Sounds like you’re dealing with H. pylori and, ugh, it’s such a persistent lil bugger. The throat irritation could be related, even without heartburn, as HP can trigger digestive imbalances, y’know? In Ayurveda, we often think about how our digestive fire, or “agni,” plays a role in health like this.
First off, let’s focus on balancing your agni and soothing that throat. You might wanna try starting your day with a warm glass of water mixed with a tsp of raw honey (not boiled honey though) and a pinch of turmeric. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory props and can help with ulcers.
Diet-wise, light, warm, and easily digestible meals are key. Think khichdi with added ginger and ajwain, which helps improve digestion. Considering your tendency for evening discomfort, make sure to avoid anything too spicy, oily or heavy, especially close to bedtime.
You might enjoy sipping on some licorice tea after meals. It’s cooling and soothing for the throat, aiding in healing ulcers. But watch out, if you have blood pressure issues, licorice isn’t ideal.
Lifestyle changes can also help. Try not laying down immediately after eating, and maybe adjusting your sleep position, with your head elevated a bit might help prevent discomfort.
Triphala, taken at bedtime, could be beneficial. It aids in digestion and supports detoxification - just half a tsp in warm water.
Yoga practices like Suryanamaskar can enhance digestion, but always on an empty stomach. Deep breathing exercises, or pranayama like Anulom Vilom, can also promote gut health and reduce stress, which sometimes aggravates symptoms.
If things don’t settle or get worse, perhaps consulting an Ayurvedic physician in person could tailor these suggestions better. They might recommend specific herbs like Amalaki or Yashtimadhu, tailored to your dosha balance.
Remember to keep hydrated, but not too much water with meals, and maintain a stress-free routine when you can!
