Stomach pain - #18557

Usually the pain gets worse right after I eat, sometimes even while Im still eating, and it feels kinda like I ate way too much, even if I didnt eat a lot. It gets especially bad after fatty foods or even some fruits like mango, idk why. Sometimes I even get pain when my stomach's empty. Overall my appetite is pretty normal but there are times when I have to stop eating in the middle cuz I suddenly feel really full. My bathroom habits seem normal tho, no constipation or anything like that. But I do get bloated sometimes, mostly if I wait too long between meals. I had an ultrasound last year and everything looked normal, so I haven't really done any other tests after that.

Have you been on any medication earlier or taking anything now for your pain? Also is there a history of other long term illness or long term treatment for some other illness for which you had to take painkillers or antibiotics for a longer duration? Sometimes these medications can disrupt the normal functioning of the digestive system and cause inflammation causing pain.

No, I didn’t take any medications for pain, nor those you wrote about.

Hi Kanika, This looks like a functional imbalance rather than a structural issue, as your ultrasound was normal. But if the pain persists even after following the given treatment plan you can go for an endoscopy after consulting an Gastroenterologist. Your symptoms of pain especially after eating, suggest an imbalance in Pachak Pitta and Apana Vata Dosha, leading to Mandagni (weak digestion) and Amlapitta (hyperacidity). Pain after eating, fullness even with small meals, and discomfort on an empty stomach indicate either excessive or untimely acid secretion and digestive irritation and in severe cases this kind of pathology can culminate in ulcers too. Vata’s dryness worsens acidity, making digestion irregular and sensitive. To restore your GITs function , start your day with 1 tsp A2 cow’s ghee in warm water or10-12 soaked black raisins to be chewed and eaten. Avoid spicy, sour, fermented and processed foods, which inflame Pitta like idli, dosa, pickles, sauces , chilly etc Eat cooling, easy-to-digest meals for few days, like moong dal Khichdi with ghee. Have fruits like pomegranate, apple, bael, lemon etc Maintain regular meal timings, as skipping meals aggravates Vata and causes bloating. Drink CCF tea (1/4 tsp each of cumin, coriander, and fennel boiled in 2 cup water and reduce to 1 cup ) after meals to prevent heaviness. Medications- For relief, take Avipattikar Churna- 1 tsp after dinner, to regulate Pitta and Tab Kamdugdha Ras (2 tablets twice daily with honey after meals) to soothe the stomach lining. Tab Shankha vati , 1 tablet after meals helps in reducing bloating and pain. Also, Apply warm castor oil or asafoetida paste on the navel before meals to ease discomfort and balance Vata. It also helps in releasing trapped gas. Practice Cooling Pranayama- Sheetali Pranayama, Left nostril breathing, daily to calm Pitta and reduce stress-related acidity. If symptoms persist, consider Virechana (purgation therapy) under a qualified Vaidya to cleanse excess Pitta for long term benefits. Let me know your response after following this protocol for 2-3 weeks.

Just pain and heaviness, sometimes bloating after fruits. My stool is normal every day. For breakfast I usually have poha, misal pav, upma or thepla. Lunch is mostly roti or bhakri with dal, vegetables, bhaji, rice and kadhi, sometimes I have fish or seafood. Dinner is similar, but I may add kokum curry, dahi chawal or paneer tikka. I often eat fruits in the evening. I cook myself or my mother. There are no hereditary problems. I was very stressed, but I don’t know how this can be related.

Okay fine so what do you want lifestyle changes or direct medication course? I can give you the both plan

I want all the recommendations that can help me
