Gastritis and trapped gas can be extremely uncomfortable, and it’s clear you’ve been working hard to address it through your diet and lifestyle. While your routine has many healthy practices, there may be a few adjustments to improve your digestion and reduce your symptoms. Here’s a comprehensive plan tailored to your situation: Understanding Your Symptoms Gastritis occurs when the stomach lining becomes inflamed, often due to excess acid production, stress, or dietary irritants. Trapped gas, burping, and bloating are common symptoms of gastritis. Stress and anxiety can also worsen this condition by triggering excess acid production and slowing digestion. Key Adjustments to Your Routine Modify Your Diet: Avoid Irritants: Oily, spicy, and processed foods: These can irritate the stomach lining and cause gas and acidity. Caffeine and carbonated drinks: Both increase acid production and worsen gastritis. Citrus fruits (including lemon water): These may worsen gastritis for some people. Switch to lukewarm plain water or jeera (cumin) water at night instead. Incorporate Gentle Foods: Breakfast: Replace raw sprouts (which can cause gas) with steamed sprouts or soaked moong dal. Include well-cooked oatmeal, poha, or idli as easier-to-digest options. Lunch: Keep rice but opt for non-spicy, mildly flavored curries. Add boiled vegetables and avoid raw salads, which may worsen gas. Dinner: Stick to light meals like khichdi, plain roti with mildly spiced dal or sabzi, or vegetable soups. Avoid heavy curries. Snacks: Replace biscuits (processed and sugary) with light snacks like roasted makhana, puffed rice, or bananas (if tolerated). Increase Fiber Gradually: While fiber is important, too much at once (like sprouts or raw salads) can cause gas. Introduce fiber slowly and focus on soluble fiber from foods like oats, bananas, and cooked carrots. Hydration: Increase water intake to 8–10 glasses a day, but sip water throughout the day instead of drinking large amounts at once, as this can dilute stomach acid and slow digestion. Include herbal teas like chamomile, ginger, or ajwain (carom seeds) tea to ease gas and inflammation. Stress Management: Stress can exacerbate gastritis, so prioritize relaxation techniques: Yoga and Pranayama: Continue with yoga, especially poses like Vajrasana (after meals), Balasana, and Pawanmuktasana, which aid digestion. Practice deep breathing exercises or guided meditation to reduce anxiety and promote gut health. Address Hostel Food: When you have to eat oily or spicy hostel food: Eat a small portion and follow it with something soothing, like buttermilk with a pinch of cumin and black salt. Carry simple snacks like bananas, roasted makhana, or digestive biscuits to avoid over-reliance on unhealthy options. Soothing Remedies for Gastritis Fennel (Saunf) Water: Continue drinking fennel water in the morning as it soothes digestion. You can add a pinch of ajwain and ginger for added benefits. Aloe Vera Juice: Take 1 tablespoon of aloe vera juice mixed with water on an empty stomach in the morning to reduce inflammation and acidity. Licorice (Mulethi) Powder: Mix ½ teaspoon of licorice powder with honey and consume it after meals to soothe the stomach lining. Triphala: Take 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water at night to support digestion and regular bowel movements. Coriander (Dhania) Tea: Boil coriander seeds in water, strain, and drink to reduce bloating and gas. Lifestyle Adjustments Chew Slowly: Eat your meals slowly and chew thoroughly to reduce the burden on your stomach. Meal Timings: Avoid long gaps between meals, as an empty stomach can trigger acid production. Aim for small, frequent meals. Posture After Eating: Sit in Vajrasana for 5–10 minutes after meals to support digestion. Avoid lying down immediately. Sleep Position: Sleep on your left side to reduce acid reflux and support digestion. Supplements (Optional) Probiotics: Consider a probiotic supplement to improve gut health and reduce bloating. Yogurt (without added sugar) can also be a natural source. Digestive Enzymes: If your body struggles to break down food, digestive enzyme tablets (consult a doctor first) might help. When to See a Doctor If your symptoms persist despite dietary and lifestyle changes. If you experience severe stomach pain, black stools, or vomiting, as these could indicate a more serious issue like an ulcer. By making these adjustments, you should notice an improvement in your digestion and a reduction in gas, bloating, and burning pain. Be patient, as it can take a few weeks for the stomach lining to heal fully. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Hey, firstly it sounds like you're dealing with quite a bit, and it makes sense you'd be feeling anxious. Let's dive into it with a bit of Ayurveda perspective. So, your routine seems healthy but we might need to tweak a few things to help with the gastritis you're experiencing. For gas related issues, Ayurveda looks at Agni, or your digestive fire. When it's weak or imbalanced, it can lead to buildup of ama, which are toxins causing your symptoms. It seems like Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances might be at play, especially with the anxiety and burning sensations. You've got fennel seeds water in the morning, that's excellent. Try drinking it throughout the day, warm not cold, cuz it can help soothe your stomach. Maybe swap out the sprouts, they’re pretty difficult to digest and might not be helping the gas situation. Go for something like a simple moong dal khichdi, it's lighter on the stomach and nurturing. Let's add cumin seed water before meals, about 20 minutes in advance, to agni-boost - that'll aid digestion. Also, consider sipping on some ginger tea throughout the day. For lunch, apart from rice & curry, makesure the curry isn't too spicy or oily. Stick to cooling spices, like coriander and turmeric. Evening time, trade those biscuits for roasted chana or light fruits like papaya which are easier to digest. Try cooking your fruits a bit, helps with digestion. About the rotis at night, maybe just stick to one and make it with a little ghee. Avoid heavy or oily hostel foods when you can, but balance is key – don't stress too much if you can’t always control it. Finish your day with warm milk with a pinch of turmeric, instead of the lemon in water which can aggravate Pitta. Breathing exercises or pranayama can significantly aid in soothing anxiety and balancing Vata. Try techniques like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) in the morning or before bed, gently does it. Make sure to hydrate well, but not too much at meals. Remember, these are lifestyle modifications, and they take some time to work. Patterns develop over weeks, not hours, so give it a little while. You’ve got this!
