I am suffering from IBS since long. Symptons include - loose stools, nausea, bloaating, slight pain, little appetite and very tired.  Is there any cure for this in Homeopathy. Kindly help me out as this disease has impacted my life enormously.

Welcome to FORUM;

Homeopathy can work wonders ,but needs respect and sicerety by its patients;

There are plenty of medications,NUX v,Ars .Carbo V to name a few .however it would be best to see a good qualified homeopath near you,who will do a case taking about your lifestyle,physical mental and emotional sympptoms beside general symptoms,Also aeteology has to be considered .There are other factors such as what homeopaths call MIASM.

So do see a classical homeopath,I am confident that you can overcome your IBS

Good luck

Thanks for the encouraging replies. I will definitely look for a homeopath .

I have been to several allopaths and have tried ayurvedic medicine also but without much results. Are there chronic cases which have been treated successfully by homeopathy and if so, then what is the timeframe in which one can expect results?

I know of a case where the patient was running to the bathroom about 17 times a day with blood in the stool and burning pain. She was looking frail and white grey in color and so so weak when she came for treatment. She had been to several medical doctors and was just getting worse and worse and her hair was falling out.  They were giving her stronger and stronger drugs that she got many side effects from.
The case took three weeks with one homeopathic remedy and she had no more diarrhea etc.  As the intestines healed she had a temporary rash on her stomach that was very itchy.  The medical doctor then put her on cortisone cream and the IBS was pushed back into the body and she started getting problems again.  She was explained to not to push the new symptoms back into the body.   She then left off with the medical doctors and went onto another homeopathic remedy and a few others to follow up.  Even her hair came back and her skin became healthy again.  She remains well,

Deal members,

With encouraging opinions form this forum I have started
homeopathic treatment and its been 3 weeks now. Since
then I am feeling little better now. He is a well known homeopath in this area and has prescribed medicine
based on my general symptoms.
Though general weakness and consistency of stools has
improved but I still feel heaviness, rumbling especially after eating & bloating in stomach and
tasteless feeling in mouth. Sometimes I feel that
appetite is improving whereas sometimes feels tasteless
with no desire to eat.
My homeopath has suggested that I should eat whatever I
want to without any diet restrictions.

I would like to know is this how a homeopathy works and
my condition will gradually improve. Is the homeopathic
working on me or should I discuss the course of
treatment of homeopath and if needed look for another
homeopath.

Jammy ;

good to hear that you are improving under homeopathic treatment;

Homeopathy treats the patient not the disease;This is the core approach of treatment in Homeopathy.Since you state that medicine is working and that as per your homeopath you can eat whatever you can as signs of recovery surfaces,why not give the treatment some more time.It is doing no harm to you and further your homeopath knows what he is suppose to be doing.If you feel better mentally also about your wellbeing i can only suggest that give Homeopathy a chance to prove itself;;;

In any case your own judgement should be the criteria what you do next;

Been on homeopathy since last 3.5 months for IBS treatment. I am bit
frustated with the process as my doctor prescribing and changing
medicine on each visit after listening my symptons.
Though I must say there is definite improvement in my energy levels
and at mental level but the stomach symptons still persists - appetite
going up and down, pain , heaviness, bloating gas, bitter taste in
mouth. Though sometimes when doctor changes medicines which works I
feel that everything is working fine and I feels very optimistic but
than things again start becoming negative lie my current state.

Many times I thought of changing the doctor but the improvements at
mental and in energy levels made me thinks that let's give him some
more time atleast something in improving. I don't know how long will
take to see real effect on stomach problems.How long should I persist
with him?

I have strong faith in homeopathy and strongly believes that by
persisting with it I can be permanently cured. Am I right? Forum
members please help me out I am feeling down and depressed.

These are the present symptoms.
 

ABDOMEN - DISTENSION

STOMACH - PAIN

MOUTH - TASTE - bitter

STOMACH - HEAVINESS

STOMACH - APPETITE - changeable.

under what conditions the above mentioned symptoms are worse or better.For example stomach pain worse or better by drinking or eating something.At what time they are worse or better.In which position it is better or worse etc,Unless the symptoms are complete in every respect,remedy selection is difficult.

Consult your physician again tell him the details.I don not think it is difficult to solve the problem.

sajjad.

Dear Jammy
You posted:"My homeopath has suggested that I should eat whatever I
want to without any diet restrictions.............................................."
Sorry but I have to disagree on this important factor.
This dietary intake might be a big causefactor in your symtoms.
Maintaining a faulty dietary intake will cause a hurdle in your progress.
I see this often with patients-just one
example of -Autistic spectrum children:
They do wonderfull on homeopathic remedies If the correct one is found.
All these children have bowel +digestive imbalances.
They cannot eat sugar,glutens,dairy of anytype or symptoms reapear.
Staying clear of these dietary intakes makes sense.Wink
 
You also mentioned you have had your symptoms for a long time,And your on homeopathy only a few months. Most CHronic cases take a bit of time to completely resolve. My estimate is one month for each yr of symptoms.(just an estimate some more some less).
If your throwing in the fact that no dietary changes have been made it will take even longer.
 
Just to add: 
And Yes Even PARASITE BASED  pathogens causing IBS type symptoms can be cured  100%using homeopathy!
Think about dysentary,Ecoli- homeopathy has a 200+ history of cure ............................
you may feel gratefull that homeopathy survived the attempts of allopaths to destroy it- MARK TWAIN

It's been now more than 7 months I have been on homeopathy for my IBS. But my condition is not progressing well with ups and down and at present down seems to be back to square one. My homeopath is a very reputed one and follows advanced homeopathy. As per him it will take time but will be cured. I consulted another reputed classical homeopath and he suggested that "my current homeopath is very good one and he might also treat me same and he prescribes me medicines in classical way and said if you want you can start his medicine or continue with your current one". He also did not put any fiet restriction and said I can take everything in moderate quantity.
Now does that mean homeopathy cannot cure my case or am just not getting the right kind of treatment. Where to go and whom to consult don't know? Friends do anybody has any suggestion for me.

This isn't an easy question to answer. As a patient you have a right to expect results. Obviously homoeopathy doesn't work like orthodox medicine so patience is required but we do have a principle called Direction of Cure and while that is showing things moving in the correct way then it is appropriate to wait. I have had cases that might take 6 months, 12 months, for pathology to clear away. Perhaps even longer, depending on the severity of the tissue changes.
 
However this should only be in that kind of pathology, where the tissue has changed. For purely functional illnesses, the results should be a lot faster. It is still somewhat individual, but as a general rule of thumb I expect the correct medicine to relieve functional symptoms within 3-5 weeks. Depending on a number of factors, it might be slower or faster than that. And it might not be complete relief but you can see the improvement, in intensity, in frequency.
 
If this situation were happening to my patient, even with the mental or general improvement, I would be considering that I have not yet discovered the correct medicine for you. One of the main features I notice, about the correct remedy, is that the patient who has received it stops complaining. The first thing they do when they sit down is tell me how much better they feel, and it is difficult to even drag out symptoms for them to complain about. They are more positive about their condition, even when the symptoms are still there. The moment a patient sits down to start complaining I am considering an incorrect medicine. In fact on the correct medicine, THEY are usually the ones tell me it will take awhile for all their symptoms to go! Smile 
 
The suffering goes down and their patience goes up.

Thanks David,

I know its about being patientce perhaps its becuase  I am keeping faith in my homeopath since last 8 month. But for patience you also need hope. Do you think that IBS cases espcially like mine are curable in homeopathy.

Thanks
Amit

There are over 5000 remedies so clearly the right one can be difficult to find sometimes. It is not usually homoeopathy that fails the patient ... it is us. It can happen for lots of reasons, our approach is not suitable to the situation, our knowledge of materia medica (the medicines and their uses) is not enough, we don't have enough information (or the necessary piece of information). The patient may need a medicine that has not been made yet, or the pathology is incurable (as far as our remedies currently are capable). Direction of cure might not have been observed carefully enough and the medicine was changed too soon.
 
I believe that, assuming you do not have some kind of hidden pathology, you are curable with homoeopathy. Whether your homoeopath can cure you is really the more important question, and one I cannot answer for you. You need to be a smart customer and complain, or demand, better service. It is your right to do that. Or to find someone else, a new perspective can help, and not all homoeopaths are made equally Smile

Two of my patients have improved to an extent of 90% and are happy to be cured only this extent of 90% improvement. Rx edited.. in water as enema at bedtime.

(Giving a single remedy name for a particular condition without indications is not suitable practice.)
