Constipation 03590...USA
A 13-year-old boy with constipation for five years since May 2015 consistently passed hard stools almost daily but sometimes every 2 to 3 days. In Sept 2019, when he complained of stomach-ache and low appetite and got tired easily, a doctor was consulted. An X-ray revealed colon backup and he was prescribed a laxative (Miralax) which did not help much; so two weeks later, it was stopped.
On 22 May 2020, the concerned mother took him to the practitioner who gave him:
CC4.1 Digestion tonic + CC4.4 Constipation + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.2 Child tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic…TDS
In addition, the boy was advised to gradually increase his daily water intake to 8 to 10 glasses, from 6 glasses earlier and include fibre-rich foods in his diet.
Within 3 to 4 days, the stomach pain vanished and in another ten days, by 4 June, the stools had become normal with daily bowel movements albeit at varying times. Progress continued and on 24 June, the mother reported substantial improvement in his appetite and energy level. By 27 Aug, there was 100% improvement as the bowel movement was now regular. The dosage was reduced to BD and tapered down to OW over the next two months and stopped after a month on 30 Nov 2020. As of Jan 2024, the boy remains free of constipation and enjoys good health.
