Is Lyco good for constipation and bloating. Does it increase or decrease your appetite - also since taking it I've noticed I feel tired after taking it.

The problem, once again , is trying to oversimplify complete reporitization procedure and prescribing on one or two Physical symptoms. Anyway, not counting mentals which should be of primary importance, some of the leading physical keynotes of this remedy are almost always having to loosen one's belt after eating even the slightest amt. of food; desire for warm drinks and food, not necessarily coffee, and, when it occurs one foot hot,the other cold{some mat. medicas not very precise on Which foot is warmest;} but in my case, I began to notice at bedtime it was right foot that was warm -this symptom consistently occurred every nt. for over a week- took remedy mainly for swollen liver, and relief was practically instantaneous..devloped much more physical and mental stamina, and just felt good. Counted this as minor success. By the way , this is considered right sided remedy, For most part. What bothers me about your reaction, is that you felt tired after administration. Consider more remedies for investigation, as personally think you likely have incorrect simillimum. Hope this helps, Best Regards, Fredric.

Yes I agree - I'm not happy that I feel so tired after taking it and this morning I feel like I'm just not here. So going to ring the homeopath and speak to him. Certainly haven't got a feel good factor from taking it.

Also you mention that unloosening belts after eaten - well I'm like that as soon as I eat my stomach extends and bloats that clothing becomes tight but as yet lyco doesn't seem to be helping that.

How many doses of a LM do you need to take to start seeing results?

Lyc - Hard, lumpy; after stool, sense of incompletion; difficult from
pain and constriction at anus.

So how long is it before you see results with lyco with regards to constipation and bloating?

To Jiggy- one thing you asked in one of your replies was how many doses of , i believe, LM pontecies should you have to take to get positive response from lycopodium-IF it is truly your simillimum-ONE dose and then wait. What other things you have said leads me to believe it is NOT! if your "Dr." is giving you repeated dose of this, find another one who knows at least as much about hhomeopathy as i do, and i'm only a lay student. Good Luck, Fredric

I'm taking it in LM dose - that's why I asked the question of "how many" doses? I honestly don't think it's doing any good if I'm truthful - I feel better when I take sepia!

It varies from individual to individual case. It could be from a day to a week or even more

Well I'm really losing heart with homeopathy because I've had a few remedies now for this chronic constipation and nothing seems to be working.
