Doctors’ responses
GERD is correlated with Amlapitta in Ayurveda due to aggravated Pitta.
To help cure your condition, I am suggesting a combination of medication, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications.
Medications:
Alserex – as prescribed
Stresscom tablets – 1 tablet twice daily
Avipattikar churna – ½ teaspoon with lukewarm water
Roasted cumin seed powder + fennel seed powder – ½ teaspoon with lukewarm water
Diet:
Continue:
Moong dal
Boiled vegetables
Avoid:
White rice
Tomatoes
Citrus fruits
Onions
Garlic
Spicy food
Fried/oily items
Fermented foods
Additional Guidelines:
Eat small meals every 2–3 hours. Don’t skip meals.
Avoid drinking water immediately before or after meals (wait at least 30 minutes).
Include soothing foods like:
Homemade buttermilk with roasted jeera
Steamed apples or pears
Lifestyle Modifications:
Sleep early (preferably before 10 PM), as acid reflux worsens with late nights.
Avoid lying down for 2–3 hours after meals.
Slightly elevate the head side of your bed.
Practice deep breathing or Anulom Villom daily.
Take gentle walks for 10–15 minutes after lunch and dinner.

Dealing with persistent acid reflux can be frustrating, especially when you've tried various treatments. Let's get to the root cause from an Ayurvedic perspective. In Ayurveda, acid reflux is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha - linked to heat and transformation in the body.
First, start with adjusting your diet. Although you're on a rice-based diet, consider including cooling foods like cucumber, sweet fruits like pears and melons, and green leafy vegetables. Avoid spicy, oily, or excessively sour foods, as these can aggravate the Pitta dosha and your symptoms. Also, try to consume smaller, frequent meals instead of large ones, and ensure you eat your last meal at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.
Herbs can also play a helpful role. You might try incorporating herbs like Shatavari, licorice, or Amla (Indian gooseberry) into your daily routine. Shatavari helps balance Pitta and nourish the digestive system. You can take it in powder or capsule form, about a quarter teaspoon mixed with warm milk, twice daily. Licorice root can soothe the stomach lining and reduce inflammation; it’s typically taken as a tea about half an hour before meals. Amla is excellent for overall digestion, and you can either eat fresh amla or take in juice or powder form.
Another aspect to consider is your lifestyle. Stress can worsen Pitta imbalances, so integrating stress-reducing practices like yoga, deep breathing exercises, or meditation might be beneficial. Strive to get adequate sleep, as rest is vital for maintaining balance in the body.
Also, keep an eye on your eating habits, such as avoiding lying down immediately after meals, and always try to sit straight while eating to aid digestion. Chew your food thoroughly and eat at a relaxed pace to support optimal digestion.
Remember to hydrate well with room-temperature water, and you might want to try adding a few fennel seeds to your water—it can be cooling and help with digestion.
However, since you’ve been struggling for an extended period, it might be worth seeing a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized consultation. They could help tailor these suggestions more precisely to your constitution and symptoms while monitoring your progress.
Balancing Pitta can take some time, and patience and consistency are key. Make sure to give these changes some time to see improvements, and adjust as you go along.
