Thank you, George, for clearly explaining your condition. I can understand how frustrating and uncomfortable it must be to deal with such a reaction from so many common foods a year. The digestive system becomes more sensitive and when this is combined with long-term imbalances in diet or past lifestyle habits, it’s start showing up in multiple ways, food intolerance, bloating, itching, and skin darkening. from what you have shared, it is very clear that your body is struggling to properly process and eliminate certain types of food, especially heavy oily or Farman table. Once the signs like bloating, gas at night, skin, hitching and burning sensation in thecolon area, suggest that your digestive fire has been become irregular and sensitive. This has likely led to buildup. Talk digested waste in the body which is now irritating, both your skin and internal organs According to Ayurveda digestion is the foundation of health. When digestion is not balanced. It doesn’t lead to gas or bloating. It affects the blood skin joints and Dwan mind. Let’s start by making sense of your symptoms. You mentioned that carbohydrates, pulses, fried and fatty foods and most fruits are triggering floating and stomach upset. These are all either Farman table or heavy to digest items as we ate the ability of the gut to break down such foods naturally declined, especially if digestion is weak or if there is a chronic inflammation in the intestine. When food is not properly digested, it stays in the gut longer for months produces gas and releases irritants that affect both the cut lining and the skin. This also causes toxins to enter the blood stream which can lead to allergic reactions, itching or even skin, darkening and thickening as you mentioned around the Car area, the calf skin darkening could also be related to Poor circulation or Venus information, which again connects to internal heat and dryness overtime burning in the colon at night,along with gas formation shows that the accumulated gas is not only irritating your sleep but also affecting the sensitive mucosa of your rectal area Now coming to your solutions first and four, most importantly, you will need to completely reset your digestion for at least 3 to 4 weeks. Stick to a very simple and soft that this means only warm, freshly cooked food, preferably in semi solid or well cooked form. Avoid all fruits, Raw salads fried items, packet, snacks, and anything that comes from the fridge. Start your day with warm water, even better if boiled and cold slightly. you may add a pinch of dry ginger or fennel seeds in the boiling water sip this water throughout the day instead of plain water for breakfast have soft rice porridge. aur a lightly cooked moong dal Khichdi with a pinch of cumin avoid bread, biscuits, milk, Aunty in the morning mid morning, if you’re hungry, you can take a few soaked almonds that have been peeled or some cooked apple or beer, depending upon what you tolerate for lunch, eat only well cooked rice or soft wheat Pulka with one vegetable and millet. Dal avoid rajma Channa or A Daal don’t eat curd or milk You can have butter milk in a diluted form with pinch of rocks, salt, and roasted cumin powder. If you want something so you can use a little lemon juice on food just before eating dinner. Should be early around sunset or before 8 PM and very light Khichdi with a teaspoon of ghee and boiled vegetables is ideal Ghee is important in your case because it helps reduce internal dryness and soda. The lining. It also improves skin moisture from the inside. Make sure to use pure home-made or trusted sources of Desi Koogi in small amounts award, mustard oil or refined oils for now cook with a little coldpressed, coconut or sesame oil, add spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel, two year food to help digestion, but stay away from strong spices like red chilli or Garam Masala No regarding your skin symptoms, apply coconut oil, or castor oil mixed with little turmeric to the calves once a day, this can open the skin and reduce inflammation. If the hitching is too much. You take a bath with water boiled with Neem leaves and cool to worm temperature. Do not use harsh soaps. Use mild herbal soap just gram flour with turmeric while bathing. For your digestion and gas problem in mild herbal combination of dried ginger fennel, and Ajwain equal parts can be taken as a pinch before or after meals, if gas and burning or too strong, take a little warm water with a pinch of rock salt and cumin boiled in it before lunch for night, taking half teaspoon of cow ghee in warm water before sleep, help reduce colon irritation and shooters gas buildup, it also supports BOWEL health and skin healing over time When it comes to lifestyle, avoid sleeping in daytime and avoid heavy dinner late at night. Go for short, slow walk after meals. It will help your direction and circulation, especially to your legs if possible, raise your legs slightly when lying down by placing a pillow under the CALVES, this will help with the skin darkening and circulation. No talking about herbal internal support, depending upon your strength and digestion, a gentle combination of harps that so the gut lining reduce internal heat and helps in clearing toxins, maybe useful Giloyghan vati -one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Amlaki rasayana-teaspoon with warm water daily once Avipattikara churna-1/2 with water before meals are very beneficial. In your case, strong detox or progression should be avoided. Instead, you need to slow clearing the toxin through light and calming of internal heat. Sleep is very important. You said gas formation at night is affecting sleep. That happens when the digestion is incomplete and mentation continuous even after lying down. So please finish dinner before 7 PM. Take a short walk and drink a cup of warm water with a pinch of fennel before Sleep try to avoid lying down immediately after eating. Avoid watching TV later at night, if your mind is calm and die is quite sleepy improve. This will also help produce information and skin reactions. Healing at your age is possible, but it takes patience and consistent effort. You do not need complicated diets or harsh medicines. All your symptoms are linked to a common cause.-30 sensitive digestion, internal heat and talks in buildup if you take care of this with one routine and correct, you will start seeing improvement, not only your stomach but also in the skin Take this steps for at least a month and then says your symptoms. If the response is good. Then further herbal support and deep cleansing can be done under observation. You’re not alone and you’re not helpless. Your body is asking for support teenage clear way and Ayurveda the tool to help you respond. Naturally, please keep faith in process and take one day at a time.

HELLO GEORGE THOMAS, AT THE AGE OF 72, YOUR BODY IS NATURALLY EXPERIENCING A REDUCTION IN DIGESTIVE CAPACITY,WHICH IN AYURVEDA IS DESCRIBED AS THE WEAKENING OF "AGNI"(DIGESTIVE FIRE). THIS WEAKENED AGNI IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF "AMA" FORMATION- PARTIALLY DIGESTED, TOXIC RESIDUES THAT ACCUMULATE IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT AND TISSUES, LEADING TO SYMPTOMS SUCH AS BLOATING, GAS, BURNING IN THE COLON, SKIN ITCHING AND FOOD INTOLERANCE. THE FACT THAT YOU ARE REACTING NEGATIVELY TO COMMON FOOD GROUPS LIKE CARBOHYDRATES, PULSES,FATTY FOODS, AND FRUITS SUGGESTS THAT YOUR GUT LINING IS INFLAMED AND HYPERSENSITIVE. AYURVEDA RECOGNIZES THIS STATE AS A MIX OF VATA AND PITTA IMBALANCE,WHEREIN THE ERRATIC NATURE OF VATA(GAS, BLOATING, DISTURBED SLEEP,DRYNESS)COMBINES WITH THE SHARP, PENETRATING QUALITY OF PITTA(BURNING SENSATION, SKIN INFLAMMATION, FOOD REACTIONS). OVERTIME,THIS CHRONIC IMBALANCE HAS LIKELY CAUSED RAKTA DUSTI(IMPURITIES OF BLOOD), LEADING TO THE DARK, THICKENED PATCHES ON YOUR CALF SKIN, WHICH ARE SIGNS OF LONG-STANDING ALLERGIC REACTION AND DISTURBED METABOLIC WASTE PROCESSING. YOUR CONDITION IS NOOT JUST A SURFACE-LEVEL DIGESTION PROBLEM BUT A DEEPER SYSTEMATIC IMABALNCE THT REQUIRES MULTI-LEVEL HEALING. THE GAS FORMATION ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT,POINTS TO A DISTURBED APANA VATA, THE SUBTYPE OF VATA RESPONSIBLE FOR LOWER ABDOMINAL FUNCTIONONG AND SLEEP REGULATION.WHEN APANA VATA IS BLOCKED OR DISTURBED DUE TO AMA AND PITTA AGGRAVATION, IT STARTS MOVING UPWARD WHICH CAUSES GAS,DISCOMFORT IN THE COLON, AND SLEEP ISSUES. BURNING IN THE COLON AT NIGHT IS A CLASSIC SIGN OF PITTA ACCUMULATION IN THE LARGE INTESTINE, AGGRAVATED BY POOR DIGESTION, FRIED/OILY AND SUPPRESSED TOXINS. FROM AN AYURVEDIC STAND POINT, THE ENTIRE GUT NEEDS TO BE DETOXIFIED, THE DIGESTIVE FIRE REKINDLED, AND THE PITTA-VATA BALANCE RESTORED TO ADDRESS BOTH THE INTERNAL DISCOMFORT AND EXTERNAL SKIN MANIFESTATION SO TREATMENT IS TO AIM AT 1)REMOVE TOXINS AND IMPROVE DIGESTION 2)BALANCE PITTA AND VATA DOSHA 3)DETOXIFY AND PURIFY THE BLOOD 4)RESTORE GUT FUNCTION AND REGULARIZE BOWEL MOVEMENTS 5)REJUVINATE TISSUE AND STRENGTHEN IMMUNITY SO TREATMENT SHOULD BE TAKEN IN 3 PHASES- BUT REMEMBER ONLY TAKING INTERNAL MEDICATIONS WILL NOT WORK SO WITH INTERNAL MEDICATIONS+ MILD DETOX+PROPER DIET MAINTANENCE+LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT+YOOGA AND PRANAYAM PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE IN HEALING #PHASE 1- TO REMOVE TOXINS AND SETTLE GUT DURATION- 1 MONTH GOAL- TO REKINDLE WEAKENED DIGESTIVE FIRE(AGNI) -REMOVES UNDIGESTED TOXIV RESIDUE FROM THE GUT -REDUCES GAS,BLOATING,AND BURNING SENSATION IN COLON. -CALM AGGRAVATED PITTA AND VATA DOSHAS -PREVENT FURTHER ALLERGIC REACTIONS 1)AGNITUNDI VATI- 1 TAB BEFORE MEALS TWICE DAILY= STIMULATE DIGESTIVE FIRE, REDUCES TOXINS, IMPROVES DIGESTION 2)AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA- 1 TSP AT BEDTIME WITH WARM WATER= MILD LAXATIVE THAT BALANCES PITTA AND RELIEVES COLON INFLAMMATION AND BURNING 3)AMLAPITTA MISHRAN - 10 ML AFTER MEALS TWICE DAILY=COOLS DOWN EXCESS PITTA CAUSING BURNING, REDUCES ACIDITY 4)GANDHAK RASAYANA- 1TAB AFTER LUNCH-PURIFIES BLOOD,REDUCES SKIN ALLERGIES AND INFLAMMATION DIET- EAT WARM , LIGHT, AND EASY TO DIGEST FOOD- MOONG DAL, BOILED BEGGIES, RICE -AVOID FRIED , OILY,SOUR,AND SPICY FOODS,ALL PULSES EXCEPT GRREN GRAM, BAKERY PRODUCTS AND RAW SALADS -AVOID MILK AND CURD INITIALLY -DRINK WARM WATER INFUSED WITH CAROM OR CUMIN SEEDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY -AVOID COLD DRINKS AND FOODS -EAT 3 MAIN MEALS WITH NO SNACKING IN BETWEEN LIFESTYLE- -WALK 15-20 MIN AFTER MEALS -SLEEP BY 10 PM AVOID LATE NIGHT EATING -APPLY NEEM OIL OR COW GHEE ON CALVES TO SOOTHE SKIN -PRACTICE SHEETALI OR SHEETAKARI PRANAYAM FOR CALMING INTERNA HEAT #PHASE 2- STRENGTHEN DIGESTION AND HEAL GUT DURATION-6-8 WEEKS GOALS- -FURTHER IMPROVE DIGESTIVE FUNCTION -HEAL INTESTINAL MUCOSA AND REDUCE HYPERSENSITIVITY -REDUCE ALLERGIC REACTIONS AND ITCHING -REGULARIZE BOWEL MOVEMENTS AND REDUCE TOXIN ACCUMULATION 1)SANJIVANI VATI- 1 TAB BEFORE MEALS TWICE DAILY= IMPROVES DIGESTION,REDUCE ALLERGIES 2)HARIDRAKHANDA- 1 TSP IN MORNING EMPTY STOMACH WITH MILK=ANTI-INFLAMMATORY , SKIN HEALING,REDUCES PIGMENTATION 3)KUTAJGHAN VATI- 2 TABS AFTER MEALS DAILY TWICE= HEALS COLON LINNIG, REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND DIARRHAEA(IF PRESENT) 4)TRIPHALA CHURNA- 1 TSP AT BEDTIME WITH WARM WATER=MILD DETOXIFIER, REGULATES BOWEL MOVEMENTS, CLEARS TOXINS DIET- -CONTINUE WARM , LIGHT COOKED FOODS -SLOWLY INTRODUCE GREEN GRAM DAL -INCLUDE WELL COOKED APPLES AND RIPE PAPAYA -AVOID RAW FRUITS, SALADS, CITRUS, BANANA AND SPICY/SOUR FOOD -MAINTAIN WARM WATER INTAKE AND AVOID COLD FOODS LIFESTYLE- -CONTINUE LIGHT EXERCISE LIKE WALKING -KEEP SKIN MOISTURIZED WITH NEEM OIL/COW GHEE -PRACTICE PRANAYAM DAILY TO REDUCE STRESS AND INTERNAL HEAT -MAINTAIN REGULAR SLEEP SCHEDULE #PHASE 3- DETOXIFY BLOOD OR REJUVINATE SKIN DURATION-4-6 WEEKS GOALS-PURIFY BLOOD AND REMOVE DEEP TOXINS CAUSING SKIN THICKENING AND DISCOLORATION -REJUVINATE SKIN AND IMPROVE TEXTURE -SUPPORT OVERALL DIGESTIVE AND METABOLIC HEALTH -STRENGTHEN IMMUNITY AND PREVENT RELAPSE 1)MAHAMANJISTHADI KWATHA- 20 ML WITH WATER TWICE DAILY BEFORE MEALS= BLOOD PURIFIER, REDCUES SKIN PIGMENTATION AND INFLMMATION 2)CHANDRAPRABHA VATI- 1 TAB AFTER MEALS TWICE DAILY= SUPPORTS DIGESTION, URINARY HEALTH,AND METABOLISM 3)DRAKSHARITSA- 15 ML AT BEDTIME WITH WATER= CALSM PITTA,IMPROVES DIGESTION AND SLEEP QUAITY DIET- -CONTINUE WARM , NUTRITIOUS FOODS WITH NATURAL SPICES-CORIANDER,CUMIN,FENNEL -INCLUDE SMALL MOUNT OF GHEE AND NATURAL SWEETNERS LIKE HONEY(IN MODERATION) -GRADUALLY REINTRODUCE MORE FRUITS LIKE COOKED APPLE, PAPAYA -AVOID PROCESSED ,FRIED AND HEAVY FOODS -MAINTAIN HYDRATION-3L/DAY LIFESTYLE- -CONTINUE DAILY LIGHT EXERCISE AND PRANAYAM -MAITAIN SKIN CARE ROUTINE WITH MOISTURIZING OILS -PRACTICE STRESS REDUCTION TECHNIQUES SUCH AS MEDITATION OR GENTLE YOGA -ENNSURE GOOD SLEEP HYGIENE AND AVOID LATE MEALS -AVOID COLD EXPOSURE ON LEGS AND STOMACH HOME REMEDIES -1 TSP ROASTED CARROMSEEDS+BLACK SALT AFTER MEALS-HELPS GAS -1 TSP TURMERIC+INDIAN GOOSE BERRY POWDER WITH HONEY-ONCE DAILY FOR SKIN+GUT -NEEM LEAVES DECOCTION- ONCE DAILY STEP WISE TREATMENT IS NECESSARY TO CURE THE PROBLEM FROM ROOT CAUSE SO THAT IT WILL NOT REOCCUR DO FOLLOW THIS STRICTLY AND GET RID OF YOUR DISEASE 100% EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PLANNED FOR YOU HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HEPFULL THANK YOU DR.MAITRI ACHARYA

Addressing food intolerances and allergic reactions through an Ayurvedic approach requires a holistic understanding of your individual constitution and imbalances. Your symptoms suggest a potential aggravation of the Pitta dosha, with signs such as skin itching, burning sensation, and digestive disturbances like bloating and gas. First, let's address the bloating and gas issues. Prioritize foods that are light and easy to digest, such as well-cooked grains like rice or quinoa, and steamed vegetables like zucchini and carrots. Avoid foods known to disturb your digestion like fried items, fats, and certain pulses you're sensitive to. To support your agni, or digestive fire, consider starting your meals with a small piece of fresh ginger sprinkled with lemon juice and a pinch of rock salt. This simple practice can help stimulate digestion. Drink warm water throughout the day to promote digestion and absorption while avoiding ice-cold drinks, which can further dampen your digestive fire. For the itching and skin thickening, topical application of a soothing herbal paste made from sandalwood and neem, slightly moistened with rose water, can help. Apply this paste to the affected areas and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. This blend helps to soothe inflammation and alleviate itching. Incorporate cooling and calming practices in your routine, such as gentle yoga and meditation, to help balance Pitta and reduce overall stress. Avoid exposure to heat and make sure to wear cooling, breathable fabrics. Since your symptoms also include a burning sensation in the colon, it would be beneficial to include fennel and coriander tea into your daily routine. These herbs are known for their cooling properties and can soothe the digestive system. Please remember, If symptoms persist seem severe, or interfere with daily life, consider consulting a healthcare provider for tailored guidance. Your safety and well-being are important, and timely professional advice can prevent further complications.
