Don’t worry take chitrakadi vati 1tab bd, Pancharista 20ml bd, swadista virechana churnam 1tsp with lukewarm water enough
1.Diet Adjustments Eat cooked, warm foods: soups, stews, khichdi, well-cooked vegetables.
Include white rice, oats, and ripe bananas — they bind stool.
Add 1–2 tsp ghee or olive oil daily for gut lining support.
Include fermented foods: yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut (small portions).
Avoid (for now):
Cold/raw salads and smoothies
Excess fiber powders, raw bran, or beans
Spicy foods, coffee, and alcohol
Dairy (temporarily) if stools worsen after consumption
💊 2. Helpful Supplements
Probiotics: Restore good bacteria (look for Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains).
Digestive Enzymes: Take one capsule with meals (especially if you eat dairy again).
Psyllium husk (Isabgol): 1 tsp in warm water at night – helps regulate and solidify stool.
Zinc and Vitamin B12: Commonly low in vegetarians, leading to gut imbalance.
🪷 3. Ayurvedic & Herbal Aids
If you prefer gentle Ayurvedic support:
Kutaj ghan vati (Holarrhena antidysenterica) – 1 tab twice daily after meals (balances loose stool)
Bilva powder or Bilvavaleha – binds stool and soothes intestines
Takra (buttermilk) with roasted cumin and rock salt – great post-lunch digestive drink
Triphala churna (only if mild constipation later develops — avoid during loose stools phase)
🧘♂️ 4. Lifestyle
Eat at regular times — don’t skip or overeat.
Drink warm water, not cold.
Avoid eating late at night.
Gentle yoga for digestion: Pavanmuktasana, Vajrasana, Apanasana (after meals).

Loose and unformed bowel movements might signal a few imbalances in your body. Since you switched from a vegan to a vegetarian diet, it’s possible that you’re experiencing a change in your digestion due to new or increased dairy consumption or other food items. In Ayurveda, such symptoms can often be associated with an imbalance in the Vata dosha or a reduction in the digestive fire, known as ‘Agni’.
To begin, review your current diet. Since you are now including dairy, ensure it is digested well, opting for easily digestible forms like warm milk, or yogurt, and maybe even homemade paneer. Try to consume these in moderation, preferably at midday when your digestive power is stronger. Avoid taking dairy in the evening as it can be heavy to digest. Eating meals at regular intervals helps maintain a balanced Agni, aiding proper digestion and absorption.
Incorporate freshly grated ginger and a pinch of salt with a squeeze of lime before meals to stimulate digestion. This simple remedy can help in enhancing the digestive fire, allowing better assimilation of nutrients. You should also consider drinking warm water or herbal teas throughout the day to encourage better digestion. Cumin, coriander, and fennel seed tea can be particularly beneficial.
Pay attention to the nature of the foods you’re consuming. Favor warm, cooked meals over raw foods, which can be harder for some to digest, especially in cooler seasons. Lentil soup with spices like turmeric, cumin, and asafoetida can be soothing and balancing.
Limit your intake of raw salads or excess fruit, especially cold items from the fridge, which can exacerbate Vata imbalance. Instead, incorporate more grounding foods such as cooked grains or root vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots.
If these changes don’t help or symptoms persist, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional. Supplementary recommendations or further investigations may be necessary to address any underlying issues more comprehensively.
