It sounds like you’ve been dealing with quite a persistent issue. When addressing the pain in the left iliac fossa, particularly with the symptoms you describe—bloating, stomach pain, stool changes—it’s important to look at this from a holistic Ayurvedic perspective.
Firstly, considering your prakriti (innate constitution) and vikriti (current imbalance) is vital. The symptoms suggest a Vata and possibly Pitta imbalance. The presence of gas, bloating and pain are indicative of Vata disturbance, while the mild gastritis and mucus may point to Pitta involvement.
In Ayurveda the digestive fire, or agni, is central to health. It’s possible that your agni might be dulled or irregular, contributing to the collection of ama (toxins). Start by enhancing your digestion with simple dietary changes—favor warm, cooked meals. Incorporate spices like cumin, ajwain, and ginger to stimulate agni. Avoid raw, cold foods and dairy, as these might sluggish your digestion.
Triphala can be helpful; however, consistency is crucial. Take it every night with warm water, about an hour before bed. This supports both detoxing and regular bowel movements. You might also consider adding hingvastak churna before meals to alleviate bloating and gas.
Stress also plays a role in digestive health. Including mindfulness exercises, such as yoga or pranayama (breathing techniques), can balance the doshas and support the nervous system.
For your described pain, applying warm sesame oil on the abdomen in a gentle, clockwise motion may relieve Vata-related discomfort. Also, consider a warm castor oil compress occasionally—this can soothe abdominal tightness and promote relaxation.
However, the presence of pus in stool and continuous pain suggests an underlying condition that requires attentive observation by a practitioner. It’s essential to keep open communication with your healthcare provider regarding these symptoms, especially if they persist or worsen.
Remember, Ayurveda is about patience and consistency, and changes might take time to manifest fully. Also, if the pain becomes unbearable or symptoms escalate, promptly consult your healthcare doctor to explore further diagnostics.
