Namaste Satyapriya ji,
After completing TB colitis treatment, it is common for the digestive system to remain sensitive, leading to frequent bowel movements. This is often due to an imbalance in Agni (digestive fire) and the lingering effects of Vata and Pitta disturbances. To help regulate your digestion, I recommend starting with a simple diet of moong dal khichdi, buttermilk (takra) with roasted cumin, and steamed vegetables to soothe the colon. Avoid heavy, raw, or processed foods, as well as cold drinks and dairy (except buttermilk).
Incorporate binding foods like ripe bananas, pomegranate seeds, and boiled apples, which can help with stool consistency. For herbal support, Bilva (Bael fruit) powder (1 tsp with water) and Kutaj churna (½ tsp twice daily with buttermilk) are excellent remedies for regulating bowel movements and reducing inflammation in the colon.
Sipping cumin or fennel tea throughout the day will also aid digestion and calm the gut. Additionally, practice Anulom Vilom pranayama and light yoga to manage any stress or overthinking, as this can worsen digestive issues.
If symptoms persist, please consult an Ayurvedic physician for further guidance. Wishing you a smooth recovery and balanced health.

Frequent bowel movements after completing TB colitis treatment may indicate an aggravated pitta and vata imbalance in the digestive system, leading to increased gut sensitivity and irregular bowel habits. To restore balance, follow a light and easily digestible diet—consume well-cooked rice, moong dal, buttermilk, and ripe bananas. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods that can further irritate the intestines. Ayurvedic herbs like Bilva (Bael) churna, Kutajarishta, and Pippali can help strengthen digestion and regulate bowel movements. Drinking warm jeera (cumin) or fennel tea can also soothe the gut. Managing stress through meditation and yoga is important, as excess worry can further disrupt digestion. If symptoms persist, consulting an Ayurvedic doctor for a tailored approach is recommended.

So, you're dealing with frequent bowel movement after finishing TB colitis treatment? Sounds like your digestion is a bit unhappy right now. In Ayurveda, post-illness, the agni – your digestive fire – can get a bit thrown off balance, which could lead to excessive bowel activity.
First thing, you might wanna try some dietary adjustments. Since your bowel movements increased, incorporating foods that are easily digestable and calm the digestive system could help. Think simple: boiled rice with a little ghee and cumin. Cumin's great because it's warming and helps balance your agni.
Avoid things like raw veggies or too much fiber; they can... you know... speed things up even more. Stick to cooked veggies like carrots or squash, and spices like ajwain or hing (asafoetida) that support digestion too.
Hydration is key, but sip warm water instead of cold. Cold liquids can dampen your digestive fire, and right now you wanna keep it in good shape. You could add a pinch of ginger or lemon to your water - that’s always a safe bet.
After meals, chew on some fennel seeds. They’re known to ease digestion and are very soothing. But don’t go overboard – a small pinch is plenty.
Stress and anxiety, can fuel digestive issues, too, so practicing some calming activities is a good idea. Breathing exercises, like pranayama, or gentle yoga postures, should help. Taking a little time for yourself, finding something pleasant to do each day, can also balance what we call "Vata" – it's part of calming the chaos.
If digestion still feels off even after trying this, it'd be wise to consult a healthcare professional. Ayurveda's really helpful, but combining it with medical insights ensures you're on the right track and that nothing else is out of place.
So maybe give this a go, see if it calms things down for you. Keep an eye on the symptoms and how your body reacts to these changes!
