First off, it’s tough dealing wih such uncomfortable symptoms for so long, and I really feel for ya. Gastritis can seriously mess with quality of life. Alopathy sometimes just doesn’t cut it, but Ayurveda offers some avenues worth exploring.
So, sounds like you might have an imbalance in Pitta and maybe Vata doshas, given the burning and gas. Let’s see some pointers. First thing - diet. Try focusing on cooling foods. Avoid spicy, fried or hot stuff like chillies, tomatoes or citrus (yeah, they tend to inflame Pitta more). Instead, favor cooling, sattvic foods - think cucumbers, sweet fruits without youghurt (yoghurt can irritate, better skip). For grains, favor basmati rice or quinoa.
Sip on cumin or coriander tea throughout the day. It can soothe your digestive system, helping settle down Pitta and encourage lighter digestion. Basically, boil a teaspoon of cumin seeds or coriander seeds in around 2 cups of water and drink it warm or room temp.
Ayurveda loves routine, so aim to eat meals at the same time every day if possible. This helps regulate your digestive fire or ‘agn’. Small, frequent meals might be easier on your system right now, than big ones.
Stress management matters too. Deep breathing or pranayama in the morning - maybe 5-10 mins, helps balance Vata and calm the mind. You can also fit a little yoga in. Poses like Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) are not just funny named, they can help release the trapped gas.
Finally, try a high-quality Triphala supplement at bedtime might help regularize bowel movements and reduce gas. Just stay patient, right? Changes might take a little while, but Ayurveda is all about steady, sustainable shifts.
In case any symptom worsens, though, persisting pain specially - don’t hesitate to get medical attention right away. Ayurveda can be an excellent complimentary approach but listens to your body above all.
