Chronic constipation 11634...India
An 8-year-old girl was suffering from constipation for the past seven years. She had bowel movements once in 2 to 3 days and that too, only after taking a prescribed laxative. The issue started at the age of one when she was given antibiotics for a fever. She started having bowel movement once a week, so had to take a laxative to pass stools. The problem would aggravate each time she took antibiotics. On her visit to India, she was brought on 16 Sep 2021 to the practitioner by her grandparents who were also concerned about the child’s weight as obesity was predominant in the family. She was given:
CC4.4 Constipation + CC6.2 Hypothyroid + CC15.4 Eating disorders…6TD
From day one, she started having bowel movement daily, so stopped taking the laxative after three days. On 30 Sep, the girl’s grandfather reported that she has passed stool every day. The girl continued to take the remedy in water on her own until she went back to the USA on 18 Dec. A year later in Nov 2022, the patient’s grandfather confirmed that she continues to have smooth bowel movements, and no laxative! She had grown taller too with no weight issues!
