Case 9- a case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) treated with homeopathyHistory: A 50 year old lady presented with a long standing history of irritable bowel syndrome.She was the mother of a doctor & an old patient of diabetes taking oral tablets for the same. For the last few months the problem had aggravated to great extents. She now had no control over her bowels & would often soil her clothes. She passed about 8-10 loose motions daily. For the last many years she had stopped taking most of the food items except four or five because everything seeemed to aggravate her IBS.This also lead to frequently fluctuating blood suger levels &body weight. When she came to me she was under a gastro-enterologist's treatment but had no relief whatsoever. Due to frequent soiling of her clothes, she would be under great stress if she had visitors at her house or if she had any social function to attend. Her daughter was equally stressed, for though being a doctor herself she was unable to do anything to help her mother.Examination & treatment: My first aim during treatment was to help her regain her bowel control so that her distress could be relieved & her confidence brought back to some extent. So for the first few days, treatment was directed towards this goal. Within the first 3 weeks her soiling had greatly reduced & would occur maybe once in 2-3 days. Also her motions had reduced from 8-10 per day to 4-5 per day though they were still loose. She was still as inconfident though & the thought of having visitors at home or going out would bring on the diarrhoea again. I assured her that this would settle in due course & not to worry too much about it. After 2 months of treatment, the soiling had totally stopped & for the first time in many years she undertook an outstation train journey though under great stress. But the journey turned out to be good with no problems whatsoever, bringing back her confidence a little. |

Result: After she returned from her journey I encouraged her to starting taking some of the food items which she had stopped over the years. She was not very willing though for the fear that soiling might start all over again. After a lot of persuasion & an emergency homeopathic medicine to be taken in case she got worse, she agreed to try out some of the food items. Some of the stuff caused no problems but a few food substances did cause diarrhoea & occasional soiling too, but most of the episodes would stop after 2-3 loose motions on taking the emergency medicine. Over the next few months, she was slowly encouraged to give up as many food restrictions as possible except sweets(due to diabetes). She was now able to socialise with much more confidence than before & no more had fear of guests at home. She is still on treament after one year but now her blood sugar has stabilised & she has also gained some weight. Besides she is now able to consume most of the food items significantly most fruits & vegetables. Soiling is very rare & episodes of loose motions, whenever they do occur are brought under control within 2 motions. Otherwise her motions are now normal & only once or twice a day. | |||||||||||||||||||
