Why Do I Keep Getting Unexplained Abdominal Pain Even When My Tests Are Normal? - #14852

Unexplained abdominal pain can be really annoying, especially when all tests show nothing’s wrong. In Ayurveda, we often look beyond just the physical symptoms to get what's happenin' inside. Your case sounds like it might be linked to an imbalance in your doshas, potentially caused by variations in your agni (digestive fire) or even stress levels. It’s not uncommon for emotional or lifestyle factors to mess with your digestion more than we realize. First thing's first: let's talk about doshas. The symptoms you shared hint at an imbalance in possibly both Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata governs movement and flow in the body, and irregular pains hitting diff parts of your abdomen is something usually tied to Vata. Add to that, feelings of bloating and nausea connects to Pitta and your digestion might be under a bit of strain from there too. It’s great you’re thinking diet — playing with foods that pacify both doshas can offer relief. Favor cooked veggies, sprouted mung beans (a wonderful spot-on choice for cleansing), and drink ginger tea to boost your agni. Dousing meals with mild warming spices — cumin, coriander, and fennel — can help stabilize your digestion and calm Vata. Dinners should be light; lend 3-4 hours before you hit the bed to aid digestion. Stress plays a funny game on our stomachs too, who knew, right? Consider introducing daily practices like meditation or pranayama – Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) specifically great for balancing Vata and soothing the mind. Regularity and gentleness are key here, don't stress tryin' to perfect. As for cleansing, a gentle Ayurvedic detox can be beneficial. A short kitchari cleanse (just plain rice and mung dal) for maybe about three days can give your digestive system a much needed break. Watch keenly on how your body reacts as every prakriti (constitution) will adapt differently. Remember herbal remedies might need a lil deeper evaluation. Herbs like Triphala can support digestion and elimination, but usage must align with your unique balance — consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner nearby might tailor the specific choicest approach for you. Hope this helps to navigate this mystery pain, so you can find balance and live without it overshadowing your life.
