CASE HISTORY – AGE 55 YEARS

In November 2002, Felt some gas discomfort on the right side under the ribs. This problem aggravated with the passage of time and gas pressure shifted to left side under the left ribs. This gas pressure also caused a big problem for my back, since I have bone degenerative disease for the last 10 years. The gas abundance under the right and left ribs is causing pain in my back while driving the car on a bumpy road and coming to sitting position from sleeping position. The gas and stool release does not cure the problem. At the start of the problem, the gas was so much excessive that it obscured my pancreas, as it was not visible in ultrasound. The gas pressure mostly remains under the right ribs, which sometimes under left ribs, sometimes lower right and left abdomin.

Surprisingly, an office boy, who serves me tea/coffee, had almost similar symptoms of gas and back pain. I also found from blood result that I am a recovered case of Hepatitis B (antibodies developed). It seems at the time of starting of this problem,
my immune system was also affected, as sugar was reported in my urine, which,
in a later test was negative.

When I don’t have gas pressure, I feel comfortable in my movement. When I have gas pressure, my condition becomes miserable with regard to movement in sitting, standing and sleeping and back pain.

Treatment:

A famous doctor in medicine told me that perhaps it is due fatty lever or IBS. Some doctors are of the opinion that perhaps it is caused by gall stones. I don’t have any heart burn or severe pain, which is due to gall stones.

My questions about diagnosis :

Is this gas pressure due to :
-Fatty lever
-IBS
-Gall stones
-After-effects of recovery from Hepatites B (why my office boy had also similar symptoms)

Presently, I am having gas/acidity cough. It seems something is in my throat which I have to swallow again and again.

I have gone through survey of using this oil forumula, and I am not impressed with results as there is a mixed feeling.

I want some experts to answer it.

I am a retired person doing stock business. But, I do not take any tension in this matter, even if I lose, since I have invested small amount in it. Of course, there are other worries which put stress on the mind sometimes, which is natural with every person. My diet is spicy asian type. I have divided 7 days on different diets, which include spicy rice once a week, vegetable with mutton, pulses, pure vegetables (all spicy). I occasionally walk for one hour (not every day). I avoid beef. I don't have any special craving for a particular diet. I drink lot of water. Nowadays I am taking medicines for IBS.

I was okay. This problem started only in 2002 and uptill now continuing. The gas abundance in my belly is making my life miserable. When I get up also I feel my belly filled with gas, flautulance. This gas is causing me back pain and pain at hip joints. Please go though some previous report reported above and read it in conjuction with the medicial reports. When there is gas I feel lot of pain in my back and belly and hip joints while driving on a speed breaker or a bumpy road. It has made my movement miserable. If you want any other answer, I will be pleased to report. Thanks
