Few remarks:

Generals-food-flatul.food -agg, is an important Rubric, to keep its
remedies in mind in finding the simillimum.

His craving, and stool symptoms when a child might not belong to the remedy
he needs now, his state now might need a remedy different from when he was a
child.

Aversion to water/drinks could be an important symptoms.

Hello, Dr.Saboor,

Nothing special?

What did you observe when he came to you?
What were the main complaints he talked about, and what kind of emotions he
has toward them?
(Even when you ignore them to be normal for a sick person).
What do his complaints mean to him, and in what and how it hinders him?
How does he react in this on his surrounding, and what action does he take?
etc....
Is the patient hot or cold, and why he thinks he is?

You have to concentrate on this first, when you also use symptoms of the
past, without checking this.
the chance of failure is very big.
best regards, Piet

Dear Dr. Saboor, dear Joy,

at first I thought of Aluminia, too, but then I had a close look at the
M.M. by Kent, Clarke, and Boericke and I think even more worthwhile to
look at is Alumen, the potash of aluminium, I think it fits better with
the stool an rectum symptoms and the vomitting of mucus.

Aluminia has got very peculiar mental symptoms and a very specific frame
of mind which should be checked: weakness, specific confusion of
thought, strange attitude towards knives etc.

For Alumen, not many symptoms of mind are mentioned, maybe due to lack
of proving, see Kent and Clarke.

But as Joy has said, there are a lot of questions to be asked.
Anyway, to check Alumina and especially Alumen can't be wtong.

All the best
Claudia
