Homeopathic Gems for Digestive Ailments
(Also read, Severe bloating after antibiotic treatment. ) As someone who has had all kinds of digestive ailments (persistent acid reflux, slowed digestion…). Also, understand the antidoting chances
Nux Vomica 3o
This is quite possibly the silver bullet of remedies. Anytime you’ve overeaten or experience acidity for any reason, take Nux Vomica 30 – every 2 hours. That should fix it. For most people one or two doses is all that is needed.
Iris Versacolor 30
For a 4 week course, alternate Iris Versacolor 30 and Lycopodium 30. However, the Iris is at a higher frequency – take the Iris 3 times a day (before meals). Take the Lyco only ONCE, every alternate night.
Carbo Vegetabilis 30 or 200
Got Gas? Bloating? For any kind of bloating, this is a magic bullet. Especially bloating caused by too many carbohydrates (or sugar), take Carbo Veg 30 every 2 hours, until you find relief. For me, a single dose does it.
Lycopodium 30 (for the 4 week protocol alongside Iris Versacolor)
If you get relief by drinking hot fluids – but no so much from cold fluids, Lyco may be recommended. Lyco 30 is also great for Liver detox. If you want to use it for that, take it 3 times a day, for 4 weeks.
Lyco 200 – If you go with Lyco 200, take it only twice a day (morning and night).
Causticum 30c

Excerpt from this article
Homeopathic remedies work in a vibrational manner on the mind and body. Imagine striking a note on a piano — this is the action of the remedy! Now imagine pushing the damper pedal, or drowning out the note with dissonant chords — this is what happens with antidoting.
Antidoting refers to the blocking, or negation, or reversal of the positive action of a remedy. Over the past several years experience has shown that antidoting is not as common as previously thought, and that many people can be exposed to potential antidotes with no weakening of the healing power of the remedy. However, it is wise to avoid the following substances, especially for the first few weeks of treatment, to be sure that your remedy is given full scope of action.
• Coffee: Regular, decaf, expresso, instant, all types. Interestingly, it is not the caffeine that antidotes, and it is okay to drink caffeinated tea, coke, or eat chocolate. Coffee flavoring in commercial products also is okay (very little real coffee), but Kahlua, Irish coffee may antidote.
• Camphor: Watch out for tiger balm, liniments, Vicks, Ben Gay, some chapsticks, most noxzema products. Cough lozenges often have camphor. Nail polish has camphor; it is okay to use as long as careful not to smear on skin.
