Dear Asif Ji
Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your health journey, i understand that living with IBS, especially with symptoms like diarrhoea, bloating, abdominal pain, and gut sensitivity can deeply impact your daily comfort energy levels, and peace of mind. Sleep disturbances like insomnia can aggravate this issues and create a cycle of stress and tiredness along with digestive discomfort. It is hardening to hear that your anxiety has significantly reduced and that itself is a positive step forward. Now let’s focus down your digestive balance and strengthening your gut health naturally through the lens of Ayurveda.
Understanding your condition, according to ayurvedic point of view —
In Ayurveda, your current symptoms resemble a condition known as GRAHAANI, which is primarily a dysfunction of the small intestine and is GOVERNED by balancing Agni when Agni becomes irregular or weak often due to past stress, improper eating habits or lingering Doshi imbalances
It leads to improper digestion, absorption, and elimination. This gives rise to symptoms like ATISARA.(diarrhoea.) UDARASHOOLA.(abdominal pain.) ADHMANA(bloating) and a feeling of weakness in the gut
In your case, based on the symptom picture and age, the dominant involvement appears to be of vata and PITTA Dosa with VATA PRAKOPA causing irregularity, dryness, and hyper motility, and PITTA VRIDDHI contributing to inflammation and sensitivity
Further more, your mind and VATA Dosha are deeply interconnected. The past anxiety may have triggered VATA imbalance in the MANO vagabond srotas (channels of Mind) which is now manifesting more dominantly in the Anna vaha srotas (digestive channels) so both mind and gut needs dental healing
