Hello Isha, how are your appetite & stools? Have your recent blood work done like CBC, ESR & CRP to check for any inflammation still. In Ayurveda, your symptoms of sudden vomiting and weight loss following typhoid suggest an imbalance in Pitta dosha, particularly Amla Pitta, characterized by excess heat and acid in the stomach. To restore balance, Ayurveda recommends herbal remedies such as Amla (1 tsp with warm water twice daily) to cool Pitta and restore digestive health, Yashtimadhu (½ tsp with warm water twice daily) to soothe the digestive system, and Tab Laghu Sootshekar 1 tab TID to improve overall digestion and reduce intensity of pitta. Following a Pitta-pacifying diet that includes cooling, easy-to-digest foods like kichadi, rice, moong dal, and steamed vegetables is essential, while avoiding spicy, oily, and fried foods. Avoid tea or coffee. Staying hydrated with coconut water and buttermilk with cumin can help cool the digestive system. Sip warm water with cumin and coriander seeds throughout the day, and consider herbal tea made from fennel, coriander, and licorice to soothe the stomach lining but don’t drink it too hot. Lifestyle adjustments, such as practicing Pranayama (cooling breath) to reduce stress and engaging in mild activities like walking or yoga, can support digestion. A gentle detox with Triphala (1 tsp at bedtime) can help cleanse the digestive tract, while daily self-massage with coconut oil or aloe vera gel can reduce Pitta heat in the body. Following this holistic Ayurvedic approach can help alleviate your digestive issues, but it’s advisable to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalised guidance, especially for chronic symptoms.

Given your history of typhoid and the subsequent weight loss, along with persistent vomiting, it’s essential to approach your situation holistically. It's good that you’ve consulted with doctors, but since the antacids haven’t provided relief and the symptoms don’t feel like typical acidity, there could be underlying issues that need addressing.
In Ayurveda, we can focus on restoring your digestive health. It would be beneficial to start with Triphala, which can help improve digestion and regulate bowel movements; take 1-2 teaspoons of the powder mixed with warm water before bedtime. Ginger tea can also be soothing; you might want to prepare it by boiling fresh ginger in water and drinking it warm. Consider taking Amla (Indian gooseberry) powder, which is known for its digestive properties and can help manage hyperacidity; take 1 teaspoon with honey in the morning.
Additionally, Ajwain (carom seeds) may help; you can chew a teaspoon after meals to alleviate digestive discomfort. Gandharva Hastadi Kashayam is a herbal decoction that can support your digestive system as well. Maintaining a light, easily digestible diet, focusing on warm cooked foods and avoiding spicy or heavy meals, can further aid in your recovery. It’s also important to stay hydrated and include soothing herbal teas in your routine.
Please monitor your symptoms closely, and if they persist or worsen, seeking a comprehensive evaluation from an Ayurvedic physician would be advisable. Have you experienced any specific triggers that precede the vomiting episodes?

Hmm, vomiting every week after a bout of typhoid definitely sounds concerning and not just plain hyperacidity, especially if antacids didn't help. In Ayurveda, we’d first look at your agni, the digestive fire, which might've been disturbed post-typhoid. When agni is weak, it can lead to undigested food (ama) accumulating, which can cause symptoms like vomiting.
First off, it might be a good idea to revisit the basics of your diet. Stick to freshly cooked meals, avoiding too much spicy, oily or processed stuff. Try incorporating more easy-to-digest foods like warm soups and kitchari into your meals. Sipping on ginger tea throughout the day can also help stimulate and strengthen agni. You can make it by boiling a few slices of fresh ginger in water for about 10-15 minutes.
We also might think about your dosha – post-typhoid with recurrent vomiting might indicate an imbalance in Pitta, and sometimes Vata. Cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and a bit of coconut water can be soothing. But avoid overdoing it with cold drinks and icy stuff, as it can dampen the digestive fire more.
I can't stress enough about timing; eat your main meal at midday when your agni is strongest, and keep dinners light. I'm also wondering about when these vomiting episodes happen – is it after certain triggers? Keep a diary maybe, could help spot patterns.
Please remember, while these recommendations can help stabilize your digestion, continuous vomiting can cause dehydration and other complications. It’s crucial to stay in touch with a healthcare professional for this – sometimes conditions are tricky and need a multifaceted approach. So, listen to your body, tune into what might be triggering these episodes, and keep those doctors updated!
