HELLO BAYAS,
Your reported symptoms - lower abdominal pulling pain every 20 minutes for 2 days -urge to defecate frequently , but only gas passes - no chronic illness - age= 45
These symptoms point towards a disturbance in Apana vata, a subtype of Vata dosha that governs the pelvic region, including the colon, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs.
Your symptoms suggest -Anaha= suppressed flatus, discomfort due to gas - Adhmana= gaseous distention in lower abdomen - Vibandha= constipation or incomplete evacuation -Possibly early stage of Grahani: A functional digestive disorder caused by mandagni (low digestive fire)
POSSIBLE CAUSES IN YOUR CASE -eating at irregular times - dry, cold, or gas-producing foods like cauliflower, chana etc - suppression of natural urges - emotional stress or overthinking - vata increases with stress - exposure to cold weather, sitting on cold surfaces - excessive travel or activity
AYURVEDA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
DOSHA= vata(apana) is vitiated-becomes erratic, cold, and dry DUSHYA= agni(digestive fire) and Malas(waste products, especially faces) SROTAS AFFECTED= annavaha srotas(digestive tract),Purishavaha srotas(colon) SYMPTOMS= pulling pain, bloating, flatus without stool, urge to defecate repeatedly, discomfort
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
1) AGNI DEEPANA AND AMAPACHANA (stimulating digestion and removing toxins)
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with water water after meals =relieves gas, bloating , colic, kindles digestive fire
-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey or warm water before mealls = digestive stimulant
-AJWAIN+ ROCK SALT -chew 1 tsp ajwain with a pinch of rock salt -follow with warm water =acts as a natural carminative
2) VATA ANULOMANA(normalising downward movement of vata)
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night = softens stools, reduces bloating and vata disturbance
-ABHAYARISHTA= 20 ml + 20 ml water after dinner = mild laxative, balances apana vata, improves bowel habits
3) PAIN MANAGEMENT
-DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml + warm water twice daily before meals =releieves deep seated vata related colic, supports apana vata balance
EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATION -Dashmoola taila =warm the oil, apply to lower abdomen and gently massage clockwise for 5-10 min -cover the area with a hot water bag
RECOMMENDED DIET -moong dal khichdi with ghee- easy to digest, balances all doshas - boiled vegetables= ash gourd, bottle gourd, carrots - rice gruel with cumin and rock salt - warm water with ginger, fennel or cumin throughout the day -buttermilk with roasted cumin and hing after lunch
FOODS TO AVOID -cold water and refrigerated food= increases vata, weakens digestion -curd at night= heavily increases kapha and vata - pulses like chana, rajma, urad dal= gas forming - cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli= faltulence - fried and spicy food= disturbs digestive fire, increases pitta-vata - tea, coffee, carbonated drinks= irritate vata and colon
LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS -wake up early by 6 am, bowel habits tend to improve with routine - take a short walk after meals - gentle yoga poses *pawanmuktasana *apanasana *vajrasana after meals -Use a hot water bag over the abdomen for pain relief - keep abdomen warm, avoid sitting on cold surfaces
DON’T -avoid excessive physical exertion -avoid suppressing urge to urinate/pass stool -don’t delay meals or overeat
DO FOLLOW
THANK YOU
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Hello Bayas, Is there any history of loose stool, constipation etc…? What’s your Appetite?
Start on Triphala churna- 1 tsp with warm water at night Avipattikara churna- 1/2 tsp with water before meals Drink plenty of fluids
Stomach pain and a frequent urge to use the toilet can be quite discomforting. Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it could possibly indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, characterized by irregular or excessive movement within the body, often affecting the digestive system. This imbalance could lead to symptoms like the pulling pain and the sensation of needing to pass stool but only passing gas.
To address the discomfort, consider including warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods in your diet, as these can help pacify Vata. Foods like cooked rice, khichdi (a porridge made from a mixture of rice and lentils), and soups can be soothing to your digestive system. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods until the symptoms subside, as they can aggravate Vata.
Ginger tea or warm fennel tea after meals may also help in relieving the gas and promoting digestion. Chewing on a small piece of fresh ginger with a dash of rock salt before meals might stimulate your digestive fire, known as ‘Agni’, which is important for effective digestion and assimilation.
In terms of lifestyle, try to avoid rushed activities and create a sense of calm in your routines. Practicing gentle yoga or deep breathing exercises might also support the calming of Vata dosha.
If the pain continues without improvement, and especially if it increases in intensity, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any serious underlying causes. Immediate attention is needed if any new symptoms arise, like fever, vomiting, or severe and persistent pain. Seeking a professional opinion ensures that you receive the appropriate care needed for your condition.
HELLO BAYAS,
SYMPTOMS -pulling pain in lower abdomen (not pricking)-> indicates vata imbalance, particularly apana vata -pain occurs every 20 minutes-> suggests vata vitiation with Vamana vata disturbance affecting gut motility -feeling of urge to defecate often, but only flatus is released -> points to adhmana (bloating) and vibandha (incomplete evacuation) -chronic illness=none- good for response to natural therapy
AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS

GAS BUT NO MOTION= adhmana/anaha= obstructed vata in colon
FREQUENT URGE= apana vata dushti= imbalanced downward movement

STEP 1= STIMULATE DIGESTION AND REMOVE TOXINS
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals thrice daily =reduces gas, improves digestion
