Advice needed for multiple intestinal issues

Posted By Malli (Chennai, Tamilnadu, India) on 11/18/2011

Hi Ted,

I happened to see your site while looking for some solution for my son's problem. I am very much impressed about your site and I thought that you can give him some instructions to get over from his problems. He is 20 year old now and for the last three years he is suffering from abdominal pain, initially it is diffused, accompanied by belching, burning sensation, frequent respiratory infections, early morning sneezing, cold lower extremities, tremors in hands, headaches, poor quality sleep started when he finished his school final board examinations. Initially told as reflux problems and anxiety. Treated with regular antacids, H2 blockers, antihistaminic, anti helminthitic and antispasmodics. He is also constipated and not very much responding to laxatives.

H. Pylori kit is given without endoscopy for one month. Then we treat him second dose of H. P kit with nalaxadrone 3 mg for 3 months after doing a first time endoscopy which showed medium sized ulcer in the duodenum and H. Pylori positive in the biopsy. Now more than pain it is itching internally ( he is showing a place nearer to umbilicus) and constipation still existing but not to that degree often followed by frequent bowel movements for next few days. Now he is not taking milk, chili, tomato, spices, brinjal (egg plant), lemon, raw coconut and non vegetarian items and egg according to instructions by homeopath and other doctors. He is irritable since he couldn't find any improvement in his itching problem.

Now allopath are giving a different diagnosis as Irritable Bowel Disease. We have done repeated stool tests, blood test, allergy test, colonoscopy , capsule endoscopy, ultra sonogram, CT scan, during second upper GI endoscopy took biopsy from d2 and ruled out coeliac. The positive findings so far are low Hb around 11g% , ulcer in the first scopy, biopsy from second scopy shows chronic inflammation or Gut mucosa. They have given d/d as chronic viral infection.

He's feeling very low. We like to take some treatment which should focus on the inflammation of the gut mucosa. It is emergency. Please send some suggestions as soon as possible. Malli

Although your son is not suffering from any mental illness you should check out this diet called GAPS.. It is amazing. Although at first sounds strange... But it is natural. And you are not bothering the stomach with any more poison. http://www.gapsdiet.com/Home_Page.html

My first impression would be he would benefit from coconut oil, there is a section on this site and you can do a lot of reading online... It must be cold pressed unrefined... It has many many healing properties.... Also I would think to take him to a basic diet and avoid sugar, wheat and dairy... And red meat... Try juicing to give him the live enzymes and fresh vitamins and minerals... Or make him smoothies in a blender... I posted on under green smoothies that is an easy one and tastes good if you need it or more infor you can email me at dillonandgail(at)yahoo.com... Good luck!

Hello Malli, For Immediate healing of intestinal mucosa take wheat grass juice daily in the morning in empty stomach and don't eat anything for next half hour so that the wheat grass juice coat the stomach and intestines. This will also increase the Hemaglobin I 1 week. He should at least take it for 6 months, since it is rich in magnesium it will also relieve the constipation.

IBS can be caused by any or collections of diseases parasitic infection, allergic reaction, vitamin deficiency, mineral deficiency.

Have Ted's alkalizing formula atleast once in a day preferably after a meal as already inflammed Intestine will have severe pain even for mild acid secretion. Ted's alkalizing formula will help in preventing intestinal inflammation and will also inhibit parasitic Growth.

Regular antacids, H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors cause a big havoc to the intestines and stomach.

If you can find Milk Kefir in Chennai, then give milk kefir which has trillions of probiotic bacteria and Yeast that will assist in the healing and rejuvenation of intestines.

Most of the allergic reactions are due to modern genetically modified food crops and vegetables.

If you are using Sunflower Oil stop it and use Mustard Oil for cooking or Olive Oil or Coconut Oil as they are easy to digest. Mustard Oil is very rich Omega 3 which can heal intestine. Traditionally Sunflower Oil is not a cooking oil. Moreover commercial Sunflower Oil obtained from Genetically Modified Sunflower Seeds. I doubt Sunflower Oil is one of the biggest culprit for intestinal inflammation.

If your son does not have Lactose Intolerance then give Un Homogenized Milk not the Homegenized milk from Aaavin, or Arokya. This is very important. Give him home made curd, home made butter milk for probiotic replenishment if you don't get milk kefir.

You can stop Allopathic Medicines which is of no use when treating IBS as ibs is not a life threatening disease.

There are variety of foods that heal the intestines one among them is Carrot Juice, which you can give your son at any time.

hope this helps, thanks
