Hello Preline,could you tell me more about your diet, exercise routine, and daily stress levels? Have you noticed any specific triggers for your diarrhea or acid reflux, such as certain foods or emotional stress? How long have you been experiencing these issues, and have you had any tests to check for underlying conditions like hormonal imbalances or gastrointestinal problems? Also, how is your emotional well-being and sleep quality on a regular basis?
From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms suggest a potential imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, both of which can affect digestion, mood, and overall vitality. Vata imbalances can cause bloating, brain fog, and sleep disturbances, while Pitta imbalances can lead to acid reflux, irritability, and skin issues. It seems like there could also be a build-up of Ama (toxins), which is affecting your metabolism and digestion.
For digestion and acid reflux, Triphala and Hingvastak Churna can help regulate bowel movements and balance digestive fire. Ashwagandha and Brahmi can support cognitive function, reduce brain fog, and improve sleep. Shatavari can also help balance hormones, improve libido, and calm the nervous system. Amla (Indian gooseberry) and Giloy can help boost immunity, support digestion, and reduce inflammation.
In addition to herbal remedies, a cooling, easily digestible diet with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and light foods can help balance Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, or heavy foods, and try to include stress-relieving practices such as yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises), or meditation. Regular physical activity like walking can also help with weight management, bloating, and overall health.

Sounds like you've got quite a lot on your plate, and it seems like high cortisol levels could be playing a part in all these symptoms. So, high cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," can create havoc in different ways, and it's known to affect weight, sleep and even mood.
So, let's break it down bit. First things first, Ayurveda views health through a lens of balance. The symptoms you described suggest a possible imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata governs movement and nervous system, and Pitta oversees digestion and metabolism. When these two get out of whack, all sorts of symptoms can arise—sound familiar?
One actionable step is to focus on grounding and cooling practices to calm these doshas. Start with your diet. Incorporate more warm, nourishing foods like kichari, which is a mix of rice and mung dal cooked with spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Avoid stimulants like caffeine and spicy foods, as they can aggravate digestion and stress.
Routine is important too. Try to eat, sleep, and wake up at the same time every day. It helps stabilize your body's internal clock. Sleep before 10 p.m. if you can, ideally after a warm cup of spiced milk—nutmeg or cardamom works brilliantly to soothe excess Vata.
Also, consider Ashwagandha—an adaptogen that can help regulate cortisol. But, be cautious and consult a doctor before starting new supplements, especially if you are taking other medications.
For stress management yoga or simple breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom can do wonders for calming the mind and lowering stress levels.
If symptoms persist, it's super vital to consult a healthcare professional. Some of these symptoms could be signs of underlying conditions that need more immediate attention than Ayurveda alone can provide.
