Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea, Indigestion And Constipation
Question: Hi Doctor,
This is a follow up question regarding my dad's IBS problem. Firstly, I thank you for suggesting good medications for his problem.
He followed your advice and took Sporlac, Rablet L as per your suggestion and he has very good improvement and has no complain of burning sensation in the stomach nor severe gastric problems. He is also very much relieved from anxiety.
However he is having problem with motion in the early mornings. He has been using B-Lax ayurvedic powder a night before (from past 2 years) for normal motion. If he stops taking this power, he is facing constipation problems. But, ffom past few weeks he is having a problem of loose motion when taking this powder (this was not the problem before) Also, he is not eating non vegetarian food and complains of indigestion if he eats. His diet now consist of only carbs as he eats rice, dal and curd. What could be other best alternative foods for him to get maximum vitamins and minerals?
Apart from this, he is feeling very weak, dullness and irritated in the mornings after waking up. As per neurologist's suggestion he is currently using Neurobion forte for nerve weakness from past 10 days. But I do not want him to use any tablets for weakness as he has been taking too many tablets from years. Please suggest whether acupuncture will be helpful for body pains and weakness or any other alternative way?
Can you please suggest further treatment or medications for complete relief?
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Nice to hear he is better now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Loose stools and contipation both are feature of IBS.
I would like to add Lactulose syrup 10 ml once daily at night.Its a very safe laxative and can be used even for years.
For fatigue and weekness ask him to take Ashwagandha capsule once daily before going to bed.
Is his sleep normal?
And how are his anxiety levels now?
Please revert back.
