It sounds like your digestion is experiencing some imbalance. In Ayurveda, the root cause often lies in the state of your agni, or digestive fire, and the imbalance of doshas. Constipation and diarrhea indicate a possible imbalance between Vata and Pitta doshas.

Firstly, let’s address the constipation issue. Increasing fiber-rich foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help. In Ayurveda, apples and pears, when taken in the form of a purée, can be beneficial. Drinking warm water throughout the day, especially first thing in the morning, helps stimulate the digestive tract. Avoid icy beverages.

Considering the diarrhea after consuming packed or fast food, it’s important to minimize such foods as they can aggravate Pitta, leading to inflammation and loosening of the stools. Opt for freshly cooked, light, and easily digestible meals. A simple moong dal khichdi with a pinch of turmeric and ginger can be soothing for your stomach.

Regular routines are vital — try to have meals at the same times every day and chew your food thoroughly. This helps validate your digestive system on what to expect and when to expect it.

As for the risk of piles, regular elimination is essential to maintain colon health. Engage in a short daily walk or light exercises, such as yoga poses like Pawanmuktasana or Vajrasana, which can help regulate bowel movements.

Adding a teaspoon of ghee to a glass of warm milk at bedtime may act as a natural laxative. Triphala, a traditional Ayurveda formulation, if taken in the form of powder or tablets before bed can assist in regular bowel movements. It’s generally advised to consult an Ayurvedic doctor to determine the correct dosage.

You might also consider a daily stress management practice, as stress can aggravate digestive issues. Simple breathing exercises, meditation, or spending a little time in nature can go a long way.

If symptoms persist or get worse, its crucial to consult a doctor, as recurrent constipation, diarrhea or bleeding can be signs of underlying health issues.
