Your symptoms, including gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anxiety, poor sleep, low energy, chills, feverish sensations, and headaches, may indicate digestive imbalances and stress. In Ayurveda, these issues are often linked to imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas, which affect digestion and emotional well-being. Ayurvedic remedies can help restore balance. Triphala is excellent for regulating digestion, while Kutaj helps control diarrhea. Ajwain can relieve gas and bloating, and Ginger soothes abdominal discomfort. For anxiety and stress, Ashwagandha and Brahmi are calming, while Jatamansi helps improve sleep. To boost energy and vitality, consider Shatavari and Ashwagandha. For headaches, Brahmi, Jatamansi, and Peppermint oil are beneficial. Adopting a Vata-Pitta balancing diet, incorporating regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with Sesame or Brahmi oil, and practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) can further support your healing. Additionally, a consistent sleep routine, reduced stress, and hydration are key. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized care and dosage is advisable.

Sounds like you're going through quite a bit there. IBS-D, with all its mischief, is a really tricky one but as per Ayurveda, it's heavily tied to our digestive fire or Agni and imbalances in doshas, primarily, the Vata and Pitta doshas. Managing these can bring some relief.
First off, diet – it's gotta be simple, no complications. Eat light, easily digestible foods like khichdi (rice and lentil dish). Maybe cook it with cumin, ginger, and a pinch of asafoetida. These spices can help soothe your gut and calm that fiery Pitta. Cut down on raw veggies; they can be hard to digest. Cook everything properly.
Hydration is key. Sipping warm water throughout the day can help, perhaps with a few coriander seeds steeped in it. It's calming and should ease some of that bloating. Definitely skip the ice-cold drinks, they mess with the digestive fire big time.
You mentioned sleeplessness and anxiety. Ashwagandha can be a lifesaver here – it’s great for the nerves. Maybe consider a relaxing cup of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg before bed to soothe your mind. Also, pranayama (breathing exercises) might just become your best friend – they’re a great way to calm the mind and bring balance.
For the feverish feelings and headaches, a paste of sandalwood applied on the forehead can cool you down. But if the fever persists, you should see your doc, don't wait around.
Remember, sunlight exposure in the morning for about 10-15 minutes is helpful – it regulates your circadian rhythm, boosting overall energy. Try not to eat heavy meals after sunset, it burdens the Agni when it’s naturally weaker.
If the symptoms get worse, or don’t ease up, do go see a healthcare professional. Just keep it balanced, and take good care of that Agni – it’s the key to unraveling a lot that's going on here.
