Constipation • Discourage laxative abuse • Fiber and fruit and vegetables • Antihomotoxic medications • Graphites-Homaccord • Nux vomica-Homaccord • Due to the longer contact time with the mucosa, more toxins can be absorbed • Hepar compositum (contains colon suis) © IAH 2007 58 Constipation is not a disease as such, but has a high level of discomfort for the patients suffering from this condition. It can be temporary in patients who for instance travel, and change their diet, or can be chronic in some patients. Laxative abuse should be discouraged, as it tends to cause a rebound constipation. The diet should be adjusted accordingly to contain fresh fruit and vegetables and natural fibre. The antihomotoxic medications, such as Graphites-Homaccord and Nux vomica can be very helpful. Nux vomica-Homaccord is often used in patients with severe persistent constipation and is also useful in children suffering from constipation. It is normally given for a couple of weeks. In cases with long standing or stubborn constipation, a tissue support in the form of Hepar compositum is added. This also contains and extract of colon tissue, and can thus support the large bowel. 58
Diarrhea • Increase secretion of chloride ions into the lumen through the tight junction • Water follows, with loose stools • Protective mechanism • If too long or mixed with blood and mucous, it should be investigated • Most common cause are viruses, enteroviruses • (Coxsackie) or also Rota viruses (change of season) © IAH 2007 59 Diarrhea is seen in homotoxicology as part of the excretion phase, and therefore as a purposeful defense against toxins, which could be foul food, bacterial or viral infections etc. The infective diarrhea called gastroenteritis, is one of the most common diseases and still a major cause of mortality in poorer countries. However, when it is persistent, or mixed with mucous and blood it can be part of a more severe disease picture, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease. 59
