DIARRHOEA

The Diarrhoea calling for this remedy has profuse, watery and greenish stools, containing sometimes little flakes, that look like spinach; at times, they are bloody and are always associated with sharp cutting pains in the abdomen, and often, too, with cramps in the limbs. It has great weakness, almost to fainting, with every effort at stool and copious, frothy vomiting. Cold sweat on the forehead is invariably present.

It is also indicated in Diarrhoea after fright, associated with coldness, cold sweat on the forehead and prostration.

Yucca Filamentosa [Yuc]

It is indicated in Diarrhoea, with frequent passage of flatus and frequent watery or yellowish-brown stools associated with colic or colicky pains, tenesmus, dull aching about the centre of liver, poor appetite and distended abdomen, which is sensitive to the touch.
