Thank you doctor for your feedback.Yes she has the reports for both polypos and stools which are attached for your reference.
He motion cycle is routine and normal.She everyday morning does it after her 30 min walk.Her food habits are very frugal and choosy.She limits her diet to only idli ,rice ,kokkum rasam and vegetables(carrot,beans,cochinea,lauki etc) and generous use of lite curds.And also she has some crackers and tea (2 times) in between.Inspite of this she has a very sensitive stomach.She cannot eat anything out of the normal and her stomach issues aggravate.
Morning she takes cintodac (after having 4 glasses of water,tea and crackers )after which she feels stomach bloating,irritation in stomach and rumblings.She has severe anxiety and depression issues and these stomach symptoms increase with the anxiety issues.Also at these times her eyes get clouded and she feels a heavy head not pain.She also had bitter taste through out the day in her mouth since last 1 month or so.
She weighs 58 kgs and does her customary walking 30 mins every day two times.She also consumes more than 3 litres of water everyday.Also she boils jeera in water and drinks the water 2 times everyday.
Request you to kindly give a suitable remedy as I cannot see her suffering for so long.
