HI,

FOR GERD- 1. Manage your weight- While heartburn can happen to anyone, GERD seems to be most prevalent in adults who are overweight or obese.

Excess weight — especially in the abdominal area — puts more pressure on the stomach. As a result, you’re at an increased risk of stomach acids working back into the esophagus and causing heartburn.

2) FOODS AND DRINKS TO AVOID- There are certain known trigger foods and drinks that can increase your risk for acid reflux. With GERD, you should be especially wary of items that can lead to symptoms. Try avoiding the following foods and beverages:

tomato sauce and other tomato-based products high fat foods, such as fast food products and greasy foods fried foods citrus fruit juices soda caffeine chocolate garlic onions mint alcohol

3)Eat a little, sit up a little longer

Eating smaller meals puts less pressure on the stomach, which can prevent the backflow of stomach acids. By eating smaller amounts of food more frequently, you can reduce heartburn and eat fewer calories overall.

4) After each meal, you may even consider chewing non-mint gum. This can help increase saliva and keep acid out of the esophagus. EITHER eat saunf and gulkand after meal 1 tsf

5) Avoid tight clothing You should feel free to wear what you want — though tight clothing may worsen GERD symptoms.

Wearing clothes that are too tight can increase acid reflux episodes. This is especially the case with tight bottoms and belts: Both place unnecessary pressure on the abdomen, thereby contributing to heartburn risk. If you notice heartburn symptoms, try incorporating looser clothing into your wardrobe.

6) YOGA AND PRANAYAM- GERD itself can be very stressful. try quiet meditation and deep breathing for a few minutes several times a day to tame your stress levels.

FOR H.PYLORI- 1) Green tea Animal research suggests that antioxidants in green tea, called catechins, may help reduce peptic ulcers caused by H. pylori.

2)Honey Honey has been found to have antibacterial abilities against H. pylori.

3)Olive oil Olive oil is effective in reducing the growth of H. pylori and may help prevent the infection. It is a healthy choice for cooking and salad dressings.

4)Licorice root Licorice root may also help prevent H. pylori from sticking to cell walls and promote ulcer healing.

5) Broccoli sprouts daily consumption of broccoli sprouts reduced H. pylori colonization and gastric inflammation, with some cases resulting in complete eradication of the bacteria.

6) Curcumin Curcumin is an active ingredient found in turmeric, a spice. curcumin reduced inflammation and prevented H. pylori from entering and damaging gastric cells.

🌿 Herbal Support - Shatavari Churna: 1 tsp with warm water twice daily (soothes Pitta, heals ulcers) - Yashtimadhu (Licorice) powder: ½ tsp with honey or warm water before meals (anti-inflammatory, protects mucosa) - Avipattikar Churna: 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (balances Pitta, relieves acidity) - Kutajghan Vati: 1 tablet twice daily (for H. pylori-related diarrhea or gut inflammation) - Triphala: 1 tsp at night with warm water (gentle detox, supports gut flora) Always start with small doses and observe your body’s response. Consult a practitioner if symptoms persist.

🥦 Fruits & Vegetables: What to Eat vs Avoid ✅ Favor These (Alkaline, soothing, gut-friendly) - Fruits: Ripe papaya, pomegranate, banana (room temp), apple (steamed), pear - Vegetables: Bottle gourd, ash gourd, carrot, beetroot, pumpkin, spinach (well-cooked), sweet potato - Others: Coconut water, soaked almonds, fennel seeds, cumin, coriander

❌ Avoid These (Pitta/Kapha aggravating) - Citrus fruits (orange, lemon), tomatoes, raw onion, garlic - Spicy, fried, fermented foods - Cold milk, curd, cheese, processed snacks - Carbonated drinks, caffeine, chocolate

🌸 Lifestyle Tips - Eat early dinners (before 7:30 PM) - Sit upright after meals, avoid lying down - Practice Sheetali Pranayama and Vajrasana post meals - Sip warm water throughout the day - Avoid stress and screen time during meals

For GERD and H. pylori, some effective home remedies can help manage symptoms but are not a substitute for professional medical advice. First, let’s discuss GERD. Ayurveda suggests balancing the pitta dosha, which might be aggravated in this condition. Start by incorporating cumin, coriander, and fennel in your diet. Prepare an infusion with these herbs and drink after meals to help with digestion and reduce acidity.

In the case of H. pylori, diet plays a crucial role. Include cooling and soothing foods that support a balanced digestive fire. Eat more natural probiotics like fresh, unsweetened yogurt or lassi; these can support gut health by introducing beneficial bacteria. Consuming a spoonful of raw honey daily may also have mild antibacterial effects that can complement your treatment.

As for fruits, bananas, papayas, and watermelons are good choices due to their alkaline nature, helping to reduce acidity. But opt for ripe and non-tart fruits. Vegetables like bitter melon, bottle gourd, carrots, and sweet potatoes are beneficial. These can help soothe the digestive tract and minimize inflammation.

Foods to avoid would be heavily spiced, greasy, and processed items. Stay away from citrus fruits and tomatoes, which may worsen acid reflux. Additionally, caffeine and alcohol should also be limited or eliminated as they can aggravate GERD symptoms.

Regarding recipes, simple Indian vegetarian meals can be adapted to support digestive health. Khichdi made from rice and mung dal with minimal spices is soothing and nourishing. A vegetable stew with turmeric, ginger, and minimal chili can be gentle and healing. Moderation is key; eat small, frequent meals and avoid lying down immediately afterwards. Stay hydrated, but avoid drinking too much water with meals.

Remember, while these remedies may alleviate symptoms, they are not a replacement for medical treatment, and seeing a healthcare professional is crucial, especially for H. pylori.

Avipattikara churna 1 tsp after food with warm water Avoid spicy sour nonveg fermented foods

When dealing with GERD and H. pylori, combining traditional Siddha-Ayurvedic practices with dietary adjustments can be beneficial. The primary focus is on balancing pitta dosha and soothing the digestive system to ease GERD symptoms and manage H. pylori infection.

Firstly, consider having a few drops of cooled coriander seed tea. To make this, boil one teaspoon of coriander seeds in water, let it cool, and consume it once daily. This helps in reducing acidity, a common issue in GERD, and cooling down excess pitta.

Simple lifestyle measures like maintaining an upright posture for at least 2 hours after meals and eating smaller, more frequent meals can also help reduce stomach acid levels.

In terms of diet, prioritize consuming fruits like ripe bananas and papayas, as they are gentle on the stomach. Cooked vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, and broccoli are also beneficial. Avoid citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, and pineapples, as well as tomatoes and spicy foods, which may aggravate your condition. Garlic and onions, though beneficial, might need moderation or avoidance in your case because they can sometimes irritate the stomach.

For Indian vegetarian recipes, consider making simple dishes like moong dal khichdi, which is both easy to digest and nourishing. Use minimal spices and avoid hot spices like red chili and black pepper. Instead, season with turmeric and a touch of cumin, which aids digestion.

It’s vital to remember that persistent symptoms or significant discomfort may require professional medical attention. If you notice any serious symptoms, like vomiting blood or severe chest pain, consult a healthcare provider promptly.
