Hello Jaynit, for a 13-year-old with IBS, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing Vata and Pitta doshas. Give Bilva powder (½ tsp in warm water) once daily to regulate bowel movements, and Amla powder (1 tsp with warm water or honey) for gut health. Psyllium husk (½ tsp in warm water after meals) can also aid digestion. Follow a light, easily digestible diet with warm, soft foods like rice and moong dal, avoiding spicy, fried, or processed foods. Offer thin buttermilk with roasted cumin and salt after meals for digestion. At bedtime, give Triphala powder (½ tsp with warm water) to cleanse the digestive system. Regular meal times and mild activities like walking or yoga are also beneficial. If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurvedic doctor.

To address your child's IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) issues, which include stomach pain and frequent bowel movements, it's essential to gather more information about his condition. Could you please provide details about his food habits, including what he typically eats, any specific foods that seem to trigger his symptoms, and whether he has undergone any tests to rule out other conditions?
For managing IBS in children, dietary changes can be very beneficial. Incorporating a high-fiber diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can promote digestive health. Additionally, keeping him well-hydrated is important. Ayurvedic remedies can also provide relief; consider giving him Triphala powder (1 teaspoon mixed with warm water before bedtime) to help regulate bowel movements and support digestion. Ginger tea may also be soothing for stomach pain; steep fresh ginger in hot water and let him drink it warm. Another useful formulation is Gandharva Hastadi Kashayam, which can help balance digestive issues; administer as directed by a healthcare professional.
Lastly, incorporating Ajwain (carom seeds) into his meals can help alleviate gas and bloating. A consistent routine of light physical activity, like walking or yoga, can also help with digestion. If his symptoms persist or worsen, please consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for further evaluation and personalized treatment options.

Absolutely understand how concerning it is when your child is facing such discomfort. IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, really plays havoc with one's health, and especially unsettling in children. In Ayurveda, we look for balance in the doshas, and here it seems a possible Vata imbalance affecting digestion.
First things first, have you checked whether specific foods trigger his symptoms? It might help to keep a food diary for a week, noting what he eats and how it makes him feel. This isn't a cure but could offer some practical insights. Certain foods like dairy, gluten, or highly processed snacks can aggravate IBS in some folks.
Let's talk about diet, then. Simple, warm, and easy-to-digest foods would be key for him. Kitchari, a mix of rice and mung dal, cooked with cumin, coriander, and a dash of ghee, is gentle on the stomach. Avoid cold foods, carbonated drinks, raw vegetables, and overly spicy foods—they can worsen the issue.
Now for some practical lifestyle changes. Encourage your son to eat meals at the same times each day—this routine helps regulate digestive rhythms. After meals, a gentle 10-15 minute walk can aid digestion.
For a calming effect, incorporating triphala can be helpful. A teaspoon before bed mixed with warm water might support his bowel movements. It's parts of your daily practice, and it's ayurvedic powerhouse when it comes to digestive health.
Also, stress can make IBS worse, right? Regular relaxation exercises like pranayama (breathing exercises) or child-friendly yoga can be beneficial. Even just five minutes of deep breathing can calm an anxious mind and soothe the gut.
But, very crucial to speak to a healthcare professional, to make sure nothing else is going on. If he has severe pain, weight loss, or blood in his stool, get that checked with a doctor promptly.
The gentle path of Ayurveda might bring some relief, but remember, each body is unique. Listen to it, observe, adapt, and surely you'll find your way to nurturing his health. All the best!
