From an Ayurvedic perspective, your situation suggests a possible vata dosha imbalance, which might be affecting your body’s ability to gain weight. Vata is responsible for movement and space in the body, and when it’s out of balance, it can lead to thinness and issues like vertigo and sweating when needing to pass stool.
First, addressing your Gastrointestinal issues — When you feel the need to go to the toilet and cannot, it can create anxiety and can trigger the symptoms you’re experiencing. This could be due to the vata dosha contributing to your nervous system’s heightened sensitivity. To manage this, establish a regular routine for meals and toilet habits. Try to have meals at the same time each day, which can help regulate your digestive rhythm and reduce these symptoms.
For dietary suggestions: While dry fruits can be pricey, there are other options. Incorporate ghee into your diet—add a teaspoon to your dal or rice. It’s valuable for gaining healthy weight and pacifying vata. Seek out bananas or milk, which are nutritious and typically affordable. Combining them (a banana shake made with milk) can be a cost-effective option to boost calorie intake. Focus on warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, like khichdi.
Consider creating a homemade weight gain powder: Mix roasted chana dal, soya beans, fenugreek seeds and dry ginger powder. This can be ground into a fine powder and consumed with warm milk or water twice daily, say after breakfast and in the evening.
Focus on stress reduction and relaxation to help your body’s digestive system function more efficiently. Pranayama or simple yoga practices emphasizing calming the mind and body can be beneficial. Engage in gentle exercise, like yoga or light walks, to improve digestion and circulation without over-exerting yourself.
Finally, since your symptoms of vertigo and sweating when holding stool persist, it could be worth discussing with an allopathic doctor to rule out other issues. Balancing vata is an ongoing effort and requires patience. Embrace calming routines and nourishing foods to support your journey to health.
