Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have a very complicated, extremely needy patient, who I believe is suffering from ileocaecal valve syndrome. Her problems include alternating diarrhoea/ constipation, passing huge amounts of mucus (which she kindly photographs for me), extreme anxiety and a degree of mental instablility - she has been sectioned twice - once as a result of extreme anxiety arising from a bowel impaction - she is terrified of this happening again. She has also been diagnosed with slow gastric emptying, various parasites and pancreatin deficiency. She over-medicates enormously - enzymes, enemas, colonics, magnesium, castor oil, cholagogues - anything to empty her bowel. She has been eating a mostly raw food diet with a juice for breakfast. She is also concurrently seeing a kinesiologist and chiropractor. I have put her on a simple diet of simple, bland cooked food, and some herbs: gentian before foood, plus a main mix of mentha pip, Matricaria, Foeniculum, Tarax radix, Humulus and Valeriana. I have firmly requested that she stop self-medicating. She complains that she can taste food and herbs that she has taken days before, even a coffee enema she took 2 days ago(unprescribed) she says she can taste, even after 2 colonics. Does anyone know why and how this might happen? And any treatment ideas welcome Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
