Suggest Treatment For IBS And Anxiety

Posted on Wed, 24 May 2017

Question: I have IBS and Anxiety. Since this past February And an episode with Ileus I have lost 14 pounds and continue to lose weight. CT's and lab work normal. I am now on Remeron and Pamelor for anxiety but I continue to have no appetite and no thirst. I have SEVERE Diarhhea and constant urination. Remeron should increase appetite but so far it has not. I have tried Acupuncture, Yoga, holistic medicine, and a faith healer. I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist. My personal PCP has given up trying to help me. I have an appointment with a GI doctor at the XXXXXXX Clinic. I am so desperate for help.

Dr XXXXXXX are you saying I have cancer. How is immune mediated mechanism treated?

Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Respected XXXX, hi I have never said you have cancer dear.

Detailed Answer:
Respected XXXX, hi
* I have not narrated in any of my briefing that you have cancer dear. It`s your
belief after reading that immune mediated mechanism is cancer I think.
it is not like that dear.
* Immune mediated mechanism is a broad spectrum of theory involving vivid
systemic parameters of one`s body to any noxious substance or even stress.
* Management aspects of your case is multimodality approach with life-style
changes bringing major results & drug molecules work only to support the
symptomatic control.
* Appetite part with diarrhoea is compromised due to weakness of the
intestines by decreased absorption of nutrients , so until intestines are not
working at its pace appetite is not going to improve.
* Pamelor has side effect in form of weight loose, unpleasant taste , nausea,
weakness .
* Urinary frequency needs to rule out prostate issues/ diabetes or other.
* So till you get yourself evaluated by GI doctor in form of Scopy or other
investigation to find the cause , I recommend following for you :
- avoid stress / anxiety .
- have regular sound sleep of 8 hours .
- avoid all oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs / beverages / cheese / junk foods .
- have more liquids preferably boiled water, coconut water, lemon juice, green
tea, coffee, butter milk etc.
- have small amount of food at regular intervals .
- chew your food very thoroughly.
- avoid sleeping for atleast 2 hours after meals .
- regular walk in fresh air, light exercises, YOGA help at long term basis.
- avoid smoking / alcohol / use of any abuse substances.
- natural remedies with Tulsi, Amla , Ginger, Honey helps a lot.
- Pre-pro biotics with organic vigan food helps.
- maintain weight chart
- maintain your BP , Blood sugar , Cholesterol , Hemoglobin levels.
- remember it is your inner will that will take out you from any worse condition
of life , medicinal compounds are just supportive to some extent , no molecule
is meant in this world to work on your soul which is in total control of your
own dear.
Hope this helps you.
