Hi Guillermo,
You'd need to begin with the symptoms. Can you describe all of what's
changed since the person became ill?

Guillermo-

The nature of the stool, time and other modalities and attendant
symptoms are very important. I have treated a fair amount of amebiasis
cases.

Are you talking of acute amebic dysentery or the chronic amebiasis
which is often confused with irritable bowel syndrome.

It is the same treatment in homeopathy whether it is bacillary or
amebic- based on symptoms and modalities. Any repertory and Bell's
diarrhea in some instances help.

For the chronic form I have used Thuja as an intercurrent a lot; also
Sulphur( < morning, burning, Chronic forms), NV ( < morning, never get
done, likes and tolerates fats), Aloes ( characteristic "unsure"
feeling) , Ipec ( clean tongue,fever, < rainy seasons, nauseous, after
rich food), Colocynth ( typical pain, lots of flatus) , Podophyllum (
depressed, yellow stools, liver symptoms) etc. Puls ( changeable, <
fatty food) , Ferr phos ( fever with bloody diarrhea) Trombidium ( <
eating, drinking)

Holarrhena antidysenterica ( Kurchi) is good in both acute and chronic
forms. I have used it in low dilutions.

Sycotic co. bowel nosode has also proven useful.

Dear Guillermo

As Robin wrote the most common remedies in dysentery are: podo, aloe s., merc, merc cor, puls .

Intractable cases may be assisted with a few alternating doses of the related isode - ameoba, shigella, e coli, dys co, syc co. etc. These rx's may not cure in themselves, but they will help push the case towards cure.

Naturopathic dietary assistance:
• banana, ripe or green, lightly fried (sauteed) in ghee (especially in cases of bleeding)
• rice porridge or water rice
• yogurt

These three items should be the only diet for until the bleeding and violent diarrhea stops. Avoid meat, leafy vegetables, fruits. Soft bland foods like carrots, potatos are good, as is toasted bread. Psyllum husk (isabgol, etc) can be included to add fiber to the diet. Be sure to drink 1 cup of water or oral rehydration solution after every bout of diarrhea to avoid dehydration.
Sincerely,

Dear Guillermo,
Hope this helps. On the other hand if the case is of IBS then Robinia 3x
over long periods (months) is required. Also the exact remedy(s) will have
to be decided after individualisation.
