Please help my IBS!
HiFor years I have suffered from IBS, ranging from the mild everyday symptoms to bad attacks as I am experiencing now. I am hoping someone can suggest a good remedy as several seem to fit: arsenicum alb, argent nit, nux vom.
My details are as follows:
- IBS started after a bad episode of food poisoning.
- intolerant of dairy products
- crave coffee (though makes symptoms worse), sweets, alcohol (but am intolerant to alcohol too - even a few sips makes me dizzy)
- I vary between diahorrea and mild constipation, not bad. But definitely more towards diahorrea.
- Sudden urge to pass a stool in the mornings straight after breakfast. Can't wait to go.
- Waiting too long between meals makes me worse.
- Upper gastric distress - heartburn, nausea, indigestion even after small amounts of food. Often feel nauseous.
- Trouble sleeping: normally I have difficulty getting off to sleep but at the moment I am waking around 1-3am.
- My moods are all over the place - tearful one moment, terribly angry the next. Probably from too much stress and working too hard.
- I am a perfectionist by nature, but not fastidiously tidy (as in arsenicum types).
- I suffer from anxiety (particularly in social situations), claustrophobia and have had depression in the past.
- Terrible wind in my abdomen, with rumblings and some flatulence.
- I get migraines occasionally - better for lying still, wrapped up warm but with a cold compress on my head.
- I am a very 'cold' person generally - I am worse in cold and damp weather.
- I don't like the dark.
- I suffer from circulatory problems - cold hands and feet that go numb in the winter.
- Very dry skin and eyes.
Sorry this is long - I wanted to be as thorough as poss! I hope someone has an idea about what I should try and what strength. In the past, my homeopath put me on arsenicum which helped a lot but my periods became bad on it (painful, heavy, profuse).
Thank you!

Dear Faisal
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will try to get hold of Sulphur in this dosage - the only amount I can get locally is 30C. Will order online and let you know how it goes.
Many thanks

Never take two homeopathic medicines together.
People suggest them when they are too lazy to look for a single medicine.
Most of the times, these alternations don't help. On the other hand they may cause more trouble to the patient.

Two homeopathic medicines taken together/alternated will interfere with each other.
You throw a stone in the water in a small pond and observe the ripples. THey reach the shore and die down.
Now, you throw another stone, after the first wave subsides and the same phenomenon is observed.
However watch he pattern by dropping another stone, before the first pattern dies out. What do you observe? Chaotic patterns!!.
The first wave patern gets disturbed by the second wave ,and something unpredictable results.
Similar is the case with homeopathic potencies. You are creating a ripple with the first homeopathic medicine , and if you intervene too soon with another medicine, there is nothing but chaos.
