Hi. I have a question for you, how long have you been diagnosed with eitehr condition? If u are a newly diagnosed Celiac, u may find secondary problems tend to get better as your body heals on the Gluten Free diet.

That beign said, I do not have spastic colon, just CD.

I would say, continue the GF diet, be very strict, perhaps maybe limiting dairy or other triggers right now.
Try the cookbook, Cooking WIthouth by Carol Fenster. It focuses on multiple allergies/intolerances. (remember CD is NOT an allergy but an autoimmune disease.)
Try these sites for more help:
www.csaceliacs.org (look under Local Support to find a support group near u for help.)
www.celiac.com
www.celiac.org
www.celiaccentral.org

Yahoo has a Health Group called SillyYaks who are very helpful and u may find someon on there who has both conditions.

Good luck.

(FYI make SURE any meds and natural things u take are GF!!)

Hi bbjesh,
usually a very nervous or anxious person gets a spastic colon.
And it all starts in a nervous stomach… Maybe you don’t realize your nervousness. Worth investigating. What has been going on in your life the last 5 or 6 months? I also have a spastic colon… I have been a nervous wreck since my childhood. Look on the net for ways to relax your body… Relaxation breathing. I hope you feel better soon. I hope this helped.

RoseLepage answers:

If you think you might have this then see the doc. Otherwise consider increasing your fiber intake and using a fiber supplement daily or twice daily to help get your bowels under control.

RoseLepage answers:

I am very sorry for your trouble, and I am doubly sorry because it is so difficult to pin down and resolve. It can be a thousand things, or a combination of thousands, or it may be a consequence of something else entirely. First of all, eliminate what it isn’t:
1. Allergies. If you can, eliminate all processed foods. All. Do the vegan bit – eat all fruits and veggies and sticks and twigs and crunchy bits. Your system will go nuts but it won’t hurt you and will probably speed up the purging.

RoseLepage answers:

Celiac and spastic colon all work together and causes many different problems.I am a celiac sufferer my self.It is a disease that is virtually run by what we eat.Eliminate anything with gluten in it.(Very hard I know).The only way you can handle the problem is just prey that you have a good day the next day and try and stay calm .I wish you all the bst.I have been there and done many things to try and help with this condition.

You fart too then apologize saying that you ate beans for lunch. The blush

RoseLepage answers:

Spastic colons are caused because the person has become allergic to what they eat and drink, because they have either over done or just eaten junk for to long and their system is too weak. Im taking that since you are anemic as well that you are a canidate for what I speak of.

A good way to get rid of this and not have to take medication for the rest of your life is to go on a gluten free diet or celiac. You can look at the diet and symptoms at www.awisealternative.com on the left side of the page click links. You can also find a list of the foods you can eat and receipes that you can fix… So you dont think you will be starving.

Take a herbal iron like floradix because you will get constipated from the iron if your taking something like geritol. It takes 30 days of taking any iron to see a difference.

Basically what has happened to you is that you have become malnutritioned from having a spastic colon and that has caused you to be anemic. You have got to change your diet or the drs will medicate you with stuff that will eventually lead to depression and a host of other things.

If you would like any help just email me and I will walk you thru it if you need help.

You only have to eat a special diet for about 8 months to clean up your system. Then you can add foods a little of the foods you miss to your diet , this will let you know what made you sick. Or you can just stay healthy and not go back.

Not a plain x-ray, but a barium enema or small bowel follow through, or a colonoscopy, might determine your problem.

RoseLepage answers:

There are two popular Natural asthma treatments, one is from the Middle East and has been a primary treatment for asthma and allergies. A traditional extract blend taken with honey includes black cumin, chamomile, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, sage, spearmint, thyme and other herbs. Natural asthma treatments have herbs that contain antioxidants, and Black cumin seed, rosemary and thyme are known to inhibit the contractions of tracheal smooth muscle that is stimulated by histamine and acetylcholine. In Asia one natural asthma cure is a blend known as Saiboku-To is used clinically for asthma treatment and contains 10 herbs like ginger, Korean ginseng, magnolia, Baikal and licorice. In Japan , 40 asthma patients were treated with Saiboku-To for six to 24 months, and all were able to greatly reduce their steroidal asthma medications.20 Saiboku-To have also been shown to inhibit lipoxygenase.

When you’re looking for Natural asthma treatments on the Internet, make sure you’re not allergic to any of the natural ingredients themselves, which would defeat the purpose. Always take small doses and one at a time than recommended if you’ve never taken something before to make sure your body will not have an adverse affect from anything. Just because something is natural does not mean it can’t be dangerous to you

My son had horrid allergies. Our naturopath suggested raw, natural honey. It has to be natural because pasturization kills the good bacteria that works for allergies. It has to be local so your trees and flowers are represented.
It works wonders. He had a spoonful in his hot cereal in the mornings, and after 2 weeks had no more symptoms AT ALL.

RoseLepage answers:

In Homeopathy the treatment for most allergies starts with the remedy SULFUR and 30 is the best potency to start with after Sulfur we have to take it step by step according to the symptoms which develop with the use of SULFUR which is in it self quite sufficient to cure allergic reactions solely on its own. In your child’s case just once a day first thing in the morning for about three days will be enough. Report back with the child’s progress every day if you can while giving him the homeopathic remedy.
Continue with the use of HONEY which is nothing short of a miracle treatment for more or less all sorts of disease and disorders and has infinite curative powers to cure on its own. KALONJI(Blackseed) and its OIL are known to cure all sorts of allergies and I have found them extremely benficial in treating infants and children without any side effects or complications it not only cured them of their allergies it greatly improved their general health too.

An epidural. Theyre safe. EVEYTHING has a chance of being harmful…even tylenol. You just have to weigh the chances of something happening with the benifets. To me, the chances of something happening were very small and i was in a lot of pain, so i got one. I dont regret my decision and will have an epidural with my next.

Brody is a healthy baby, has never been sick, and never had one problem.

I have used alcis. It works very well on my sore Achilles tendon. I rub it on and the pain goes away. I have used it for a growing number of minor aches and pains with good results. My initial use was for a chronically sore neck. I got good relief and was able to do my physical therapy exercises more easily. You can buy a two ounce at Longs Drugstores. A four ounce tube as advertised on there web site is a lot and lasts my wife and I a couple of months. I have knee and ankle problems. My wife uses it for sore hands, sore knee and , believe it or not, an itchy back

Alternate between ibuprofen and say, co codamol or somethin…….. Heat helps too, use heat pad or even gently blow hairdryer on gentle heat against side of your head for a while…. I can empathise….. Have had chronic ear disease for 25 years now and sometimes the pain is horrendous, i normally take kapake and tramadol for the pain, but these aren’t available over the counter…… Very importantly keep your ear bone dry whilst showering. You prob need antibiotic if its infected…… I pity you, good luck.

RoseLepage answers:

There is several choices,
• Epidurals
• ‘Mobile’ epidurals
• Entonox (gas and air)
• Meptid
• Pethidine
• Spinals
• TENS

I would visit the site I have provided, it gives great information on each, I am going to try to do it with just the Entonox. Best of luck!!!

RoseLepage answers:

They might possibly give her a peripheral nerve block, or leave an epidural in after the surgery. Those things will only be left in for a few days max, though.

If she’s unable to take any of the big-gun analgesics, they might consider treating the gastric problem in order to allow for the pain relief meds. Like, proton pump inhibiters, anti-vomiting meds, whatever the problem is.

Just a few ideas there. You’ll have to discuss this with the surgeon to know for sure. I suggest you deal with it well in advance of the surgery so there are no surprises.

RoseLepage answers:

Because they are scared of the pain. I chose to give birth drug free and I am pleased that I did, yes it hurt like hell but I wanted to remember the experience and for my baby to not be affected by the drugs.

RoseLepage answers:

Try drinking cranberry juice for now and take some advil. You should make an appointment to see your doctor because a urine sample will need to be taken and tested to determine if it is UTI or a kidney infection. A kidney infection is more serious because if not treated, your kidneys can spill toxins in your bloodstream, resulting in serious illness.

Hope you feel better soon.

It’s hard to tell, but colon cancer is a slower growing cancer than many other types. If you suspect anything, go to a gastroenterologist and have a colonoscopy done. There are many diseases that are more likely for a 13 year old than cancer, and they have the same symptoms. The colonoscopy can pinpoint the problem, and you can know what needs to be treated.

I am taking 40 MG of Luvox and I love it! I’ve taken it since I was 8 and it has helped me alot. Also, you could have .5 MG of Xanex which can help before big events to calm you down. I take it when I’m feeling a panic attack coming on, or am really nervous about something. Hope this helps!

RoseLepage answers:

Though I have not used the Medicine, but being a Homeopathic Practitioner I can safely say that it should work, because I have never know Homeopathic Medicines too fail or not make an effect. And Boiron is a World Renowned Firm. I have found their remedies totally effective in all cases. In my experience single remedies work better, the ones which are prescribed according to the patients symptoms rather then combination remedies. You can post your symptoms here or consult a Homeopathic Physician for an appropriate prescription for best results.

Hope this helps.

RoseLepage answers:

I would suggest she uses it in 30 potency, we use the 200 potency to correct the baby’s position in case of a breach. In 30 it will help to make the delivery easy and even more so if she takes it along with MAGNESIA PHOS in 6X and KALIUM PHOS in 6X, Dissolve 6 tablets each of Mag Phos 6X and Kali Phos 6X with three drops of PULSATILLA 30 in a glass of warm water every day, and ask her to take a spoonful every hour. It is a tried, tested and well verified prescription to make birth easier and without any complications, give her a dose of ARNICA in 1M potency when she goes into labour and one dose after she gives birth.
Do not use Pulsatilla in higher potency then 30 and use it in 200 only in case of a breached baby to correct the baby’s position.

Take care and God bless.

RoseLepage answers:

12X means the active ingredient concentration is about one part per trillion.

To put “parts per trillion” into perspective, one part per trillion can be considered equal to:
One inch in 1.6 million miles
One second in 32,000 years
One cent in $10 billion
One square foot of the state of Indiana

You can not overdose on homeopathy – because there is nothing in it. You probably won’t consume one molecule of any active ingredient. You have only bought sugar and a little vitamin C.

This is why homeopathy is so widely criticized and ridiculed. It never beats placebo in rigorous clinical trials. Sorry, but you’ve been scammed.

RoseLepage answers:

I think that’s a nice question. I don’t really have a lot of knowledge in homeopathy but I really like it. My understanding, which you can verify somewhere, is that there are constitutional remedies which deal with these personality traits. It’s not exactly a personality trait though, to dislike stuffy rooms. Or to feel hot or cold. It seems like constitutional remedies deal with chronic symptoms while there are remedies for acute symptoms also. Does a good homeopath give both, alternately.? I myself don’t know but I am sharing my feelings about this with you because I also have been bewildered by homeopathic books over the years and have come to the conclusion that good self-diagnosis will take further deep study which, up till now I’ve not had time to do.
My other conclusion is that it is great if we can find a qualified practitioner but I hope someone who is one will clarify this matter for you here in answers. I live in an Asian country where there are so many homeopaths and they are so cheap, but I find very few who are qualified. So it can be necessary to know how to self diagnose, for so many reasons. Good luck with your studies.
