Ah, dealing with stubborn stomach pain - that can be really vexing! Especially if nothing seems to budge the discomfort. You've taken steps with medications like Mesalamine, but if all those pills barely put a dent in the agony, let's explore Ayurveda a bit deeper. Maybe something will click this time! So, you know this abdominal pain—might be linked with Pitta imbalance. It tends to run fiery and hot, which can cause inflammation. But hey, it's not just the doshas; stress also flares things up, so anxiety pills are understandable. Here’s what we might try: First off – just the basics – food. Cut back on spicy stuff, fried or too much acidic foods. Instead, munch on cooling and soothing stuff like coconut water, cucumber, and ripe bananas. Even simple rice porridge can help y'know. Aim for small meals, decent intervals, let your digestive fire settle, but don't let it fizzle out completely. Herbs? Yeah, let's talk about some. Amla (Indian Gooseberry) is great. You could try Triphala Tea – it's sometimes a game-changer for digestion, just don't expect magic overnight. Boil one teaspoon of Triphala powder with water, let it cool a bit before sipping, and do it before bedtime. Consistency's key here! For the anxiety, meditation might be your ally here. Maybe commit to even ten minutes a day if you can. Breathing exercises too, they’ve been known to calm both mind and gut. It’s all one big system after all. And if you’re open to it, a simple self-massage around the navel with warm ginger oil or castor oil can soothe some of that tension. Gentle, circular motions. See how your body reacts to that. I get it, not everything works for everyone, but try tweaking a little here and there, give it time. And, absolutely, if it's worsening or you suspect anything more serious, seek immediate help. Hope something here shines a light on your path to feeling better.
