Indigestion and associated symptoms like acidity, burning sensations, and constipation can indeed be tricky, especially when reactions to food and medications compounds the issue. From an Ayurvedic perspective, these symptoms may stem from an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, influencing your digestive fire, or agni. Let’s try to tackle this with some actionable Ayurvedic advice while being careful with your sensitivities.

Firstly, if you experience burning sensations during urination and bowel movements, it indicates an excess of Pitta. Begin your day with a glass of cool but not cold water mixed with a teaspoon of coriander seeds soaked overnight. This naturally cooling drink can help temper down the heat element associte with Pitta.

Addressing your indigestion, it’s vital to consume meals on a consistent schedule. Try to eat at roughly the same times daily, as irregular meals can aggravate your agni and lead to further digestive disturbances. Prefer smaller, more frequent meals and opt for easily digestible, Pitta-pacifying foods such as white rice, boiled vegetables, and ripe fruits like sweet apples or pears.

Regarding constipation, introduce soaked flaxseeds to your diet. Soak a spoonful in warm water overnight, and consume it with the water in the morning. The mucilaginous nature of flaxseeds aids in smooth bowel movements without irritating your system.

Since dairy and amla seem to trigger your symptoms, avoid them for now. Opt for non-dairy alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk, and ensure they’re free from any added sugars or preservatives which might cause issues. Butter milk spiced with a pinch of cumin, however, is often tolerated well and can support digestion.

Avoid heavy, spicy, or fried foods which can provoke Pitta and aggravate your symptoms further. Also, steer clear of caffeine and alcohol, as these can disrupt your internal balance. Instead, sip on cool, unsweetened herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint in between meals for their soothing effects.

Finally, consider integrating deep breathing exercises or gentle yoga into your routine. Practices such as Sheetali pranayama can be particularly helpful in cooling down the internal fire and maintaining balance.

Remember that these suggestions are general guidance. It’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can offer a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. If your symptoms worsen or persist beyond what you can manage comfortably, seek medical attention promptly.
