Hello Aamir, Do you also experience acidity, nausea, or food intolerance? Any mucus in the stools? Have you noticed specific foods worsening your bloating? Your symptoms suggest weak digestion (Mandagni) and an imbalance of Vata in the intestines, possibly triggered by infection and the use of antibiotics. To balance digestion, take Avipattikar Churna (1 tsp with warm water before meals) to regulate acid levels and improve digestion. Hingvashtak Churna (½ tsp with ghee before meals) can help relieve bloating and gas. Syp Zymnet by Aimil - 2 tsp thrice , half hour before meal. Drink CCF (Jeera-Dhania-Saunf) tea after meals for better digestion. Avoid cold, fermented, and heavy foods. Include warm, light meals like moong dal khichdi. If symptoms persist, mild virechan (Panchakarma) may help.

Namaste, Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Agni (digestive fire) leading to excessive Vata accumulation, possibly due to post-infectious gut disturbance or improper digestion (Ajeerna). Since you have Fatty Liver Grade I, your digestion and metabolism may already be sluggish, which can worsen bloating and gas. Ayurvedic Approach to Relief: 1. Herbal Medicines • Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals to regulate digestion. • Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water • Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food 2. Dietary Modifications • Eat small, light meals; avoid heavy, fried, and spicy foods. • Drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion. • Avoid milk, raw salads, carbonated drinks, and excessive pulses as they increase bloating. • Include buttermilk with a pinch of roasted cumin after meals. • Eat ginger and black pepper in food to enhance digestion. • Consume moong dal khichdi for easy digestion until symptoms subside. 3. Lifestyle Changes • Chew food properly and eat in a calm, stress-free environment. • Do not lie down immediately after eating. • Gentle yoga poses like Pavanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) and Vajrasana (after meals) can help. • Pranayama like Anulom Vilom and Kapalbhati aids digestion and reduces bloating. • Try 5-10 minutes of abdominal massage with warm castor oil at night for gas relief. 4. Duration of Treatment: Relief can be seen within 2-4 weeks with proper dietary and lifestyle changes. If symptoms persist, consider Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (detox therapy) under supervision to cleanse the digestive system.
