Severe Constipation 03526...USA
The patient was a 15-year-old girl who suffered from severe constipation for the past 5 years for unknown reasons. When she visited her doctor for severe stomach pain, she did not realise that her pain was due to constipation. The doctor suspected Helicobacter pylori infection and treated her with antibiotics. In her subsequent visit, the doctor examined her abdomen and found a lot of compacted stool. Several attempts with laxatives including milk of magnesia would only relieve her symptoms temporarily. In addition to abdominal pain and bloating, at times there was pain in the head behind the ears. Once the doctor had to insert a tube through her nose into the digestive track to clear her of the compacted stool. The doctor commented to the parents that they cannot expect a cure from allopathic medicine and should look into some alternative treatment.
The father of the girl came to the practitioner on recommendation from another Sai devotee. At the time of the visit, she had pain in the stomach and bloating. During the first visit the practitioner observed that the patient was otherwise a very healthy and bright girl who followed a good diet and lifestyle. She occasionally suffered from sinusitis and in the past she had issues with adenoids that were surgically removed. She came from a deeply spiritual family, had no mental worries and was known to be a happy teenager.
On 17 January 2016, the practitioner prescribed the following remedy:
CC4.4 Constipation + CC12.2 Child tonic…TDS initially for a duration of two weeks.
After a week the patient’s father reported that within two days of starting the treatment his daughter became perfectly normal. Her stomach pain and all the discomfort had disappeared. Remedy was continued at TDS for another week followed by BD for a month and then OD for another month. This was further reduced to maintenance dosage OW for six months. As per follow-up at the end of May 2016, there was no return of the condition and she was continuing the maintenance dosage.
