I understand your concern and at your age and with a history of bypass surgery your health needs to be handled very carefully and respectfully medicines like aspirin and cholesterol lowering drugs are usually essential after bypass and should not be stopped on your own but it is also true that with long term use they can irritate the stomach lining and weaken digestion which leads to symptoms like acidity bloating and gastric discomfort from an ayurvedic point of view this indicates mandagni with pitta aggravation and our aim is to protect the stomach and improve digestion without disturbing your heart medicines Along with continuing your prescribed cardiac medicines you may add gentle ayurvedic support you can take Avipattikar churna half teaspoon once daily at night with lukewarm water to reduce acidity and gastric irritation Shatavari churna half teaspoon twice daily after food with warm milk or water to soothe the stomach lining and Guduchi satva two hundred fifty mg twice daily after food with water to balance pitta and support digestion avoid spicy sour fried foods tea coffee and late dinners eat simple warm meals at regular times and keep a time gap between allopathic and ayurvedic medicines this approach is generally safe supportive and suitable for long term comfort if symptoms persist further customization can be done based on your digestion and strength

Namaste Shri Bipin ji, I get what you’re going through. At 75, and after bypass surgery, plus being on Aspirin and cholesterol meds for life, it’s normal to have stomach issues like gastritis, acidity, bloating, and poor digestion. It’s not just in your head, and Ayurveda can help keep your stomach safe without messing with your heart medications so dont worry we are here to help you out 😊 YOUR CONCERN – Stomach feels irritated – Gassy and bloated – Acid reflux – Digestion is slow It’s most likely happening from the long-term use of aspirin and statins. In Ayurveda, they call this Aushadha-janya Amlapitta (medicine-caused gastritis). THE AYURVEDA EXPLANATION Taking allopathic drugs for a long time can: – Make you feel hot – Irritate – Cause dryness And this makes things worse: – Pitta goes up → More acidity, burning feeling – Vata goes up → More gas, bloating – Your digestive Agni gets weak So, your stomach lining gets sensitive and inflamed. A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND – Don’t stop taking Aspirin or cholesterol meds. They’re super important after a bypass. – Ayurveda is just there to help your stomach, not switch out your current meds. WHAT WE CAN DO WITH AYURVEDA 1. Kamdudha Ras (Plain) Take 1 pill, twice a day With cold milk or water This helps to: –Calm the acid –Help the stomach lining – Stop burning and irritation 2. Yashtimadhu (Licorice) Powder ½ teaspoon, twice a day With warm milk This helps to: – Coat and protect your stomach –It prevents aspirin from hurting you – It lowers gastritis 3. Avipattikar Powderb½ teaspoon before bed With warm water This helps to: –Get rid of gas – Stop acid reflux –Help your digestion 4. Guduchi Satva 250 mg, twice a day With water This helps to: – Lower swelling from drugs – Helps your body energy levels and liver TAKE CARE OF YOUR STOMACH WITH FOOD ✅INCLUDE – Eat every 3–4 hours – Eat soft, warm foods – Rice, dal, ghee are good – Coconut water – Buttermilk AVOID – Tea, coffee – Spicy stuff – Pickles – Eating late at night – Taking Aspirin on an empty stomach Make sure to take Aspirin after eating WHEN WILL YOU FEEL BETTER: – Less acidity in 5–7 days – Less gas & bloating in 2 weeks – Stomach will feel better in 4–6 weeks Your stomach isn’t weak; it’s just sensitive because of the meds. Ayurveda can keep your stomach safe while you keep taking the drugs that save your life. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE YOUR BODY? 1) MODERN MEDICINE VIEW -Aspirin reduces the stomach’s natural protective mucus -this causes irritation, burning, gas, bloating, and acidity -with age, the stomach becomes more sensitive 2) AYURVEDIC VIEW -Long term medicine intake increases pitta (heat and acidity) -Digestive fire (agni) becomes irregular -This leads to –amla pitta (acid reflux/gastritis) –grahani weakness (sensitive digestion) –gas and bloating due to vata disturbance This is not a serious disease, but a functional imbalance, which.
