Tab Bandy plus one tab at night and one tab after 15days

I was done vegatomy and pyloriplasty in 1993. This time my intestinal motility is very low. I daily take conitapride 1 mg thrice daily for increasing intestinal motolity and levosulpride 50 mg twice daily.but I frequently suffer from amoebiasis and gastric distress due to which I feel like hell. Can homoepathy relieve my problem of decreased intestinal motility and amoebiasis? My endoscopy was done which showed everything normal
