Irritable bowel syndrome* (IBS) is a “syndrome,” meaning a group of symptoms. The most common symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort often reported as cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and/or constipation. IBS affects the colon, or large bowel, which is the part of the digestive tract that stores stool.

IBS is not a disease. It’s a functional disorder, meaning that the bowel doesn’t work, or function, correctly.

Causes

The exact causes for IBS are unknown. The nerves and muscles in the bowel appear to be extra sensitive in people with IBS. Muscles may contract too much when eat. These contractions can cause cramping and diarrhoea during or shortly after a meal. Or the nerves may react when the bowel stretches, causing cramping or pain.

IBS can be painful. But it does not damage the colon or other parts of the digestive system. IBS does not lead to other health problems.

Symptoms of IBS?

The main symptoms of IBS are

• abdominal pain or discomfort in the abdomen, often relieved by or associated with a bowel movement
• chronic diarrhoea, constipation, or a combination of both

Other symptoms are

• whitish mucus in the stool
• a swollen or bloated abdomen
• the feeling of “not finished a bowel movement”

Women with IBS often have more symptoms during their menstrual periods.

Diagnosis

Clinical diagnosis of IBS is based under Specific symptoms, called the Rome criteria, can be used to more accurately make this diagnosis.

Investigation for IBS

In addition to a physical exam and blood tests, the following tests might be done to diagnose IBS:

• Lower gastrointestinal (GI) series. This test uses x rays to diagnose problems in the large intestine. It is also called a barium enema x ray.
• Colonoscopy.
• sigmoidoscope,

Treatment

Treatment may involve

• diet changes
• medicine
• stress relief

Diet Changes

Some foods and drinks make IBS worse.

• fatty foods, like French fries
• milk products, like cheese or ice cream
• chocolate
• alcohol
• caffeinated drinks, like coffee and some sodas
• carbonated drinks like soda

Some foods make IBS better.

Fiber may reduce the constipation associated with IBS because it makes stool soft and easier to pass. However, some people with IBS who have more sensitive nerves may feel a bit more abdominal discomfort after adding more fiber to their diet. Fiber is found in foods such as breads, cereals, beans, fruits, and vegetables.

Eat small meals.

Large meals can cause cramping and diarrhoea in people with IBS.  Try eating four or five small meals a day instead of less-frequent big meals.

Medicine

Nux vom, Sulphur, Opium, Arg nit, Silicea, Platina, Lyco and other medicines according to symptom similarity .Constitutional medicines are more effective for IBS

Does stress cause IBS?

Emotional stress does not cause IBS. But people with IBS may have their bowels react more to stress. So stress can make the symptoms worse.

Stress Relief

Learning to reduce stress can help with IBS.

Meditation, exercise, hypnosis, and counselling may help.

Points to Remember

• IBS means the bowel doesn’t work in right way.
• IBS can cause cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and constipation.
• IBS doesn’t damage the bowel or lead to other health problems.
• Stress doesn’t cause IBS, but it can make the symptoms worse.
• Fatty foods, milk products, chocolate, alcohol, and caffeinated and carbonated drinks can trigger symptoms.
• Eating foods with fiber and eating small meals throughout the day may reduce symptoms.
• Treatment for IBS may include medicine, stress relief, and changes in eating habits.

Vertigo, sensation of spinning around or of seeing nearby objects revolve. Vertigo tends to be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, headache, or sweating.

Diseases of the cerebral cortex, eye muscles, or cerebellum can cause true vertigo, but such diseases are rare. Inflammation, infection, or other diseases of the semicircular canals of the inner ear, such as labyrinthitis (inflammation of the labyrinth), are more common causes and are frequently accompanied by auditory sensations, such as deafness and ringing in the ear (aural vertigo), and by rapid eye movements (nystagmus). These diseases generally last only a few weeks, during which the vertigo is usually experienced briefly and intermittently.

In his article, David H. Frankel explained that Vertigo is one of the least pleasant symptoms one can think of. It is frightening, often sudden and unprovoked, and always miserable. It is not surprising, therefore, that vertigo is a symptom that brings patients to their doctors. Although the word “Vertigo” is commonly assumed to be the same as dizziness, it is actually a distinct type of dizziness.

“Dizziness is a general term for sense of disorientation”, writes Dr. Robert W. Baloh of the University of California in Los Angeles, in a recent issue of the international medical journal, The Lancet.

“Vertigo”, on the other hand, is “an illusion of movement, usually a sense of rotation … a sensation of linear displacement or tilt.” Another distinction between the two is that vertigo, unlike dizziness, is often accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms such as pallor, nausea, vomiting and sweating.

Vertigo can be caused by peripheral disturbances, such as diseases or conditions of vestibular system of the inner ear, or it can be central, due to tumours or other diseases of the brain or brain stem. Doctors can often tell the difference between peripheral and central vertigo by asking patients about their symptoms and then doing a few, simple maneuvers during the physical examination. One of the key findings doctors look for is nystagmus.

Nystagmus appears as rapid, jerky, rotary or up-and-down eye movements that may occur after a rapid change of position.

Sometimes, more advanced techniques, such as brain scans are needed to find the cause. Peripheral vertigo is usually accompanied by more pronounced nausea and vomiting. In addition, patients often complain of hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and the sensation of ear fullness or pain in the ear.

Many of these symptoms are caused by Menier’s syndrome. In this condition, attacks of vertigo are recurrent and accompanied by hearing loss and tinnitus. Occasionally, and most dramatically patients may experience sudden falling spells.

Migraine is another common cause of vertigo, and in fact up to 25 percent of patients with migraine may suffer from vertigo. The problem is most common in adolescent girls.

Vertigo often accompanies the headache, but not always. Sometimes migraine patients with vertigo also experience visual loss, double vision and difficulty in walking or speaking.

In older patients, transient ischemic attacks, or TIAs, are a common cause of vertigo. The attacks begin abruptly and last several minutes. They are due to atherosclerosis of arteries to the brain and patients with this condition often have a history of other atherosclerotic diseases such as heart attacks or poor circulation in the legs.

Positional vertigo is caused by changes in position. One condition, known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo typically occurs when turning over in bed, getting in or out of bed, stooping or bending the head backward to look up. It is caused by head trauma or viral infection. The vertigo is brief, lasting for less than half a minute.

More serious causes for positional vertigo include multiple sclerosis and tumours of the brain stem and cerebellum, the portion of the brain that helps fine tune body movements.

Treatment of vertigo, of course, depends upon the cause. In Menier’s syndrome, therapy consists of salt restriction and diuretics. Occasionally surgery is necessary. Vertigo due to migraine is treated with a variety of medicines intended to reduce the arterial spasm, and vertigo induced by vertibrobasilar insufficiency is treated with aspirin or other drugs that inhibit blood clotting.

But no matter what therapy is used to treat the underlying cause of vertigo, the annoying and often debilitating symptoms must also be attended. None of the agents for this is recommended for long-term use, as they may interfere with the normal compensation process of the body.

However, Homœopathy has a better and most effective solution to different kinds of vertigo and it can be treated quite successfully in a shorter period of time.

Case of Esophageal Cancer

 

Male/ 74 years

Diagnosis: Carcinoma of Esophagus

 

This is the case of a 74 year old railway policeman, Mr. R. S., who came from a small village in Bihar, India. Since one and a half month, there was a mass detected in his upper gastro-intestinal tract at the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. The mass was confirmed to be malignant and the diagnosis of Carcinoma of the Esophagus was established. The upper G.I. endoscopy revealed that there was an ulcerated lesion in the upper third of the Esophagus with a stricture formation.

 

His complaints were as follows:

 

·         Inability to swallow any solids; due to this, the patient was on a liquid diet

·         Reflux after eating food

 

Only first dose of chemotherapy had been given when the case was reported to us. He discontinued Chemotherapy and opted for Homeopathic treatment instead.

 

In spite of knowing about the gravity of his disease, there was no discouragement or fear in him; in fact, he was very much balanced and not much worried about his condition.

 

He had been in the railway police and said, “I have never done anything dishonest in my life- that is why I have so much of peace of Mind. I have a very relaxed life and want to live peacefully with my grandchildren.”

 

Due to his extremely sensitive nature, he would not be able to bear to see others suffering and would feel very bad. Sympathy for others and intolerance to injustice were other prominent features of his personality.

 

Weeping tendency was a marked symptom seen in this case, especially when he would be at a funeral or while watching a sad movie. Fear was conspicuous by its absence and his following statement confirmed this: ‘Death is going to come, nobody can stop it.’

 

Being the eldest child in the family, responsibilities had been put on his shoulders at a tender age and this had led him to quit studies (which he was good at) and take up a job. His ambition to pursue a good career was left unfulfilled and there was a silent, lasting grief about the same.

 

On the physical front, following features were noted:

 

·         Normal appetite; mixed (vegetarian + non-vegetarian) diet

·         Marked desire for sweets

·         Also desired salty things, milk, cereals

·         Desire for food to be very hot

·         Poor thirst

 

On examination findings:

 

Wt: 70 kg

Blood pressure: 140/ 80 mm of Hg

R.S: NAD

C.V.S: NAD

Warts on the face+

 

The following Rubrics were selected for Repertorisation:

 

·         Responsibility: Strong

·         Injustice, cannot support

·         Sympathetic, compassionate

·         Weeping, tendency

·         Grief: Silent

·         Fearlessness

·         Desires Sweets

·         Desires Hot food

·         Thirstlessness

·         Swallowing: Difficult: Solids: Agg

·         Face: Warts

 

Based on the above totality, the patient was prescribed the indicated remedy for his complaints on 22/09/2001.

 

On 6/10/2001, he reported that difficulty in swallowing was better than before. Sleep had improved in quality though the sleeping hours were lesser than before. There was congestion of throat and salivation ++ on examination. The same dosage was continued.

 

Another 2 weeks later, on 22/10/2001, the patient mentioned that he could now eat Khichadi (a form of rice preparation, which is very soft). The next higher potency of the medication was prescribed.

 

7/11/2001:

In the patient’s words: “I am feeling 50% better. I can have solid food now and face some difficulty only when swallowing Roti (pancake type bread).”

 

13/12/2001: Patient started feeling much better in general and started taking his regular meals.

 

The medication was continued later based on the feedbacks given by him over telephone. He continued to do well.

 

On 21/6/2002, his Endoscopy was repeated at the same Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai and the report was normal this time. The patient could now eat and drink anything without any difficulty. His treatment was discontinued after some time and he was asked to report to us in case any complaints occurred anytime in future.

 

Summary of Reports:
