Why Do I Keep Getting Diarrhea Even When I Eat Simple Foods? - #15135

Thank you for sharing your concerns. In Ayurveda, chronic diarrhea is often linked to an imbalance in Vata or Pitta dosha. If you’re experiencing watery stools with bloating and cramping, this could indicate a Vata imbalance, while burning or sour stools may suggest excess Pitta. To strengthen digestion, start by eating light, easy-to-digest meals like rice, moong dal khichdi, and cooked vegetables. Avoid raw or cold foods, caffeine, spicy dishes, and greasy or processed meals, which can aggravate the condition. You may also benefit from sipping warm water or ginger tea throughout the day to soothe the digestive tract. Specific Ayurvedic remedies can help. Bilva (Bael fruit) is known to balance both Vata and Pitta and reduce diarrhea. Pomegranate juice or powder can also help strengthen digestion. If bloating persists, consider taking hing (asafoetida) mixed with warm water, as it’s excellent for relieving gas and cramping. Establishing regular mealtimes and reducing stress is essential, as stress can disrupt digestion. If symptoms continue or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or Ayurvedic practitioner for a more personalized treatment plan.
