Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have low stomach acid, along with iron and magnesium deficiency. I sometimes have tiredness and loss of appetite with mood swings, and when I see my eye, it is white with little redness. Food is not absorbed in the gut. Kindly suggest some medicine to increase stomach acid, iron, and magnesium deficiency. Due to magnesium deficiency, I got heart palpitations. Meanwhile, I lost my weight because of a loss of appetite. Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am happy to answer your query.

Based on your description, you have been suffering from iron and magnesium deficiency. Do you have any other symptoms other than those you described here? Based on the limited information, I suggest you take Ferrum Metallicum 6X two tablets once a day for two weeks and Magnesium Phosphate 6x 2 tablets once a day, at night, for two weeks. Above mentioned remedies will help to replenish the deficient minerals and reduce the associated symptoms like low acid in the stomach. For a complete cure, you will need to take constitutional homeopathic remedies, which are prescribed based on the complete case history. For the time being, try these remedies.

Kindly report back after two weeks.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

I have acid reflux issues due to low-acid vitamins and nutrients not getting absorbed. So I need medicine for that. In addition, I have a deficiency in magnesium and iron. Meanwhile, I have little swollen glands in my neck inside on the right side. Now it is better, but still, if I open my mouth, wheezing or whistle-like sounds are coming due to gastric juice, which is white. So I need that to be changed. And also feel tired because of this deficiency. Please advice

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Fine, along with the previously mentioned remedies, add five Phosphate tablets. Kindly take two tablets twice a day for two weeks. Then, report back after two weeks. These tablets will help to replenish all kinds of deficiencies in your body.

Kindly let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

What medicine and food need to get absorbed for low stomach acid and acid reflux? I reduced my weight also. I need that to be improved since low acid is the factor of magnesium and iron deficiency.

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you eat all kinds of leafy vegetables and fruits, as they have lots of minerals and essential vitamins.

  • Consume dairy products like milk and yogurt.
  • Apple cider vinegar is best for maintaining the pH balance in your body. You can take one teaspoon of vinegar in a full glass of water, and if you like, add one teaspoon of honey. Mix it well and drink it every day.
  • eat small meals and chew your food properly.
  • Also, avoid eating processed and junk food.

You will need to consume a Hydrochloride capsule to promote the acid in your stomach and to digest the food. You may need to consult the local doctor to prescribe a Hydrochloride capsule.

Kindly follow up for further assistance.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

I guess apple cider vinegar will help. Meanwhile, I am planning for the baby. Can I take apple cider vinegar?

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

That is fine. Take half a teaspoon of vinegar instead of one teaspoon. Just try this for a month and then stop.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply

Fine, after taking magnesium, I am better. Does magnesium deficiency cause low stomach acid malabsorption, iron deficiency, loss of appetite, and weight loss? right? I want to confirm now better.

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Usually, low magnesium, malabsorption, and acid level in the stomach are interrelated to each other. Therefore, a chronic digestive problem like low acid in the stomach can cause malabsorption of nutrients, leading to iron deficiency and magnesium deficiency which ultimately leads to loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle cramps, tremors, etc. Have you started taking Magnesium Phosphate and the other five phosphate tablets?

Kindly follow up for further assistance.

Thank you

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

Please tell me Bellis Perennis 30 is for what purpose?

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Bellis Perennis is mainly indicated in soft tissue injury or injury to ligaments, bruises, sprains, etc. It works well when arinca fails to act or show the effect.

Thank You.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor for the reply,

I have swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck; whether this Bellis Perennis will work, Still that is not going..one month back, I felt something stuck in my throat, and I severely coughed then. I got some bleeding, but no bleeding after that. That area got swollen inside, not outside. What do I need to have to reduce? Something got infected due to that inside throat.

Meanwhile, I m getting white mucus, and when I open my mouth, it feels like a whistling sound, making it very uncomfortable. When I breathe in, I sometimes feel that sound from that swollen gland. That Bellis perennis will help. Meanwhile, I reduced my weight because of loss of appetite and malabsorption, suggesting some increase to normal weight; how much is ideal for me?

Answered by Dr. Sheetal Kamble

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Is it swollen lymph nodes or just swelling inside the mouth? These are two different things. If lymph nodes are swollen, I suggest you visit a local doctor for a physical check-up to rule out certain diseases. Bellis Perennis will not work in this. It would help if you tried Arnica 30c, one dose twice daily for three days. And your ideal weight should be around 121.25 to 125.66 Ibs. So, 121.25 to 125.66 Ibs should be the normal weight for your body structure.

  1. Eat small meals frequently.
  2. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables because it is very likely that you will be losing lots of essential nutrients due to malabsorption.
  3. If possible, consume eggs and meat.
  4. Whole grains and mixed nuts will also add protein to your diet, which is very important for the growth of your body.

Kindly follow up for your further assistance.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
