“Do I need to eat the foods you mentioned permanently, or should I avoid them just for now? And which boiled foods should I eat, and which cheeses can I have? You’ve restricted so many things, now I’m feeling a bit stressed.”

If you want to be healthy you have to restrict the food, I can’t say it’s like permanent but untill the symptoms persist, cheese means all types of cheese But you can see the other side in which you can include food there are so many options…see to many questions too much confusions, just have, and once your symptoms are subsiding you can introduce one by one slowly

It’s not permanent until your symptoms are reduced then you can slowly introduce all the food one by one but no cheese. I know it’s little difficult but for your health you have to follow

It’s not 15 days it will take months as if have outside wound it will take time to heal then it’s inside the body so definitely it will take a time to heal just be patience and follow properly not only medicine even diet plays important role here.

Any doubt consult me seperately.

For an issue like small bowel dilation with increased peristalsis, it’s crucial to focus on your diet carefully to support your digestive health. Ayurveda places great importance on Agni, or the digestive fire, so your diet should help balance your agni and avoid exacerbating your symptoms.

Firstly, let’s talk about what to avoid. Foods that are heavy, oily, and overly spicy can aggravate these symptoms, such as biryani, which you mentioned has already caused issues. Avoid fried foods, processed foods, and anything with excessive dairy, like rich curries or creamy dishes. Biscuits or cookies, especially those that are high in sugar and refined flour, should also be minimized, as they can be hard to digest. Limit or avoid carbonated drinks, caffeine, and alcohol as these can irritate the gut lining and increase peristalsis.

As for juices, opt for freshly squeezed juices rather than packaged ones. Fresh fruit juices can be beneficial, but ensure they’re not too acidic; apple or pear juice is usually safe. Avoid citrus juices like orange or lemon as they can be too harsh on a sensitive stomach.

Foods that can support your digestion include easily digestible options like well-cooked rice, preferably basmati as it’s light. Soups or broths made from vegetables such as zucchini or squash can be soothing and easy on the digestion. Porridge made from oats or semolina can be a good breakfast option, as long as they are made without excessive sugar or dense milk.

To further support your agni, consider including ginger tea in your daily routine. Fresh ginger root boiled in water with a touch of honey can be very balancing. However, ensure you’re not consuming too much ginger if it feels too heating for your stomach.

Stay hydrated, but try small sips of warm water throughout the day rather than large amounts at once. This encourages digestion and reduces strain on the bowels.

Be cautious with raw vegetables or salads, as they might be difficult to digest in a sensitive condition.

Given the medications you’re taking, continue them as prescribed by your healthcare provider, just ensure you monitor your body’s response to the dietary changes and medication over time.

This dietary approach should be integrated carefully and if you experience worsening symptoms or complications, it may be wise to seek immediate professional medical advice.
