The ABC Homeopathy Forum
To Tabish or Dr. Nawaz, please help with second opinion
Please kindly check my list below, I very much appreciate your opinion.1. Matt_100
2. 50
3. Male
4. Single
5. 200 pounds
6. 63
7. USA
8. Hot/dry in summer, medium cold in winter (California)
9. Indigestion, tremendous amount of gas which has to be released by induced belching, otherwise after awhile my stomach starts to ache at the pit, belching relieves the ache. After eating lunch (any meal) I have to belch (again I have to induce it) regularly until I go to bed at night. There is about 90% belching and 10% flatulence. I usually skip dinner to have less gases during night to be able to sleep. Also low appetite and usually no appetite at dinner time. Together with the gases there is constipation, stool is either in the form of hard little balls or of playdo consistency.
Anxiety mixed with mild depression, worries, insomnia, I fall asleep pretty good but wake up several times at night, sometimes at 3AM, very often (almost always) at 5 AM and cannot sleep anymore after 5 AM (but would like to). I am feeling tense often. Huge sensitivity to noise and smell. Occasional itching of back and extremities, if I scratch skin it makes scratching marks even if lightly scratched. Occasionally urinary problems, then I have to go to the bathroom a lot, unpleasantness when passing urine. Bashful bladder. Dry, flaky skin. Occasional migraines. Occasional heart palpitations, often at night.
10. I had two/three short episodes of gases the last two/three years, now very often since November last year. Anxiety/depression for over 30 years (usually manageable), has worsened since last October. Constipation occasionally, now always in combination with the gases.
11. Non-Diabetic
12. No cravings at all.
13. I was very thirsty as a kid and young adult, not anymore for several years.
14. Sometimes has white coating, when I drink red wine the tongue gets a dark blue/back color which remains on the tongue for several days. No particular taste.
15. 145/85, take no medicine.
16. Pretty much explained in 9.
17. Stressed, insecure,
18
19. Feels like I cannot handle my responsibilties
20. Sometimes I just want to run away from all of this.
21. I had an allergic reaction to something I ate in October last year, had a fever and hives, about a week or two after that I got badly depressed and had an anxiety attack. I started acupuncture treatment and after the second treatment I developed the gases (before I had these gases only for a short time at night maybe three, four times) which are present off and on until today.
22. Threatening
23. Confusion
24.
25. In early January I went to a Homeopath who prescribed Lycopdium 200C. At that time my gases, which I had for four weeks before then, were gone but my anxiety/depression was still there. After taking the dry 200C twice in one week the gases came back immediately and we suspected aggravation. I stopped taking the Lyco and the gases went to tolerable levels. We then started with a liquid LM1 which again created more gases. After stopping the LM1 the gases normalized. We also tried a 6C liquid to be sniffed to get it through the olfactory nerve, that created the gases after 12 days too. That was on 5/22/2012. Stopped sniffing the remedy on May 22, however so far this time the gases remained. I have to add that the Lyco helped with the anxiety, thats why we kept trying to find a non-aggravating dose.
Had an antibiotic treatment in March (two weeks) for H. pylori (prescribed by my physician).
Had in 1994 Nat. Mur. 1M for my depression which worked at that time. But symptoms, they changed a little, came back later. Tried one 30C dose of Argentum Nitr. for the gases, no result. Same with carbo veg.
No other medication.
26. Mother has Diabetes and Lupus, Father is pretty healthy, had bypass surgery when he was in his late 60s.
27. Bachelor Degree
28. Accountant
29. Like spicy food, baguette bread and olive oil, steak, hamburgers, dont like too salty foods, dont like real sweet foods.
30. I tried out several foods re. the gases, but they are bad with any food.
31. I am impatient, eat quickly, like things resolved, get irritated quickly and have occasional explosive outbursts when irritated. Feel uncomfortable in big groups, can get claustrophobic (only in extreme situations, like in a cave or stuck with plenty people in an elevator). Blush quickly. Rarely speak publicly, but pretty nervous when I have to do it.
32. Gases worse in the evening and at night, best in the morning (before breakfast) but still there. Anxiety best in the mornings, worse between 2 and 6 PM.
33.
34. Pit of my stomach
35. No particular side, region of the abdomen.
36.

Hi Matt,
glad you posted. Please use edit
button and change your headline
to Tabish or Nawaz a second opinion.
Reason is one homeopath on here has
taken ill, and Nawaz is traveling
with unstable internet. Tabish 007 is
homeopath for 10 years and just had
a post on nail biting - thread today
describing how some stomach problems
have to be cleared out with low dose
of nux vom 6c bc too many doses of
other remedies have been taken.
then after that deal with the anxiety.
Read that thread.
Good luck,
Simone 717

Matt,
you can get this off abc remedies store-
click usa and then use boiron.
it is listed as Asa Foetida, I have not seen
that remedy in the
whole Foods or other health stores-
takes about 3 days or so to get to you.
Also you are lucky to have Tabish prescribe, he is excellent and knows how
to work with sensitive systems-on this
forum we are missing one homeopath
who is ill, and another one who is
overseas with not reliable internet.
Tabish is picking up some things on
here which is very nice of him to do
as he has his own practice and is
busy. Take advantage of this reply.

Hi Tabish,
thank you for your recommendation, today I am on my way to Europe, so it will take a little longer before I can report back. I'll try to get the remedy in the States, otherwise I have to get in Europe. Also I won't have daily access to the internet while I am there but will report as soon as I started taking it (after 3 days).
Thank you again,
Matt

Simone,
Alas I can't order the remedy since I am leaving today for three weeks. Anyway, will check the local health food store and if they don't have it I might get it in Europe.
In that regard it's bad timing with my trip but I can't change that.
Thank you again.

Tabish,
I just checked a few websites in Europe for Asa Foetida and only found that in 6D, or 30C, or D12, D4, D30 - they don't have 6C.
What would be the best alternative?

I got the Asa Foetida but the gases subsided before I received the remedy and therefore I didn't take it since there was no reason to take it anymore.
Now, since the gases are gone (June 1) the anxiety issue is coming back and it fits the pattern I've described before here and on my other thread 'Lycopodium Aggravation'.
When I take Lyco the anxiety vanishes but after awhile the extreme gases appear. Then I stop taking the Lyco and after awhile the gases disappear but then instead the anxiety is coming back. Looks like each symptom is cancelling each other out instead that both go better together.
The last dose of Lyco I used was 6C diluted in spring water and then I sniffed one time per day the solution - still the same as described above.
Now that may sound way out of the ordinary but exactly this is happening.
Please Tabish, do you have any idea what to do in my situation?
Please let me know,
I am currently in Europe, checking back later.

Hi tabish,
thank you for your reply. Things have changed since my last post, I was without the gases for 5 full days but then they came back on Thursday afternoon. If they are still here on Friday I'll try the recommended Asa Foetida for the 7 days starting on Saturday.
There is no anxiety since the gases came back but I'll answer your question anyway to give you more info:
The anxiety is mainly at the pit of my stomach, it's worse between 2 and 6 PM (not in the morning). My thoughts are worries about that my parents die and I am going to be alone. Thoughts in general about loss and fear of change, burden of responsibilities. My whole outlook is then depressed, things which were fine before become a threat and life seems a burden. There is occasional melancholy, thinking back to the past and having regrets about relationships (romantic and otherwise).
Re. the gases: If they are full blown they are there all the time, worse from 3 PM to bedtime (around 11 PM). I don't notice them until I get an ache at the pit of my stomach, a sign lots of gases have accumulated and I have to induce belching and then the ache goes away. During the times with low gas no ache occurs and I belch only directly after a meal (by itself) what most people do. Sometimes some liquid is coming up the throat (after a rich meal), but it doesn't taste sour or any other particular taste. No hearburn whatsoever.
These gases give me stress too, but it's not the same anxiety I have when the gases are gone.
I guess that's it,
Matt

Hi Matt,
your worries are more related to Kali Carb than lycopodium.
please try Asafoedita, if that gives relief then its good, otherwise give a try to kali carb the way you tried lyco.
