Hello I can see that it must be very uncomfortable and confusing for you when the onset of constipation, bloating, and loss of appetite is sudden after taking health drinks and supplements. However, dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
✅ YOUR CONCERN
For the last 2-3 months, you have been drinking amla + mint + curry leaves + coriander leaves (unfiltered). Just started taking Limsee vitamin C tablets (1 week).
Now you have: Constipation Bloating throughout the day Poor appetite Duration of symptoms: Less than 1 week
Adding Vitamin C tablets to the mix has only made things worse in terms of acidity and gut dryness. As a result, acute constipation with bloating has developed.
✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION (To restore digestion, relieve bloating & soften stools)
1. Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp before lunch & dinner with warm water (Controls the production of acid in stomach, helps digestion & relieves constipation)
2. Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (Helps to keep bowel movement regular and is very safe)
3. Hingvashtak Churna – ½ tsp before meals once daily (For flatulence, bloating & intestinal rumbling)
4. Castor Oil – 1 tsp with warm milk or warm water at night twice a week only (Used for gentle bowel cleansing & lubrication)
✅ STOP for now:
Limsee Vitamin C tablets Daily unfiltered leafy juice

Your current herbal intake, along with the vitamin C tablets, could be affecting your digestive system in a few ways. Amla is known for its digestive benefits, but in some people it can lead to constipation if not paired with enough dietary fiber or water intake to aid bowel movement. Pudina (mint) can sometimes result in reduced gastric motility, which might be contributing to the feelings of bloating and constipation.
Drinks prepared without straining could be particularly high in fiber, which is typically good for digestion but if suddenly increased can cause temporary bloating and constipation. Additionally, vitamin C tablets might have additives or ingredients that mildlly disturb digestive function for some.
Consider adjusting several aspects. First, increase your fluid intake to help move the fiber through your system more efficiently— this means more water throughout the day. Second, try reducing the unstrained fiber load by straining your herbal drink before consumption, this might alleviate the heaviness and discomfort.
In terms of diet, focus on including soluble fibers like oatmeal, bananas, and apples, which are easier on digestion. Avoid heavy, oily or very spicy foods right now as these may burden your system more. Allow your digestive system some rest by having several small meals rather than a few large ones.
Lastly, consider taking a short break from the vitamin C tablets and observe if symptoms persist or improve. Listen to your body and give it time to adjust with these changes. If constipation or bloating remain, it would be adviceable to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized assessment to rule out any underlying concerns.
