4 days of diarrhea
Hello,I have now had 4 full days of dairrhea and am in need of help. First day (monday) it woke me from bed and I havent stopped since. I was very achy and weak frst two day like it was the flu. Had the chills really bad as well. Vomitted once end of second day. No fever at all. No perspiration.
Third and forth day start out well but by mid afternoon I start again. I seem to make it through sleep with only getting up a couple of times. Afternoon and evenings Im till going every 10 to 30 minutes. Very painful stomach cramps which are relieved by diarrhea temporariy. Thirst was diminihed first two days but since has returned to normal. Ate nothing first two day but appetite returned on third day.
Ive lost 10 lbs and this is troublesome to me. Ay uggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

I couldnt procure 6c so I took four doses of 30c. Problem was helped and the 5th day I only had a couple of bouts. On day 6 I tried to eat normally but diarrhea resumed quite quickly. Ive never had problems with food before. Physically I do feel well other than being weak from the weight loss and not eating very much.
Please advise
Thanks.

After stating that I feel well physically I realize thats not entire correct. I am very short on breath and quite exhausted. Day 7 of diarrhea has started. My stomach is churning pretty much all the time.

'Very painful stomach cramps which are relieved by diarrhea temporariy.'
Try Nux.vomica whatever potency you have on hand. You can take six doses in all spaced a few hours apart.
Taper off if you find relief.
Also take Mag.phos 6X 4 tablets thrice a day.
Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.

Only had Nux Vomica in 200c. Took as prescribed. It did not help. Just got Mag Phos this afternoon and just took my first dose. Ive been so weak from not eating that I ate a big lunch. Helped with the weakness and tiredness but the diarrhea remains. Very discouraging and Im fearing something more serious. Im a bit of a hypocondriac.
Please advise.
Thanks so much.

Describe the character of the stool in as much detail as possible.
The quantity,frequency, whether watery, gushing, spurting, along with flatus, color, smell, undigested etc.
The more the details the better.
What could have triggered it? Think what could be the cause.
It is more than a week now and my advice will be to consult a doctor ASAP.
Though we try to help there are many limitations in a forum set up.

Stool
Quantity - a great amount every time. A lot more than I think I should have in my bowels.
Medium brown colour, clouds the bowl. Smaller brown particles in it as well. The first four days it was the consistency of water and gushed out of me. Spurting as well. Not much gas at all, and normally Im a gassy person. Smells absolutely horrible.
Today I actually feel the best I have since this began. That big lunch was nice to help get some energy back. Im not laying around the house like I was the first few days. Im up and working as per normal, just a little winded and weak. Just had a decent sized dinner as my hunger was strong. Stomach started aching after eating though and went to bathroom again. The consistency is a little different this time. Brown matter is larger and didn't cloud the entire bowl.
I went to a very good Naturopath on Thursday and he muscle tested me and said it was simply a virus and not to worry. I tend to agree because of how achy and tired I was the first two days of this. However If Im looking for something different in my life that may be causing this...
Mid September we purchased a new house and I have spent the last 2 1/2 months working not stop fixing old house and being stresed out about buying and trying to sell old house. I dont deal very well with stress and this has been although a happy stress, its been a very powerful stress non the less. Historically when I work myself too hard I usually end up getting sick with a cold type illness. Ive been running around multitasking with very little sleep for too long now, with no sign of life slowing down before the end of December. I am in good spirits with this whole move and ive been able to relax a little since moving in here three weeks ago, and especially through this sickness (maybe a good thing).
Visiting a western doctor is out of the question at this point, based on my instinct that this can be dealt with at home.
I hope this info helps Murthy.
Thanks again.

You are on the road of recovery.
To hasten it up take podophyllum 200c or any other available potency.
Upto six doses.
Eat normally, drink more fluids and continue Mag.phos.

Murthy, I took 6 doses of Pod 30c yesterday. Movements were non diarrhea yesteray until after dinner/supper. Had diarrhea twice last night. This morning everything was perfect again. Had a salad and chicken for lunch and within an hour diarrhea returned. Consistency of water and brown clouded the bowl as before. Still taking Mag Phos. My stomach always feel like a dull pain. Other than that my energy and appetite has returned, so I feel quite normal other than the diarrhea and cramping remain. Please advise.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

If you feel generally comfortable and the frequency is around 4 to 5 times in a day..better wait it out.
If the same symptoms persist even after 24 hours from now take colocynth 30c three doses in all.
If the symptoms change report back.
Continue mag.phos 6X.

Hi Murthy,
It is nice to see a classical homeopath like you is changing remedies now. Anyway, your debates with homeopaths following other styles of homeopathy have provided lot of food for thought to everbody who is interested in learning.
Here the first remedy that you suggested, Nux Vomica 200c did the maximum work as ryelink have had a wholesome lunch after taking nux. Mag Phos or colocynth will work if the pain is better by applying pressure. It won't work for mild pain. i would suggest the following plan
day 1 to day 3
2 pellets of the following tissue salts thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours
kali mur 6x
natrum sulph 6x
One Dose of Nux Vomica 200c at bed-time
After 3 days, only tissue salts to be continued.
i know very well that my knowledge level do not allow me to teach anything to a teacher like you. That too to a person who quotes a Mahabharat Quote while signing his name. i have just shared my thought with you.
It is always a delight to read your posts.
Thanks, Regards and Best Wishes.

Apologies Ryelink. Somehow I missed this thread completely. I was looking for your response for the first 2 days though.
Luckily, looks like problems are resolved.

Ryelink said: Im fearing something more serious. Im a bit of a hypocondriac.
He is extremely weak and I presume he is chilly (Ryelink to confirm). From his narration of the house move and fixing, he also sounds restless/ anxious.
Ars Alb perhaps...
