The symptoms you’re describing suggest a complex imbalance in your doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. Let’s address each aspect to provide some relief.
First, for your chronic IBD and gastritis, focus on soothing and balancing your digestive fire. Start with a diet that is easy on your stomach, avoiding very spicy, oily, or acidic foods. Consider having a warm glass of water with a pinch of ginger and a few drops of lemon juice every morning to kickstart gentle digestion. Follow a meal schedule with small, more frequent meals instead of large ones to prevent bloating.
To help your fatty liver, incorporate ghee in small amounts — it can be beneficial for lubrication and nourishment. Reduce or eliminate alcohol and processed foods. Include turmeric in your daily diet, as it has anti-inflammatory properties and aids liver function.
Regarding the Vata imbalance contributing to your abdominal pain and gas, practice Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil followed by a warm shower. This can help calm Vata and relieve cramping. For the bloating, include fennel seeds post meals — chew a small amount to help with digestion and gas relief.
The left side chest pain and repeated bathroom visits sound significant. Try Triphala at night — it can help regulate bowel movements and gently detoxify your system. But, given the frequency of your symptoms, consult with a healthcare provider for a detailed examination to ensure no underlying conditions are overlooked.
Also, include pranayama or gentle yoga in your routine. Deep breathing exercises can reduce migraine occurrences and ease chest tightness, linked to stress and Vata disturbance.
If symptoms persist or intensify, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Ensuring balanced lifestyle, dietary adjustments, and regular check-ups will contribute significantly to managing your condition.
hello Vikash Gupta, You’re experiencing long-term issues like frequent loose stools, stomach bloating, lower abdominal pain, gas after meals, migraine, and even chest discomfort. This is mainly because your digestion has weakened over time. In Ayurveda, this is called Agni-dushti – when the digestive fire becomes irregular or weak, it leads to the formation of Ama (toxins). These toxins travel and get stuck in the intestines, stomach, liver, and even the head, which causes symptoms like gas, cramping, migraine, and frequent toilet urges.
Conditions like IBD, erosive gastritis, and fatty liver all indicate that your Pitta (heat and inflammation) and Vata (movement and air) are aggravated. Pitta is causing acidity, burning, and inflammation in the stomach lining. Vata is causing the irregular bowel movements, gas, bloating, and pain.
Your liver is also under stress (from the past jaundice and fatty liver), which makes digestion and toxin clearance even weaker. Because of this, the undigested food and gas keep building up, causing upper and lower body symptoms like head pressure, migraine, and left-side chest pain.
We are going to use Ayurvedic medicines that:
Calm down the inflammation (Pitta), Improve digestion (Agni), Remove gas and bloating (Vata), Stop loose stools and frequent bowel urges, Support your liver, And cleanse the gut slowly and naturally. Along with that, your diet needs to be simple, warm, and easy to digest, avoiding heavy, oily, sour, and cold foods. Light food like khichdi, thin buttermilk, boiled vegetables, and warm spiced water will help your system heal.
If you consistently follow the medicines and diet for 6–8 weeks, you’ll feel more comfortable, energetic, and stable — with much fewer toilet visits, less pain and bloating, and better overall digestion.

Managing chronic IBD, erosive gastritis, and a fatty liver requires an approach that addresses the root causes through diet, lifestyle, and possible herbal treatments, based on Ayurvedic principles. First, focus on enhancing your agni or digestive fire. Consuming warm water throughout the day can aid digestion and help to flush out toxins. Avoid cold, raw, or processed foods which can aggravate your symptoms.
Next, consider your eating habits. Small, frequent meals that include fiber-rich but non-gas-forming foods such as cooked leafy vegetables can help manage bloating and cramping. Avoid eating too fast, and chew well to ensure proper food breakdown.
Triphala, an ancient Ayurvedic herbal formulation, may help with bowel movements. Take Triphala powder with warm water before bed to improve digestion and reduce bloating; start with half a teaspoon. It’s essential to assess how your body responds, so start small.
For fatty liver and digestive issues, include turmeric in your diet due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Drink turmeric tea twice a day; a pinch of turmeric in hot water would suffice.
When it comes to physical activity, opt for gentle exercises like walking or yoga to aid digestion. Nauli kriya, an Ayurvedic cleansing practice, can be great for strengthening abdominal muscles and enhancing bowel function but should be done under supervision.
Dietary changes include avoiding spicy, oily foods, and reducing alcohol intake. Favor lightly spiced foods to stabilize digestion. Adequate hydration is key, so drink warm water, but not during meals to not dilute digestive juices.
Finally, managing stress through meditation can significantly impact digestive health; try practicing meditation or deep breathing exercises for 10-15 minutes daily to help calm the mind and potentially reduce migraines associated with stress.
Remember, this Ayurvedic approach requires consistency to see results, but medical supervision is crucial. Consult with healthcare providers regularly to ensure these changes complement your existing treatment plan, especially because your condition is chronic.
