Given your chronic gastritis and persistent gas, Ayurvedic remedies can offer a more holistic approach to healing. To begin, eating smaller, more frequent meals is essential to reduce the burden on your digestive system. Focus on soothing, easy-to-digest foods like kichari (a blend of rice and lentils), cooked vegetables, and warm broths to support digestion without aggravating inflammation. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods, as well as caffeine and carbonated beverages, which can irritate the stomach lining. In Ayurveda, triphala (a blend of three fruits) is a gentle detoxifier that can help with digestion and eliminate excess gas. Ginger is known for its digestive properties, so sipping warm ginger tea with a pinch of black pepper can aid in reducing bloating and improving digestion. Fennel seeds also help to relieve gas and bloating, so chew a teaspoon after meals. To soothe the stomach lining and reduce inflammation, slippery elm or aloe vera juice are excellent options. A gentle abdominal massage with sesame oil in a clockwise direction can help relieve trapped gas and promote digestion. Since stress can exacerbate your symptoms, Ayurvedic practices like pranayama (breathing exercises) or meditation can help calm the mind and balance your digestive fire (Agni). Additionally, incorporating probiotics through yogurt or lassi (a probiotic yogurt drink) can help restore balance to the gut. By integrating these Ayurvedic principles, you can not only address the symptoms but also promote long-term digestive health and overall well-being.

Ah, chronic gastritis with chest tightness from gas? Not fun, I get it. Let's see how Ayurveda can lend a hand. Your symptoms seem to be derived from an imbalance of Pitta dosha, possible bit of Vata too - classic fiery, digestive issues. First thing's first, try to cool things off!
1. **Diet Adjustments:** Focus on cooling foods - think coconut water, cucumber, and buttermilk. Remmeber to avoid spicy, oily, fried stuff as they're Pitta lovers. You could also try eating small, frequent meals instead of three large ones; helps the agni (digestive fire) stay regulated without overloading.
2. **Herbal Helpers:** Drink a concoction of cooled cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds tea. Just a teaspoon of each, boiled in water, then cooled. This can soothe the digestive tract and alleviate that gassy feel. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is another winner - its cooling properties can be beneficial for gastritis.
3. **Lifestyle Tweaks:** Make sure to chew food thoroughly and eat in a calm environment, slow down a bit. Give it a shot to sit upright after eating rather than reclining - helps digestion and reduces chest discomfort.
4. **Timing is Key:** Consider light walking post meals, nothing strenuous, just 5-10 mins. It aids digestion and can help relieve the pressure you're feeling in your chest.
5. **Gentle Ayurvedic Oils:** Abhyanga with lukewarm sesame oil or mind dosha-specific oils might help. Apply gently on abdomen and chest in circular motions; enhance relaxation and might help with discomfort.
6. **Mindful Awareness:** Stress and anxiety can inflame gastritis. Pranayama, like cooling breath (Sheetali), could be calming for Pitta.
If things don’t ease, though, please do consult an Ayurvedic practioneer in person or your regular physician for a more specific plan. Your comfort and safety's top concern here!
