IBS - #17016
For the last few years, I’ve had constant stomach issues that just won’t go away. Some days I have diarrhea, then suddenly, I get constipated for a few days. There’s also bloating, and my stomach makes these weird noises, especially after meals. I thought it was something I ate, but it happens even when I stick to simple foods. A few months ago, I finally went to a doctor, and they told me it could be IBS. Since then, I’ve been trying different things—avoiding spicy food, cutting down on dairy, and even drinking more water, but nothing seems to make a real difference. Stress seems to make it worse, especially during work deadlines. I also noticed that my stomach gets uneasy when I eat outside food, even something as basic as rice and dal. Could my gut be overly sensitive because of IBS? I read that Ayurveda focuses on digestion and gut health. Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments for IBS that could actually bring lasting relief? Some people suggested taking triphala or ashwagandha, but I’m not sure how these help with IBS. Would a specific Ayurvedic diet help regulate my digestion? Also, I’ve noticed that my mood is affected by IBS. Some days, I feel irritated or anxious when my stomach acts up. Can Ayurveda help with the mind-body connection in IBS? Is there a way to calm my gut through yoga or herbs? I don’t want to keep taking random medicines forever. What natural methods or Ayurvedic approaches can help control IBS symptoms in the long run? Are there foods that I should completely avoid, even if they seem harmless? Would a panchakarma treatment be helpful for someone with IBS?
