To better understand your post-cancer digestive issues, I need some additional details. What does your daily diet consist of? Do your symptoms worsen after consuming spicy, oily, or dairy foods? How much water do you drink daily, and do you feel dehydrated? Do you experience bloating along with pain or cramps? Are you physically active, and do you engage in regular walking or exercise? After your ileostomy reversal, have you noticed specific foods or situations that trigger your symptoms? Have any recent blood tests or colonoscopy reports shown inflammation or narrowing in the colon? Regarding clustering, do you pass small amounts of stool multiple times, or do you feel incomplete evacuation?
For home remedies, try starting your day with a glass of warm water mixed with a teaspoon of ghee to lubricate the intestines and ease stool passage. Consume light, easy-to-digest meals like khichdi (rice and moong dal porridge) with a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) and hing (asafoetida) to reduce gas. Avoid processed, fried, and spicy foods, as they can worsen irritation. Soaked raisins and figs in the morning can help soften stools. Triphala churna (1 teaspoon) at bedtime with warm water can aid digestion and bowel movement. Drinking jeera (cumin) or fennel tea after meals can also reduce bloating and discomfort. Gentle abdominal massage with warm castor oil may help relieve obstruction. Light physical activity, such as walking for 15-20 minutes after meals, can improve digestion.

Lower Anterior Resection Syndrome can be tough, and the combination of constipation, obstruction, and gas could be really effecting your day. So, with Ayurveda, we always start by understanding the person’s dosha balance. Here, after surgery, there’s likely an imbalance in Vata, which governs movement and elimination.
First, let’s try to soothe that Vata. Think of your diet, going for warm, cooked foods. Avoid anything too raw, cold, or overly spicy — they’re often irritating to the colon. When cooking, try adding ghee, a soothing fat that’s good for digestion. Simple spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel can help manage gas.
Herbal teas and decoctions work wonders too, you know. Sip a mild tea with ajwain and a pinch of asafoetida (hing) post meals to help with gas. And Triphala might be helpful, especially before bed, it’s gentle on the system and helps balance bowel movement with time.
Your routine is important too. Washed-out, erratic daily patterns like rushing meals or eating late dinners dampens Agni (digestive fire) and disturbs the natural rhythms. Fixing your meal times and including light physical activities, even a short walk post meals, can help strengthen Agni.
And don’t underestimate the power of Pranayama. Practicing gentle breathing techniques can be calming, particularly ones like Anulom Vilom or sitting with deep abdominal breaths. These practices also aid digestion and can gently nudge stool movements along.
But, really, keep track of your symptoms. Anything worsening, especially obstruction, needs immediate medical attention. Ayurveda complements but doesn’t replace essential medical check-ups. Checking in with your doctor about these persistent problems — it’s a must!
Above all, nurturing your own patience and being kind to your body as it relearns its workings after such major changes is key. Be in tune with what feels right, and remember, healing is a journey.
