Gastric problem - #20023

Hello Shivam, To better understand your condition, could you share more about your diet and eating habits, such as the types of foods you typically consume and if you’ve noticed any specific triggers for the bloating? How often do you experience bloating, and is it accompanied by any other symptoms like abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, or fatigue? Additionally, have you undergone any tests to check for digestive issues such as food intolerances, gut infections, or conditions like IBS or malabsorption? It would also be helpful to know about your stress levels, physical activity, and sleep patterns.

According to Ayurveda, your symptoms—persistent bloating, inability to gain weight—suggest an imbalance in Vata dosha (Air element) and possibly weak digestive fire (Mandagni).

Bloating can be quite discomforting and persisting with such symptoms for three years indicates an underlying imbalance probably rooted in your digestive system, or agni. In Ayurveda, bloating often ties back to vata dosha imbalance. This excessive air in the gastrointestinal tract can be sparked by irregular eating habits, stress, or certain food choices disrupting digestive fire.

Given your concerns about weight gain and persistent bloating, it seems your agni might be weak. When digestion is inefficient, nutrients are improperly broken down and absorbed. Fixing this requires a holistic approach.

First, focus on meals. Eat at regular intervals to help regulate your agni. Start your day with warm water to stimulate digestion. Opt for a light breakfast, maybe seasoned oats or quinoa porridge. Avoid heavy, cold or raw foods, and instead cook meals with flavors like ginger, cumin, fennel to light up your digestion. Stick to warm, cooked foods, avoiding leftovers or processed meals. Favorably, incorporate balancing foods that are lightly spiced and easy to digest like soups or stews.

In terms of lifestyle, consider incorporating a routine to pacify vata. Practice yoga or gentle stretching exercises to keep your body’s energy flowing. Make time for activities that make you calm and collected, such as daily meditation or deep-breathing exercises. Ensure adequate sleep, unhampered by screens near bedtime.

You may also benefit from Ayurvedic herbs such as hing (asafetida) which can help relieve bloating or Triphala, taken in a moderate dose before bed to support regular digestion.

Hydration with warm beverages aids digestion so substitute cold drinks with herbal teas, particularly those containing ginger or turmeric. Avoid eating late at night, choose to finish dinner at least 2 hours before bed.

Importantly, if these symptoms persist or any new ones arise, consulting a healthcare professional is vital to exclude any serious underlying causes. Addressing this early ensures that your health optimizes without long-standing issues. Your well-being and safety always comes first!
