Question: Dear doctor, I ask the Board about his condition. I am 39 years old, over 15 suffer quite badly in the past year, more intensive, high gas formation, incomplete bowel movement, diarrhea. symptoms are so intense, that became unbearable work surrounded by people. 12 years have seen a gastroenterologist, is put IBS dolihosigma, lack Bauhin flaps, dysbiosis, xp gastroduodenitis dzhvp, hypothyroidism. Uzi liver, gall without pathology, colonoscopy (examination of the full after the first failure) – catarrhal sigmoid, dolihosigma. Biochemical tests were normal. Periodically assigned course-Intetriks, enterol, bifiform that if they make it easy to position, it is very low. Symptoms removes only loperamide. In general deterioration are a few times a month, quite unnecessarily, have kept a strict diet of vegetables and fruits do not use for years – just oatmeal, potatoes, meat, fish, white bread. Even the cheese had to be deleted, without causing the discomfort. How valid is my treatment? Can something in principle, improve the quality of life? Are there, in your opinion, the need for full-time consultation with specialists from leading clinics? Thank you very much in advance.
Answer: Unfortunately, only a highly individual approach, and even then not always, improves the quality of life in principle. Of course, you must be sure that it was not aggravated by gluten enteropathy, lactose intolerance. Recommendations of the leading clinics "seem to be very sad. Here are quoting a message from the November 9, 2003 itself can try the original scheme proposed by the Moscow Research Institute of Gastroenterology. The originality lies in the fact that: 1) it is distinctive, very different from the known relevant foreign materials, 2) has the nature of practical recommendations for local health workers, despite the lack of information about effectiveness, and 3) advised to apply well-defined commercial products, ie . a lobbyist shade. This scheme is not, of course, secret, and has been published in the professional print and web in 2002 and 2003. I quote it verbatim. "TREATMENT UNDER standards developed in TSNIIG (2003). I. In IBS with diarrhea predominance is recommended that mechanically and chemically smooth diet (# 4 in). Of the drugs prescribed: a) motor controllers: loperamide 0,002 g, 2 tablets 1 once a day under the tongue, to stabilize the stool (1-3 days or more), b) smectic. 1 sachet 3 times daily before meals to design a chair, c) one of probiotics: bifiform 1-2 capsules, 2 times a day 2 weeks; laktobakterin 5 doses 2 times, 4 weeks; lineks 1-2 capsules 3 times a day, 4 weeks, d) prebiotic Hilak Forte. 60 drops 3 times a day, 4 weeks. II. In IBS with constipation predominance designate : a) food additives (wheat bran, flax seed), b) Mukofalk. 1-2 teaspoons of the night, 2 weeks or macrogol 4000 on 10-20 g (1-2 bags) at night, 2 weeks, c) 15-30 ml of lactulose. III. In IBS with predominance of pain used mebeverin 0,2 g, 2 times per day, 2 weeks; Meteospazmil. 1 capsule 2-3 times per day, 2 weeks or pinaveriya bromide 0.05 g 3 times day, 2 weeks. The course of treatment in the hospital continues for 2 weeks. If you do not achieve remission – additional examination, consultation and treatment at the clinic of neurosis. "Help: lactulose = Duphalac. ; Macrogol = Forlaks. ; Mebeverin = Dyuspatalin. ; Pinaveriya bromide = Ditsetel. . It seems to be ridiculously simple: two weeks in the hospital, the walls are treated, "issued" with the improvement, and then two weeks swallow these OTC brands of tools at home, then stop the drug and go to a psychiatrist. As said Stanislaw Jerzy Lec, in fact, is not so, as in reality. Of course, everything is much more complicated and effective assistance impossible without some knowledge of medicine. P. S. Diet N4v differs little from the intestinal dietary N 4b (see http://doktor. Ru/qa/14941/qa. Html? Id = 60159). A) food can bake and serve in uncomminuted form. B) are resolved with good endurance (which is absent in the CMB): cabbage, green peas, young beans, beets and leaf lettuce, tangerines, oranges, watermelons and grapes without skin, sweet fruit and berry juices. B) You can eat sausage soaked herring, lean ham and finely chopped noodles.
