Irritable Bowel

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disease of the alimentary tract. Rather than a structural abnormality, it is a disorder of the bowel where the function is altered. Grahani Dosha is a disease mentioned in the ayurvedic scriptures. It has been named so because it is a disorder that alters the function of the bowel as in IBS rather than producing a structural abnormality. In this case study, a 32-year-old male patient presenting with symptoms of IBS was treated with the principle of grahani Dosha. Shamana Chikitsa was done with internal medications for a period of 4 consecutive months. The symptoms of the patient were analysed throughout the period to obtain the findings. Treatment with medications such as Sootasekhara rasa and Dadimashtaka Choorna provided significant relief. Keywords: Irritable bowel syndrome, Grahani Dosha

The advancement of technologies including the availability of sensitive and specific serological screenings and endoscopic intestinal examinations has led to increased awareness and recognition of silent epidemic celiac disease in patients with irritable bowel syndrome in the last two decades. The objective of this case report is to describe the importance of routine screening of celiac disease in patients with non-specific (common) intestinal symptoms, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome. The author reported the clinical progress of a 44-year-old Saudi male patient presented with non-specific intestinal symptoms initially misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. The investigations, including serological testing and endoscopic duodenal biopsy, revealed that the patient had celiac disease. After a course of gluten-free diet, his intestinal symptoms significantly improved. This case report emphasizes the importance of thorough investigations for patients with irritable bowel syndrome to exclude celiac disease.

Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) appears to have a bidirectional interaction with both depressive and anxiety-related complaints. However, it remains unclear how exactly the psychological complaints, at the individual level, are related to somatic symptoms on a daily basis. This single case study investigates how somatic and psychological variables are temporally related in a patient with irritable bowel syndrome. Case report The patient was a woman in her mid-twenties with an IBS diagnosis. She reported frequent soft bowel movements (5–6 times per day), as well as flatulence and abdominal pain. She resembled a typical IBS patient; however, a marked feature of the patient was her high motivation for psychosomatic treatment as well as her willingness to try new strategies regarding the management of her symptoms. As an innovative approach this single case study used a longitudinal, observational, time series design. The patient answered questions regarding somatic and psychological variables daily over a period of twelve weeks with an online diary. The diary data was analysed using an autoregressive (VAR) modeling approach. Time series analyses showed that in most variables, strong same-day correlations between somatic (abdominal pain, daily impairment) and psychological time series (including coping strategies) were present. The day-lagged relationships indicated that higher values in abdominal pain on one day were predictive of higher values in the psychological variables on the following day (e.g. nervousness, tension, catastrophizing, hopelessness). The use of positive thinking as a coping strategy was helpful in reducing the pain on the following days. Conclusion In the presented case we found a high correlation between variables, with somatic symptoms temporally preceding psychological variables. In addition, for this patient, the use of positive thoughts as a coping strategy was helpful in reducing pain.

Gridhrasi is shoolpradhan vyadhi so it causes great discomfort to the patient. Pain primarily starts in the sphik region and in kati which can be related to lumbosacral region where sciatic nerve root starts. Pain later radiates through the posterior aspect of uru, janu, jangha, pada. Gridrasi is cured by the help of shamana chikitsa.

Irritable Bowel

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder marked by some gastrointestinal symptoms frequently associated with extradigestive symptoms with unknown organic causes. In this study the authors investigated whether IBS causes psychological symptoms or vice versa. Data were collected through an in-depth interview (anamnesis), a hetero-anamnesis, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). The subject was a 20-year-old student (D) diagnosed with IBS since the age of 15. Results showed that the subject had an extremely severe anxiety and stress, and moderate depression. The main obstacle faced by the subject was his escape-avoidance coping strategies which were not appropriately applied in solving problems.This situated the subject in a vicious cycle between recurrent IBS, helplessness, avoidance of responsibility, and anxious/stressful conditions. The subject’s type of personality which tended to be introverted and neurotic made him experience difficulties in overcoming psychosocial stressors, such as academic demands and lack of social relationships. The psychological factors influenced the psychological states of the subject that resulted in the recurrence of IBS.

ABSTRACTRifaximin is one of the common drugs used in clinical practice in the management of traveler’s diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and hepaticencephalopathy. Hyponatremia is one of the rare side effects of this drug. We hereby present the case of a middle-aged woman who was a known caseof IBS: Diarrhea predominant who developed symptoms of hyponatremia after a short duration of rifaximin treatment, no other cause of hyponatremiawas found on evaluation, so we suspect this as a rare side effect of rifaximin therapy.Keywords: Rifaximin, Hyponatremia, Irritable bowel syndrome.
