Personality:
Very emotional, loves nature, literature, philosophy, poetry, wildlife, travelling and photography. Keeps to himself all the time but talks a lot if comes across a like-minded person, over frank (discloses personal life and losses very easily), loves to discuss subjects like philosophy, life after death, cult, spirituality, international affairs, space, health, alternative medicine etc, very curious and inquisitive, finds it very difficult to trust woman (interrogates every statement made), goes out of the way to help people, timid- avoids confrontation, always lonely, day dreamer, not practical, ego gets hurt very fast, gets angry very fast and becomes calm soon, can shout out loud and use profanity when angry, has lost vital life force due to too much suffering in life, can relate to people who have experienced too much loss in life, can give great advice, can see through people, observant, notices minute details, very poor concentration during working, forgetful, cant memorize lessons since 14 yo, relationships break quickly due to over trust or over expectations, cleanliness and hygiene conscious all the time, Cleans house daily, can’t stand loud noise and strong odour, can’t stand bright light and lives in dim light,  bad childhood due to violence and lack of love, could not study beyond grade 12th due to poor memory and concentration arising out of depression, always had a good will power but now losing it, lost marriage due to spouse infidelity, very conscious of looks and appearance and feels bad and shy when in poor health and not well dressed, have been avoiding crowd completely since July 2014. Meditates daily. Never took drugs. Never smoked. Never visited a sex worker. Had 330 ml beer once a week from 23 -33, Listens to music 2-3 times a week and reads daily for passing time. Very good sex drive. Heavy masturbator since 15 and now it leads to fatigue and acne. Hardly any friends now as all are married and busy. Lazy. Slow worker. Needs pin drop silence for sleep. Wakes up at the slightest noise or any disturbing thought. Takes an hour to sleep again. Dreams are mostly about loss and failure. Gets nervous fast when facing an issue in life and gets rest only when it has been completely solved. Remains very anxious till the matter has been resolved. Always in a hurry while buying anything, or eating, or while reaching any place. Always late for work.

In a nut shell, an intelligent and an intellectual person from well-educated and successful parents, who failed to get educated, failed in his career, failed in his marriage and now after completely losing his health, lives the life of an outcast brooding over his terrible fate all the time! Badly misses success, recognition from the society and companionship of an intellectually compatible/stimulating woman of high moral character.


What makes the condition better?
Soft boiled food, over ripe bananas, chicken bone soup, 8 hours of good sleep, eating on time, Sunshine, positive and like-minded people, meditation, heater in winter season, 30 min sleep in the afternoon, walk after every meal, daily bath. Eating exact quantity as stomach allows. Hot ginger tea (w/o milk) gives great mental satisfaction in the evening.

What makes the condition worse?
Hard food, intolerant food, too much oil, fat, cold and dark days, cold region, less sleep, cold wind, bananas/fruits after 2 pm, anxiety if any, bad news, not walking after meals, any work after meal. Eating extra at night (even 5 teaspoons of rice is extra & stomach can’t take it)

Eating Habits
Loved both spicy/salty and sweet food but had a sweet tooth. Loved fresh juices, chicken, soups, cakes and pastries. Allergic to fish since childhood days – used to feel like vomiting at the smell of fish. Loved dining out and had no digestion issues or intolerances.
Now alive on white rice, masoor dal, boiled potatoes, bitter gourd, ripe pumpkin, peas, mushrooms, 1 boiled egg/day, tomatoes, ripe bananas and boiled apples. CANT DIGEST FAT at all.  Used to eat wheat free-soya free-corn free-lactose free bread /pasta/cookies while living abroad but can’t now as not available here. Appetite is perfect. Thirst is normal. Loves food served hot.






Please Note:
- No stomach ache
- No blood shed
- No constipation
- No gas formation or rumbling
- No nausea
- I suffer from INTOLERANCES and NOT ALLERGIES!
- Stomach very sensitive after meals, wear pants very low and avoid touching belly
- Always have to eat extra-soft food like over ripe bananas, boiled apples and over cooked rice
- Bitterness of throat and mouth completely gone after starting homeopathy
- Fatigue 50% better after B12 tabs and China 30, increases with wheat consumption
- Go to toilet once a day now after homeopathic treatment, initially 4 X daily. Initially had to rush to the toilet after eating wheat or lactose, now can wait till the next morning BUT NOT IN CASE OF FAT. CAN’T TOLERATE FAT AT ALL.
- Urine keeps dribbling in pants for sometime after coming out of washroom. The problem worsens in cold regions and during the winter season. Also can’t control it for more than 2 min and pee in pants.
- Was given Cal Carbonica 10M twice in very quick succession in 2016. Cured teeth sensitivity upto 90%, however, reduced hair and skin to almost ashes at that time. Made the stool perfect for few days but due to my mistake of eating chocolate and cold drinks suddenly, everything went back to square one. Never tried Cal Carb again due to fear of its effect on hair and skin.  Was given Cal Silcata 1M during those days. Destroyed hair quality again and brought in bone pain for 2 months. Also, got tiny brown eruptions all over forehead that are still there. Never tried again.
Was given Acid Phos 6x by another doctor that gave better sleep for few days and
filled in the tiny bald spots on beard and moustache for sometime. Ignatia did not help much and Nat Mur 200 always gave good sleep and improved hair quality but did not fill the bald spots. Phosphorus 30 does fill in the bald spots but the moment I eat wheat, hair falls down within 72 hours. Have not tried Nux much!



Past Medical History:
-Asthma from 5 yo till 20 yo
-Cervical pain due to call centre work, night shifts & stress. Treated with homeopathy.
-Depression from 15 yo till 19 yo (Took allopathic medicines as prescribed)
i) Lead to very poor concentration and loss of memory power
ii) Affected body growth & Immunity



Work Life:
Worked for call centres from 2002 -2011 and slept in the day and worked at night. Health improved significantly after quitting call centre job in 2011 and sleeping at night. Had to quit working in early 2016 due to the current health issue. Unemployed for the last two years.





Summary
Excessive stress for 3 years due to the immigration work, sleeping very late (3 am) every night for 3 years, grief on discovering spouse infidelity, exposure to -45 to -58 degrees Celsius for six to nine months w/o proper clothes, and missing meals continuously for nine months destroyed the body’s equilibrium and immunity power. I personally feel that the remedy has to fix two issues:
1. Mind Gut relation that got severed due to excessive stress and grief &
2. The physical damage caused to the stomach which led to malabsorption and decline in the eating and food processing capacity.
Food intolerance, I believe, will get cured if point 1 is taken care of. The system has stopped recognizing wheat, milk, coffee, chocolate, nuts etc and the moment it falls in my gut, the immunity attacks it leading to painful acne, hair fall, fatigue and joint pain as side effects. I think this is why they call it an auto-immune disorder in the west. Some homeopaths only focused on the mind and I did not benefit at all from them, and some focused only on stomach and I did not benefit much from them as well.
