HELLO DEEPIKA,

After her appendix surgery, the natural movement of the intestines may have become a bit irregular. Ayurveda would describe this as Vata-imbalance (vata is the principle that governs air , movement, and nerve impulse in the body). When vata is disturbed, gases don’t move freely- they get stuck in different parts of the gut, leading to bloating, cramping, and pain.

On top of that, her digestion seems weakened. Foods like wheat, cheese, which added to gas formation. The fact that she improved when avoiding such foods confirms this pattern.

SO IN SHORT MAIN PROBLEM= vata imbalance + weak digestive fire RESULT= gas forms easily, gets trapped, pain and discomfort CONTRIBUTING FACTORS= surgery , diet changes, city lifestyle, stress

TREATMENT GOALS -Strengthen digestion so food is broken down properly -correct vata imbalance so gases move smoothly and don’t get stuck -remove ama (toxins) formed by half-digested food -provide long term resilience so she can tolerate a variety of foods in moderation without attacks

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water or ghee before meals = helps digest heavy foods, prevents gas from forming. Hing and ajwain directly pacify vata in the gut

2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals =reduces acidity, clears toxins, keeps bowel soft

3) JEERAKADYARISHTA= 15 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =improves post operative digestion, relieves chronic bloating

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night if constipation is there =keeps bowel moving, reduces toxins

DURATION= 2-3 moths for noticeable stability

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE = daily self massage with warm sesame oil on the abdomen, lower back, and legs =pacifies vata, relaxes abdominal muscles , improves circulation

2) HOT FOMENTATION(warm water bag on stomach) during pain episodes to help gas release

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

REGULARITY= fixed meal times, fixed sleep times. vata worsens with irregular routines

WARMTH= cold food, cold drinks, or cold weather aggravate vata. warm, cooked, lightly spiced food is best

REST AFTER MEALS= sitting calmly in vajrasana for 5-10 minutes after meals helps digestion.

DIET

FAVOUR= light, warm, well cooked food. moong dal, rice, lauki, pumpkin, ridge gourd, bottle gourd, small amounts of ghee

SPICES= hing, ajwain, cumin, ginger, fennel= all help digest gas-forming food

AVOID = col drinks, raw salads, cabbage, cauliflower, rajma, chana, fried food, cheese, wheat in excess, and heavy sweets

SIMPLE TIPS= eat only until 3/4 full-overloading weak digestion worsens gas

YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana -vajrasana -setu bandhasana -supta matsyendrasana

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= balances vata -bhramari= calms nerves and gut

HOME REMEDIES -Ajwain+black salt= 1/2 tsp after meals, chew well -Hing water= pinch of hing in warm water, sip during pain -Fennel tea= boil fennel seeds in water, sip warm after meals -Ginger infusion= fresh ginger boiled in water, a little honey when lukewarm

This condition is manageable. It won’t disappear overnight, but with steady Ayurvedic practices, her digestion can become much more stable.

Ayurveda’s wisdom here is simple= when digestion is protected, the whole system heals

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HEPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Deepika, I can understand your concern about your daughters gastric issue.From your description, your daughter’s gastric issue seems related to post-surgery digestive weakness (Agni Mandya) and Vata imbalance.

After abdominal surgery like appendix removal, the intestines can become more sensitive. Living in a different climate (Delhi – dry, Vata–aggravating environment) and consuming foods like cheese, refined wheat, and heavy vegetables can worsen gas retention.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

☑️1. Daily Digestive Support

1 Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water just before lunch (very effective for trapped gas).

2 Acidonil.1 -0-1 after food ( balances excess gastric acid)

3 Triphala 1 tsp with warm. Water at bedtime – improves digestion and prevents constipation.

☑️2. Home Remedies for Gas Relief

Take ajwain + black salt + warm water during gastric attack. Hing (asafoetida) paste applied around the navel gives quick relief. Drink jeera–ajwain–saunf tea after meals. Warm water with ginger juice + honey soothes digestion.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

Eat light, freshly cooked, warm food. Prefer khichdi, moong dal, rice, lightly cooked vegetables. Avoid cheese, heavy wheat products, fried foods, cold foods, raw salads, carbonated drinks. Take small, frequent meals instead of large heavy ones.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Eat on time, avoid skipping meals. Gentle yoga for digestion: Pawanmuktasana, Vajrasana after meals, Ardha Matsyendrasana. Pranayama: Anulom Vilom & Bhramari daily 5–10 min. Warm water throughout the day, avoid cold water/iced drinks.

The gastric attacks are due to weak digestion & Vata imbalance post-surgery.

With consistent care, Ayurveda can gradually strengthen her digestion, reduce gastric episodes, and bring long-term comfort.

WIsh your daughter and you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Gas pains that get “stuck” and cause significant pain, especially after a surgical procedure and with dietary triggers, are likely related to an imbalance in her digestive system, which in Ayurveda is attributed to an aggravation of Vata dosha. ​Ayurvedic Perspective ​In Ayurveda, Vata dosha governs movement in the body, including the movement of air, nerve impulses, and waste elimination. When Vata is aggravated, its qualities of being cold, dry, and mobile can become imbalanced, leading to symptoms like:
​Excessive gas and bloating: The air element of Vata is disturbed, causing gas to accumulate.
​Colicky, sharp pain: The erratic and mobile nature of Vata causes the gas to get “stuck” and produce sharp, localized pain, particularly in the abdomen. ​Constipation: The dryness of Vata can slow down bowel movements, making it difficult to pass gas and stool.
​The appendix operation and the move to Delhi are significant factors from an Ayurvedic standpoint. Surgery is a major shock to the system, often aggravating Vata. The change in environment, especially moving to a large, often polluted city like Delhi, can also increase stress and Vata imbalance. The dietary triggers you mentioned—cheese, wheat, and certain vegetables—are also Vata-aggravating foods.
​Recommendations ​Ayurvedic treatment aims to balance Vata by introducing its opposing qualities: warmth, moisture, and stability.
​Dietary Modifications ​Avoid cold, dry foods: Limit consumption of salads, raw vegetables, and cold beverages. Instead, favor warm, cooked foods.
​Cook with Vata-pacifying spices: Incorporate spices like ginger, cumin, and asafoetida (hing) into her cooking. These spices are carminative and help to expel gas.
​Limit gas-producing foods: Reduce intake of cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli, as well as legumes like chickpeas and beans. If consumed, they should be well-cooked and spiced.
​Mindful eating: Encourage her to eat in a calm, relaxed environment, chewing her food thoroughly. She should avoid talking or drinking a lot of water while eating.
​Herbal and Home Remedies Cumin-Coriander-Fennel (CCF) Tea: A simple and effective remedy. Boil a teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in water. Strain and have this tea regularly.
Asafoetida (Hing) Paste: A powerful carminative. Mix a pinch of asafoetida powder with warm water to form a paste and apply it around the navel. This can help relieve trapped gas.
Warm Water and Lemon: Drinking a glass of warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon first thing in the morning can stimulate digestion and help with elimination. Lifestyle Changes ​Establish a routine: Vata thrives on routine. Encourage her to eat, sleep, and wake up at consistent times. ​Abdominal Massage: Gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction with warm sesame oil can help move gas through the intestines.
​Yoga and Pranayama: Simple yoga poses like Pawanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) and slow, deep breathing exercises (Pranayama) can be highly beneficial for releasing trapped gas.

Consider focusing on the balance of Vata dosha, often linked with trapped gas and bloating, especially post-surgery or in response to dietary changes. Your daughter’s symptoms might be alleviated by ensuring her digestive fire, or Agni, is strong to aid in processing food efficiently. Reducing Vata-aggravating foods could be beneficial, considering her geographical change may have also influenced her digestion.

Limit intake of cold, raw, processed foods, and prefer warm, cooked meals. Avoid known triggers like cheese, excessive wheat, and difficult-to-digest vegetables; instead, choose those easier on her system, like well-cooked carrots, zucchini, or squash. Incorporating spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel while cooking might help in balancing digestion, creating a calming effect on the stomach.

Drinking warm water or teas infused with ginger or ajwain can stimulate Agni, promote gas release, and alleviate discomfort. Suggest sipping a decoction of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds (1/2 tsp each in hot water) post meals may soothe her digestive system.

Eating on a regular schedule and avoiding late night meals wwill provide digestive rest. Small, frequent meals could prevent discomfort while listening to her body’s hunger cues is essential. Avoid rushing through meals, eat in a calm setting—this ensures better digestion.

Regular physical activity, like light yoga or a walking routine, will also promote digestion and regulate Vata. Stress management, particularly through mindfulness or relaxation techniques, may additionally reduce episodes by maintaining overall digestive harmony.

If symptoms persist, consult healthcare providers to ensure no underlying conditions are being overlooked, as personalized medical advice will be crucial for her recovery.

It appears that your daughter may be experiencing an imbalance related to vata and pitta doshas, which is quite common after surgeries and lifestyle changes, like her move to Delhi. The first step is to gently balance these doshas and rekindle the agni, or digestive fire. You can start by adjusting her diet: focusing on warm, cooked foods rather than raw vegetables can help. Encourage her to have meals that are light and easy to digest, like moong dal khichdi with a bit of ghee. These help soothe the stomach lining and improve digestion.

Spices such as cumin, ajwain (carom seeds), and fennel can be beneficial. She can chew a teaspoon of ajwain mixed with a pinch of salt followed by warm water after meals; this helps in releasing the trapped gas. Another tip is to drink warm ginger tea with a bit of honey, which can enhance digestion and alleviate the discomfort.

Additionally, encourage your daughter to establish a routine of having meals at consistent times. Avoiding processed foods, excessive cheese, and heavy meals late in the evening can prevent these gastric episodes. Regular light exercises like yoga, particularly poses focused on stimulating digestive organs such as Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose), can also support her digestive system.

If symptoms persist or are severe, it may be essential to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions or complications from her previous surgery. Identifying triggers with a food diary might assist in understanding specific food-related issues. Ayurveda’s approach is holistic, ensuring that both body and mind are considered in any treatment plan.
