would this be too high a dose and too frequent.

It depends on the case and symptoms that one is treating. But if needed, Nux Vom 200 can be as useful as the 30c, but for constipation is best the 30c.

I tried Lyco/Ars 200 for a month, but my extreme bad smelling gas/flatulence is not getting better. Could you suggest another option that might help. Stool is changing every day. Sometimes twice a day, then once every 2 days, and the shape/ consistency is also never the same.

the Banerji protocol for IBS is tuberculinum and nux vom. Have you ever used tuberculinum in your practice for IBS? I want to try it, since I was diagnosed with IBS but am a bit hesitant, since really non of the description for tuberculinum applies to me, after reading up on the Materia Medica. I really have bad smelling flatulence that I cannot get rid off, no matter what I try.

You should reassess a protocol at 8 weeks to see what is happening and it is helping. No you need the 3c for this, the BP are specific with the potencies for a reason.

I have suffered IBS over 20 years. I am 65. I have very long sluggish colon that causes terrible constipation. I have tried everything nothing works to correct it.I changed my diet to gluten and sugar free. It helped some. I also have Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto. Both are treated and under control. I would appreciate any suggestions.

No, you only need the protocol when you have an active disease.

Would any of these remedies target SIBO? My daughter has diarrhea alternating with constipation, severe pain from trapped gas after eating anything, even being on a restricted diet, no dairy or gluten. She has had weight loss as well with so much suffering. Remedies seem to help briefly but we can't get to the root of the problem.

It looks like there are some elements you are missing in her case. It is best to try to work with someone that can follow and study case to get to the root of the problem. Meanwhile you can try some remedies from this blog if they fit.

Would pyroluria be considered a condition of the gut because B6 and zinc aren't absorbed? Or is it more a kidney or blood thing? I supplement with B6 and zinc to help this condition, but its less helpful overtime. I would much prefer a homeopathic approach, but can't find anything about it.
