Stomach ache - #119
Sunny Parker
I had digestive problems: bloating and discomfort after eating. I have excluded dairy products and gluten, but the symptoms have not disappeared. I tried different diets, but nothing helped. Maybe someone knows which examinations are worth undergoing or which treatment methods can help?

Dear Sunny,
Bloating & discomfort after eating could be due to Vata aggravation according to Ayurveda. There could be multiple reasons for this including poor digestion (weak Agni). It can also be caused by factors like food intolerances, or excessive gas production . Here are possible reasons and solutions:
Common Causes:
Overeating: Large meals can stretch the stomach, causing discomfort. Have smaller meals only when hungry. Don’t drink too much water after eating.
Food Intolerances: Lactose, gluten, and FODMAPs can trigger bloating. Avoiding these groups can help.
Gas-Producing Foods: Beans, cruciferous vegetables, and carbonated drinks can increase gas. Avoid them completely.
Swallowing Air: Eating too fast or drinking through a straw can introduce extra air.
Imbalanced Gut Bacteria: An overgrowth of bacteria can lead to fermentation and bloating.
Solutions:
Eat Smaller Portions: Smaller, more frequent meals are easier to digest.
Chew Slowly: Eating mindfully reduces air intake and aids digestion.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Identify and reduce foods that cause bloating (e.g., dairy, beans, carbonated drinks).
Probiotics: Rebalancing gut bacteria can improve digestion. You can have natural probiotic supplements like buttermilk after meals added with some spices.
Ginger, CCF tea or Peppermint Tea: These natural remedies help relieve gas and bloating. Have them twice a day after meals preferably.
If the bloating persists, consider getting tested for H pylori, food intolerances, SIBO, or other digestive conditions. You can also get an endoscopy done to find out of any abnormalities in the upper GIT.

o address your persistent digestive problems such as bloating and discomfort after eating, Ayurveda offers several effective remedies. Start by adopting a Pitta-pacifying diet, focusing on warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, such as khichdi, soups, and steamed vegetables, while avoiding raw foods and excessive spices that may irritate your digestive system. Incorporate Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation that promotes digestion and detoxification, taken daily to help regulate bowel movements and support overall gut health. Drinking Ginger tea can also be beneficial, as ginger helps reduce bloating and enhances digestive function. Additionally, consuming Ajwain (carom seeds) and Fennel seeds after meals can alleviate gas and bloating. Regular scalp massages with Brahmi oil or Neem oil can help improve circulation to the digestive organs. If accessible, consider undergoing Panchakarma treatments, specifically Virechana (therapeutic purgation) and Basti (medicated enemas), which can help detoxify the body and restore digestive balance. Adopting these Ayurvedic remedies may significantly improve your digestive health and alleviate discomfort.

Digestive issues like bloating and discomfort can be quite a nuisance, can't they? Let's dive into it from an Ayurvedic point of view. First off, your symptoms might suggest an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Vata governs movement and dry qualities in the body, and when it's off, digestion can go haywire, leading to bloating.
You've already removed dairy and gluten, which is a good start if those are problematic for you. However, Ayurveda suggests looking at the whole picture, including your diet, lifestyle, and daily routine. The idea is to boost your *agni* (digestive fire) 'cause a weak agni is often the culprit behind digestive woes.
Consider starting with a simple practice—sipping warm ginger tea throughout the day. Just slice fresh ginger, steep it in hot water, and sip it slowly. It can help stimulate digestion and reduce bloating. Another thing, eating meals at consistent times each day can help reset a balanced rhythm in your body. Keep meals warm and light for easy digestion, avoiding cold, raw foods, as they are harder to digest according to Ayurveda.
You might also benefit from a gentle detox like a short kitchari cleanse—kitchari is a dish made of mung dal and rice, easy on your stomach, allowing your digestive system a bit of a break and reset.
In terms of examinations, perhaps a breath test for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) could be considered. SIBO can often cause bloating and discomfort. Checking for food intolerances with a qualified professional might be worth it too, beyond just gluten and dairy.
Lastly, try some light abdominal self-massage with warm sesame oil before your shower, using circular motions for about 10-15 minutes. Sounds odd but trust me, it can be soothing and supportive.
If symptoms persist, it's a good reason to consult with a healthcare professional, they can assess any underlying conditions. Stay patient, it can take some time to find balance again!
