HELLO SRISHTI,

MAIN COMPLAINTS -severe bloating of the abdomen -back pain, worsening with dieting -inability to exercise, possibly leading to more gas and stiffness -on a raw diet(salads and veggies), but it’s not helping0 in fact worsening.

Your condition seems to be a combination of -Agnimandya (weak digestion) -Vata Pradhan tridosha imbalance, especially vata aggravation -Possibly Apana vata vitiation- causing bloating, gas retention, constipation -Associated dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues) due to undernourishment -back pain may be due to vata affecting asthi dhatu (bones/spine)

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vata dosha= reduce gas, pain, dryness, instability -strengthen agni(digestive fire)= proper breakdown and assimilation of food -Reduce Ama (toxins)= eliminate undigested food residue causing bloating -Nourish body tissues= rebuild strength and reduce back pain -Improve apana vata flow= support elimination and reduce abdominal distention -Avoid further vata vitiation= prevent worsening of pain and digestive issues

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Ultrasound abdomen= check for gas pockets, ovarian cysts, gallbladder issues, or fibroids -Stool test= rule out infection, parasites -Blood test(CBC, ESR, Vitamin D, B12)= detect deficiencies , inflammation -Lumbosacral spine X-ray= assess spinal degeneration or nerve impingement -Thyroid panel= rule out hypothyroidism, which can cause bloating and fatigue

The bloating you’re experiencing, especially along with dietary changes and back pain, could be attributed to several factors in Ayurveda, notably a disrupted balance in your Vata dosha. When Vata is aggravated, it can lead to digestive issues like bloating. Let’s focus on addressing this imbalance while being mindful of your back pain and dietary needs.

Firstly, since exercise is challenging, consider incorporating simple, gentle yoga poses that do not strain your back. Poses like Vajrasana (Thunderbolt pose), which can be done post meals for a few minutes, are known in Ayurveda to aid digestion. Ensure any movement is slow and controlled, and ideally guided by a professional.

Looking at your diet, while vegetables and salads are valuable, raw foods can sometimes increase Vata in certain constitutions, leading to bloating. Try lightly steaming your vegetables so they are easier to digest. Also, introduce warming spices like ginger, cumin, fennel and asafoetida (hing) into your meals. These spices not only enhance digestion but also help to reduce gas. A cup of warm, ginger herbal tea post-meal may also help soothe your digestive system.

It’s also crucial to establish a regular eating pattern to stabilize Vata. Consuming meals at the same times daily without skipping can enhance your agni (digestive fire).

For your back pain, an external application of warm Mahanarayana or Sesame oil could be beneficial. Gently massage it onto your back, promoting circulation and warmth, ideally under supervision to avoid complications. Consider consulting a physiotherapist to identify any specific triggers and safe exercises.

If your diet change is aggravating your back pain, it might indicate nutritional deficiencies (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium), your body requires more than just salads. Balanced diet, including whole grains, good fats like ghee, olive oil, and proteins are vital, ensure your diet is nourishing.

Lastly, hydration is key. Sometimes bloating can be associated with inadequate water intake. Warm water sipped throughout the day can remedy this and also aid in digestion.

If these approaches do not provide relief or if symptoms worsen, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional who can offer personalized guidance tailored to your unique health needs.

Bloating can often be linked to poor digestion and imbalanced doshas, commonly vata imbalance especially if back pain is involved. First, pay attention to your eating habits. Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can ease the digestion process. Though you are focusing on vegetables and salads, raw food might be aggrevating the vata dosha. Consider cooking your vegetables to make them easier on your digestive system. Warm, cooked meals can soothe both bloating and back pain.

Introduce carminative herbs like ajwain (carom seeds) and hing (asafoetida) in your cooking. These are known to help with digestion and reducing bloating. A pinch of hing in your meals or a warm ajwain tea can stimulate digestion. Moreover, fennel (saunf) after meals can further ease your stomach.

Address your hydration, but avoid cold drinks; opt for warm water assists in digestion and pacifying vata. In the morning, have a cup of warm water mixed with lemon and a pinch of salt to awaken and balance agni, the digestive fire.

Given your back pain, consider gentle yoga poses like pawanmuktasana or supta matsyendrasana, which don’t exert your back but can assist in releasing gas and reducing bloating.

Monitor your diet and its effect on agni carefully. If symptoms persist or if there’s a significant aggravation in the back pain, consulting an holistic practitioner or healthcare professional is important. Balancing lifestyle and diet while respecting your body’s needs is critical.
