Chronic intestinal issues - #22043

ANIL
$5.85

I am 62 years old. I am writing to seek an advise regarding chronic digestive issues and related health concerns that I’ve been managing for the last over 10 years. I follow a disciplined, sattvic, vegan diet and lifestyle for over a decade, While it has helped me to have a reasonable normal life, but it hasn't eliminated the issues sustainably. Key health concerns: • Long-standing digestive discomfort, particularly in the Cecum and ascending colon area. • Chronic flatulence, sticky stools, and incomplete evacuation • Occasional fatigue, disturbed sleep (waking after 4–5 hours), and itchy skin • Mild, puffiness in right hand and foot, which increases and decreases intermittently, which I feel is also possibly linked to the gut issues Since couple of months I started with a few ayurvedic formulation and have found that the following help my symptoms: 1) Himalaya Diarex 2) Sharangdhar Kutaj compound 3) Patanjali Cologrit. Since a couple of months I also find that taking Hingwashtak churna in juice greatly helps with flatulence. Also recently I have started the day with a herbal tea consisting of ginger, turmeric, fennel, cumin, ajwain, cinnamon, cardamom, fenugreek, haritaki, bael, mulethi and ashwagandha served with a little soy milk and jaggery. This has also helped in preventing constipation. Based on the above symptoms and details, I would like to have a plan from an expert which I can sustainably do short term, medium term and long term to help with this chronic problem.

Thanks Doctor. I was also doubting if it was Colitis or sangrahini. Can I continue the medicines you prescribed regularly for long term till it gets OK? If not, for how long can I take your medicines? Since you said to stop milk products and gluten, do I still take rice at dinner with curd? Is curd still OK? Currently I get relieved by Hingwashtak churna and also taking either Himalaya Diarex or Sharangdhar Kutaj compound or Patanjali Cologrit – can I continue taking these also along with your prescription regularly till I get OK. Thanks Anil

You can take minimum 90 days for that treatment bcz sangrahini takes time to cure…

You can take home made fresh curd bcz it’s have probiotics and it’s can heel mucosal membrane of large intestine and dudonem

Go for it nawdays 3 out of 10 peoples are suffers this disease in India especially in north India region due to food habits and anxiety

Thanks…also can I continue taking what is giving me relief at the moment, ie Himalaya Diarex or Sharangdhar Kutaj compound or Patanjali Cologrit. I take either of these 2 tabs twice a day. Also, I use Hingwashtak churna - 1 tsp mixed with warm water every day with my lunch. Can I continue all the above for 90 days along with the medicines you prescribed? Thanks Anil

You can also take these medicines but amount of medicine is higher so in my openion you take cologhrit 1-1 tab after meal twice daily…and rest of medicine should avoid…

I had done ultrasound which didn’t show up any major issues. I did a blood test which was normal except slightly elevated eosinophils levels. I did a stool test, which was limited to worms, which was negative. However, sometimes even after emptying bowels it feels better but after sometime I can feel that the lining in colon has some prickly sensations. All this improves a fair bit by taking some of the ayurvedic medicines mentioned above, which I started trying a month ago.

Then you can start on Hingwastaka churna-1/2 tsp with lukewarm water after meals Chitrakadi vati- to be chewed 3 times daily Triphala churna- 1 tsp with warm water at night Drink butter milk with rock salt and roasted cumin powder daily Walk after having food Drink lukewarm water at empty stomach daily Atleast have dinner before 2 hours to bed Avoid eating raw salads or sprouts at night

Your journey with chronic digestive issues sounds quite involved, and your disciplined approach shows commendable dedication. In Ayurveda, these symptoms often indicate an imbalance of Vata and potentially Kapha dosha, affecting the digestive fire (Agni). Let’s build on what you’re already doing with more precise steps.

First, immediate steps to help ease your digestion could include continuing with Hingwashtak churna, as it aligns well with Vata imbalance and aids in digestion. Consider having it 15-30 minutes before meals. Additionally, your herbal tea is excellent but try focusing more on ginger and turmeric, as they’re potent for digestive fire; maybe reduce the other ingredients if you find the mix too stimulating.

In the medium term, let’s adjust your diet a bit. Your sattvic vegan lifestyle is suitable, but you might benefit from incorporating warming and grounding foods to pacify Vata. Think cooked grains like rice, oats, and lentils, and favor warm, soupy, nourishing meals. Eat meals at consistent times to align with your body’s natural rhythms, to support digestion and regularity.

For long-term relief, nurturing your Agni and balancing doshas is essential. Consider practicing daily Abhyanga (self-massage with sesame oil) before showering, as it can stabilize Vata and improve circulation. Tranquil practices like yoga and pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing, might support your sleep and overall well-being.

Mindful eating is vital — chew slowly, focus on your meal without distractions. After lunch, a short walk can help digestion.

If swelling in hand and foot persists, it might be worthwhile consulting with a local Ayurvedic practitioner to explore personalized herbal options or treatments like Basti (enema with medicated oils or decoctions), known for detoxification and revitalizing the digestive tract.

It’s important, though, to remain in touch with your regular healthcare provider, especially if symptoms like fatigue or swelling worsen, to ensure all health bases are covered. Perseverance with these practices should help find the balance your system seeks.
