Chronic DiarrheaPatients who can not find lasting relief or suffer from years worth of agony sometimes demonstrate a psychosomatic imperative driving their unbearable symptoms. This mindbody link is almost never the topic of conversation between doctors and patients. Far more common is the dependence on drugs to soothe the condition, regardless of the potentially dire effects of the patient’s health… Chronic Diarrhea Nightmare
Diarrhea is a condition which can take the joy out of life. It can strike at the least opportune times and can spell disaster in social settings or when a bathroom is unavailable. Add to this the common incidence of stomach cramping, sweating and gas pains and you have a real mess on your hands…People who must endure a chronically sensitive digestive tract are often scared to eat anything unfamiliar or even to dine in public. These poor souls generally avoid extended periods of time spent away from the comfort and privacy of home, where a lavatory is always available. In essence, chronic stomach upset is far more limiting behaviorally than physically… The fear factor associated with bouts of sudden diarrhea is horrible. Patients often cite their frustration, fright and limitations as being just as bad, if not worse, than the punishing condition itself. Chronic Diarrhea SolutionThere are many OTC and prescription drugs which are very effective at dealing with acute diarrhea. Unfortunately, as most of you already know, these medicines do not prevent the condition from occurring; they merely resolve it once it has taken its course. Many patients become psychologically dependant upon these symptomatic drugs and carry them 24/7. Unfortunately, most of these suffering individuals do not find any treatment which prevents their painful symptoms or settles their digestive tracts permanently.Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a typical diagnosis for many people with chronic bowel problems and we all know how ineffective medical science has been at actually curing this epidemic condition… Chronic Diarrhea AdviceI was a person who experienced severe intestinal and stomach discomfort for as long as I remember. As a child, I could eat the same food everyday and get sick half the time. There was no rhyme or reason why my stomach turned sour at the drop of a hat and I suffered often and terribly with uncontrollable gastrointestinal concerns for decades…Once I learned about knowledge therapy, and used this wonderful approach to treat my chronic back pain, I also applied the techniques to my other aches and pains, including my sensitive stomach. Well, not only did it work, but it was truly miraculous! I can now eat anything and everything and have discovered (thanks to my wife) that I really love to be adventurous in my culinary habits. Life is so much better without the fear and social pressures of an ultra sensitized digestive system. I still get occasional stomach upset when I have something bothering me psychologically… For me, this is an indicator to look inward and discover the cause, which always quickly resolves the physical symptoms 100%. Too bad the treatment was not as effective at permanently banishing my back ache. Oh well, I am happy for the benefits it did provide... As an aside, there is abundant wonderful research available concerning the effects of autonomic regulation of the gastrointestinal system and how it can be made to suffer by the whim of the subconscious mind. Dr. John E. Sarno touches on this topic often in his various books. Chronic Diarrhea to Back Pain 6/24/09 Revised 11/19/11 |
