Need help with 30 years of serious digestive problems
I am a male a little over 50 years old. Here is my questionnaire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.1. Describe your main suffering?
Constipation with bowel pain and trapped gas. My stool is not hard generally, occassionally dry. I go through periods of time where my bowels just have no urge. I rarely have diahrea. My pain occurs most of the time when I have trapped gas. The pain is generally right sided. I do regularly have bloating along the upper abdomen that causes some discomfort. There are times I feel like I have a band across my stomach squeezing very hard.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
I have some pain in left hip. I suffer from dry flakey skin with the scalp the worst. It is very thick most of the time. I get severe headaches at times when my bowels have the feeling of a band being tightened on my bowels. My urine is cloudy. I have a white coating on my tongue most of the time. Feel chilly much of time, much worse in cold weather. takes forever to warm. I have a weak memory. I have TMJ symptoms and some hearing loss in left ear that may be due to TMJ.

About 30 years ago for 1st symptoms. They have progressive;y worsened. I had a spinal injury 40 years ago that required manys medications including antibiotics. Had reflux to start, then ulcer and over time worse constipation.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka 'Joepathy' will help you within the hour after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.
