In Ayurveda, your symptoms suggest an imbalance in pitta and vata doshas, affecting digestion, metabolism, and skin health. To address H. pylori, stomach burn, and incomplete evacuation, focus on calming pitta and improving agni (digestive fire) with soothing and anti-inflammatory foods. Herbal remedies such as Triphala, Guduchi, and licorice root can help balance stomach acid, soothe the digestive lining, and improve bowel movements. For bloating, belching, and gas, digestive spices like cumin, fennel, and coriander can help reduce vata and ease bloating. Since you are experiencing difficulty digesting fats, try consuming small amounts of healthy fats like ghee or coconut oil, which are easier to digest. To support candida overgrowth, include antifungal herbs like turmeric, neem, and oregano, and avoid sugar and refined carbs, as they can feed yeast. Your diet should emphasize light, easily digestible foods, such as soups, stews, and steamed vegetables, with moderate protein and low-carb options. Focus on stress management and a consistent routine, as stress can exacerbate IBS and digestive issues.

Balancing your diet and lifestyle when dealing with issues like low stomach acid, weak digestion, and the other symptoms you've mentioned, can be quite tricky but certainly manageable with some Ayurvedic guidance. Let's dive in:
Firstly, for the low stomach acid, you'd want to gently enhance your digestive fire or "agni". In Ayurveda, agni is key to overall health, especially digestion. Try sipping warm water with a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of black salt before meals. This can stimulate digestion without overwhelming it. But be cautious, citrus might aggravate pitta. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
Now when it comes to non-veg, lean towards easily digestible options like tender chicken or fish. Avoid red meat or anything overly heavy until your digestion improves. Cooking meat with ginger, cumin, and coriander can help make it more digestible. Small quantities with plenty of cooked veggies would be ideal.
As you're dealing with both candida overgrowth and low carbs, a watchful balance is needed. Coconut oil can be helpful as it's anti-fungal and light enough for digestion. A spoonful in your meals can do wonders. Remember though, it's all about moderation and observation about how your body reacts.
Since weight loss and gassy issues are concerning you, focus on eating small, frequent meals instead of three large ones. It'll be less strain on your digestive system. Include cooked leafy greens, zucchini, or well-cooked grains that are easy on the stomach. Avoid any foods that are too cold or too heavy as they'd dampen your agni further.
Alongside diet adjustments, consider incorporating lifestyle changes. Daily self-massage with warm sesame or coconut oil can help soothe pitta. Also, incorporate yoga or gentle walks to aid digestion and relieve stress.
Lastly, don’t ignore persistent or serious symptoms. While these Ayurvedic adjustments can help, ensuring you're also consulting with a healthcare provider for integrated care is very wise.
