Gas pain and acid reflux after having a baby can often be linked to changes in your body and lifestyle. Postpartum, your body’s digestive system can be quite sensitive and your agni, or digestive fire, may be disturbed. This is often seen in the form of Vata imbalance, as the air and space elements increase with childbirth, contributing to bloating and discomfort.
Firstly, it’s important to listen to your body and the discomfort with specific foods like legumes, since they are known to be difficult to digest, particularly when Vata is out of balance. You might consider avoiding legumes for the time, or try lentils like mung dal which are easier on the digestion. Cook them well with digestive spices such as cumin, ginger, and asafoetida. These can help break down food and reduce gas formation.
Hydration is crucial, but how you drink water matters as well. Sipping warm water throughout the day aids digestion and balances Vata. You may also try drinking fennel or cumin tea, as it calms the stomach and helps with digestion.
Consider incorporating Vata-pacifying foods that are warm, cooked, and nourishing. Soft foods like porridges made from rice or oats can be soothing. Add some ghee to your meals, it is cooling and soothing for Pitta which can be high, resulting in the acid reflux you mentioned.
Pay attention to meal timings. Eating at regular intervals and not skipping meals can help stabilize your digestion. Avoid cold, raw foods and heavy meals in the evening to reduce nighttime discomfort.
Since you’re breastfeeding, there might be a nutritional demand for more iron and calcium. Include foods that are rich in these nutrients, such as almonds and sesame seeds, which also promote balanced digestion.
Implementing a few minutes of meditation or deep breathing daily can help ease the mind and digestive system. Also, gentle exercises like walking can stimulate digestion without stressing your body.
Ensure that any ayurvedic recommendations align with advice from your healthcare provider, especially since you’re breastfeeding. If your symptoms persist, seeking medical attention to rule out any other health issues would be wise, as well.
