Hello,
The disease you have being diagnosed is
IBD - which is irritation to bowel and the source of irritation is unknown. I am guessing you are meat eater and you eat wheat rotis. My advice is:
>> 1) I would request you to do a cleansing of you bowel using
enema with warm water ever other day for a week to cleanse inner irritants (for help who to perform warm water (rectal) enema research on line its a simple process. Repeat the enema every 2-3 months for week. If unable to do enema please follow remaining steps skipping step (1)
>> 2) Mean while I will suggest you to stop consuming rotis made from wheat - you may have bajari / maize / ragi any other non-wheat roti.. The wheat contains
Gluten that is an irritant any may be a major source of your problem. Try to avoid wheat products (pasta, pizza, biscuits, etc) while trying the enema.
>> 3) Moreover, please do not consume any animal product like eggs, meat, milk (except buttermilk since buttermilk has good bacteria to reform the inner lying of the gut -- for further information search for Probiotics). Rest animal product has multiple genetics similarity creating cross reactions.
>> 4) Eat only the fruits and vegetables which were know not to cause issues. If it works please continue doing it. The only way forward for you to calm is to find the balance and harmony with your digestive system. Most medicine with only help resolve the issue for limited time only. If you like ispagol husk it is okay to take it way you like.
While doing the self experiment, I would suggest to stop taking any other medicine. Only Steps 1 through 4. If it works well for one week then stop the enema and do it every 2- 3 months to remove toxins. but step 2,3,4 will be there permanently as lifestyle modification of INTESTINAL harmony.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
