Hello, I am very sorry to hear your son is dealing with such a painful combination. In Ayurveda, severe gastritis (Amlapitta) mixed with constipation usually points to a Pitta-Vata imbalance where the digestive fire is “sour” and the downward movement (Apana Vayu) is blocked. Gastritis: Excess heat and acidity in the stomach. Constipation: Dryness and lack of movement in the colon. The Goal: Cool the stomach lining while gently stimulating the bowels without using harsh laxatives that could further irritate the gastritis. Internal Medicine 1. Avipathi Churnam Action: The gold standard for Amlapitta and constipation. It cools Pitta and cleanses the gut. Dose: 5 to 10 grams mixed with warm water or honey at bedtime. 2. Dadimadi Ghritam Action: Medicated ghee that heals the stomach lining (gastritis) and lubricates the intestines. Dose: 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the morning with a little warm water. 3. Alsactil Tablet Action: Specifically formulated for hyperacidity and gastric ulcers. Dose: 1 tablet three times a day after food. For severe cases involving both acidity and constipation, a Matra Basti (oil-based enema) is usually preferred over strong cleansing enemas to avoid irritation. Basti treatment is available any near by Ayurveda center. Medicine: Dhanwantharam Thailam or Kalyanaka Ghritam.

Hello, Since your son has acute (recent) severe gastritis + constipation, this is a pitta (inflammation) + vata (constipation) condition Important point Because symptoms are < 1 week, this is acute stage -So basti is NOT first choice now -start with gentle internal soothing treatment Internal medications gastritis healing (main) 1) Avipattikar churna= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals =reduces acidity, burning, stomach inflammation Constipation very important 2) Gandharvahastadi kashaya= 15ml with warm water at bedtime =softens stool without irritating stomach Digestion correction 3) Dadimashtaka churna= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water =reduces gas, improves digestion When to consider Basti? only if -constipation becomes chronic (weeks/months) -not needed in acute gastritis phase If needed later -Mild matra basti under supervision Diet most important -soft , cooling, easy food -rice + moong dal khichdi -boiled vegetables -small ghee heals lining Avoid strictly -spicy, fried food -packaged/junk food -cold drinks -very dry foods worsens constipation Daily routine -warm water sipping -regular meal timing -don’t allow long gaps -encourage mild movement Recovery timeline -2-3 days= pain and burning reduce -5-7 days= bowel improves -1-2 weeks= full recovery (if diet followed) This is acute inflammation + constipation not chronic disease -treat gently -avoid aggressive therapies like strong basti for now Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
