I wake up with a flat tummy. Even after just 1 glass of water my tummy feels full. As the day proceeds i feel more and more uncomfortable after eating and consuming liquid. Most days I can only stomach 1 meal

Hello Selina,Your symptoms—early satiety, bloating even after a small intake of water or food, and discomfort worsening throughout the day—suggest the need for further evaluation. How long have you been experiencing these digestive issues? Do you have nausea, acid reflux, or any changes in bowel movements? Have you noticed weight loss or loss of appetite beyond your known condition? Are you currently on chemotherapy, radiation, or any medications that might affect digestion? Have you had recent blood tests (CBC, LFT), imaging (ultrasound, CT scan), or endoscopy? Additionally, in Ayurveda, factors like tongue coating, skin texture, and emotional well-being play a role in diagnosis. These details will help in designing an effective Ayurvedic management plan.
Hi, thank you for the response. I’ve come to notice the issue just over 6 months ago. I selsom have acid reflux. My bowl movements have changed due to not eating enough some days. I am on the zoladex injection which is taken every 3 months. I haven’t done bloods recently, will be due soon
My skin texture is currently very rough and thin

Oh, dealing with bloating can be such a pain, right? Sounds like your agni, or digestive fire, might be needing a little boost. And since it happens after eating or drinking, it’s definitely related to digestion.
First off, let’s keep it simple. Start your day with a glass of warm water. You can add a slice of lemon if you like. The warm water gently wakes up your digestive system and is a good prep before putting anything else in. Avoid cold water, it can dampen your digestive fire and make bloating worse.
Thinking about your meals, try to eat during daylight hours, ideally between 10 am and 2 pm when your bodily agni is strongest. Your regular meal should be your lunch — it can help you feel more comfortable. And try to stick to lighter dinners; think soups or stews that are easier on your stomach.
When it comes to what you’re eating, spices like ginger, cumin, and coriander can aid digestion. A simple remedy is ginger tea — just steep a few slices of fresh ginger in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes, drink it after meals to aid digestion. This little hack is golden.
Another thing, you might wanna look at your stress levels. Stress can mess up your digestion big time. Simple breathing exercises — just a few minutes where you focus on slow inhales and exhales — can do wonders. Sounds a bit zen, but it works.
Finally, watch your hydration habits. Drinking too much water alongside meals can dilute your digestive enzymes, leading to bloating. Sip water throughout the day instead.
Remember, consistency is key here. Making these changes gradually rather than all at once will ensure your body adjusts well. If your bloating persists or worsens suddenly, it’s important to check in with a healthcare professional to rule out anything serious.
