Brief Answer:
Reassure Yourself

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in

It is sad you are suffering from from multitude of problems.

My first suggestion is manage your stress levels and go for yoga or meditation this will help treating IBS. Feeling stressed would not solve your problem and aggravates the problem and that is the nature of IBS. Let me assure you that the treatment is according to standards.

No medicine is full proof for management for IBS but some medicines do work in controlling symptoms. Take a good probiotic drugs twice a day for a minimum of three weeks. Your doctor can suggest the local brand of probiotic for you. I suggest to continue Modus 10.

And in place of Zosert I suggest you should talk to your doctor about changing it to Fluoxitine 20 mg.

Hope this helps

Hi Doctor,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Thing is I am not feeling stressed right now and also for last 1 year it is reduced. But may be my subconscious mind is streessed or depressed which is also told by consulting doctor. I am not feeling that unfortunately. Also I am undergoing medication ,yoga.

Still not recovering. Can you pls tell me one thing is modus 10 enhancing IBS problem#? Already 7-8 cycles I have taken Modus 10. Thinking to withdraw it to check the normal streamline. Is that fine#?

FYI I am taking Alzolam 0.5 one tab at night for last 1 and half year. To withdraw the psychiatric drug(Olimelt 2.5 and Nexito forte) I have replaced that with Alzolam 0.5 as psychiatric drug started to produce lot of toxic effects. So is Alzolam not working fine for me#?

Last year as I told you taken so many drugs for my gynaec problem . As a consequence upper abdomen problem started(Is it so#?). Nothing is digested. Metabolism disorder increased.

Another question it would be fine if you suggest what I should not eat. A diet chart will be helpfull.

I will tell my consulting doctor about Fluoxitine.

Regards,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Alzolam is OK

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in again

Yes stress at subconcious level is more hazardous, it is matter if time that you should be OK

Modus 10 can cause some GI symptoms please consult you gynae before withdrawing it

Alzolam had been found to be effective in IBS so should not be an issue

Yes lot of gynaec drugs do cause upper GI symptoms and that could have led to the issue

A diet chart is out of scope of an online forum but Please find below the basic guideline :

1] Avoid spicy, fermented meals
2] Do not have heavy meals
3] Avoid smoking and alcohol
4] Wear loose clothes
5] Do not stoop
6] Do not lift heavy weights
7] Raise the head end of your bed
8] If Obese lose weight
9] If under stress - Manage stress levels by meditation and exercise

Hope this helps
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
