Doctors’ responses

Since you’ve been underweight since birth and have digestive issues (bloating, burning, improper stool formation), your body likely has low Agni (digestive fire) and poor nutrient absorption. Simply eating more won’t help unless your digestion improves. If you want I can guide you through proper diet plus ayurvedic support

Given your situation, we should first consider the balance of your doshas. From an Ayurvedic perspective, individuals with such concerns often have an imbalance of Vata dosha. Vata is associated with movement and bodily functions, and when imbalanced, can lead to digestive issues and difficulty in gaining weight. Addressing these symptoms requires a holistic approach rather than relying solely on Ayurveda medicines. Since you have gut issues like bloating and burning sensations, the digestive fire, or Agni, might be weak or irregular, which can hinder proper nutrient assimilation. To support digestion, consider consuming a warm, nourishing diet that emphasizes easily digestible foods. Include ghee, which is nourishing for Vata, and cooked vegetables and whole grains, such as mung dal or quinoa. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods, which can further aggravate Vata. In your case, gym exercises can be beneficial but focus on strength training rather than intense cardio. Gentle exercises like yoga or pilates can also support your body's balance. Start with exercises that build muscle mass gradually. Supplement this with Ayurvedic remedies such as Ashwagandha or Shatavari, which are known to promote weight gain and strength. Ashwagandha can be taken as a churna (powder) with warm milk, preferably in the evening. Shatavari, known for its tonic properties, could be taken similarly. Both should be used under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure they're appropriate for your constitution and dosha balance. Maintaining a regular eating schedule helps keep Agni strong. Try eating small meals at consistent intervals throughout the day, ensuring you're eating enough calories to promote weight gain. Lifestyle adjustments also play a role. Ensure you get adequate sleep and manage stress as both can affect your digestive health. Practicing mindfulness or meditation could help stabilize your Vata. One last thing, if symptoms like burning persist, you might consider consulting with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions. Ayurveda can certainly be part of your approach, but it's important to integrate it with wise lifestyle choices and, if necessary, medical advice.
