Namaste Masood ji,
I appreciate you reaching out and sharing your concerns. Since you have undergone Whipple surgery, your body has adapted to significant digestive changes due to the removal of the gallbladder, part of the pancreas, and duodenum. Your symptoms—bloating, gas, indigestion, post-meal pain, fatigue, and insulin-dependent diabetes—suggest that your digestive Agni (metabolic fire) is weak, and Vata and Pitta imbalances may be causing discomfort.
Before guiding you with an Ayurvedic approach, I’d like to understand a few more details
When was whipple surgery performed??
Do certain foods trigger more bloating and gas than others?
How many meals do you eat per day, and at what times?
Do you experience constipation or loose stools?
How severe is the left rib pain after eating? Is it sharp, dull, or cramping?
Do you feel extreme tiredness after meals, or is it constant throughout the day?
Has your blood sugar been stable with insulin?
Do you experience numbness/tingling in your limbs?
Have you noticed any weight loss or muscle weakness recently?
Looking forward to your response, and we’ll take this step by step for long-term relief.

Hello Mr Masood,
Your symptoms indicate weak digestion due to the removal of part of your pancreas and duodenum, leading to improper digestion of food, bloating, and gas. Have you noticed specific foods worsening your symptoms? How are your blood sugar levels fluctuating with insulin? Ayurveda suggests supporting digestion with Avipattikar Churna (1/2 tsp before meals) and Triphala Churna (1 tsp at bedtime). Taking Jeerakarishta (2 tsp after meals) may also help with bloating and gas. For energy and ED, Ashwagandha Lehyam (1 tsp daily) and Shilajit Rasayana can be beneficial. Apply warm Mahanarayan Taila over your ribs for pain relief. Avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods, and eat small, frequent meals for better digestion. Let me know if your fatigue worsens after insulin or meals.

Having gone through a major surgery like the Whipple procedure can really disrupt the body's natural rhythm, especially the digestive system. It sounds like your digestive fire, or agni, is pretty out of balance now. This isn't unusual given the significant changes in your system. So, let's dig into it...
Firstly, it's super important to assist your digestion since you've lost part of your pancreas, gallbladder, and duodenum - these organs play big roles in digestion. Eating easy-to-digest foods can seriously help. Think about including foods like freshly cooked rice, moong dal (a type of lentil), warm soups, and steamed veggies in your diet. These are light and not too taxing on the digestive system.
About the bloating and gas after meals. Try drinking warm water regularly through the day. It can ease digestion. Also, spices like cumin and fennel can work wonders. You could steep these in hot water and drink it as a tea. Just a small cup in mid-morning or afternoon works!
Considering the weight and tiredness thing, as well as the effect of insulin treatment, maintain steady meal times. This helps the body know what to expect and when. Small, frequent meals rather than larger ones might lend a hand in avoiding that heaviness and fatigue post-eating.
The left-sided rib pain might be related to your digestive issues. But because it's after eating, we can aim to not let food sit idle in your stomach too long. Gentle walks after meals, even just around the living room, can keep things moving.
For the ED part, it's tricky because the meds you're using, while effective, are bringing those headaches on. Balancing this without causing additional issues is key. I wonder if it's the dosage? Maybe chat with your doctor for adjustments.
Keep close tabs on any changes and jot down what seems to make symptoms better or worse. It's about tweaking and adjusting till things feel better. Stay patient with the process. And hey, a periodic consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner could really nail down what fits best for your constitution.
