hello bayas,
What you’re describing that pulling type of pain in the lower abdomen every 20 minutes, urge to pass stool but only gas comes out is most likely a sign of Apana Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. Apana Vata controls the downward movement in the body, like urination, bowel movement, menstruation, etc. When it gets disturbed, the Vata gets stuck in the colon. This leads to this kind of discomfort bloating, frequent urge, and incomplete evacuation feeling.”
It’s a functional issue right now, not necessarily a serious disease but if not managed now, it can progress to IBS-like patterns. The good thing is Ayurveda is very effective in correcting these Vata-related gut issues quickly.”
Internal Medication: (for 2 weeks minimum):
Hingvashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, 2 times daily
Abhayarishta – 20 ml with equal warm water after dinner
Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime
Kutajghan Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food (only if loose stools start)
Diet Tips:
Avoid raw vegetables, fruits, cold food, curd, fridge water for now
Eat warm, soft food like rice, moong dal, cumin-water, ghee, lightly cooked vegetables
Take warm ajwain-jeera-fennel water throughout the day
Avoid heavy-to-digest food like wheat roti, chana, fried food, maida
External Support:
Apply warm castor oil or sesame oil on lower abdomen before bath
Light fomentation (hot water bag) on belly 10 minutes after meals
Optional Tests (only if pain continues more than 5 days):
Stool Routine
Abdominal Ultrasound
CBC and ESR
This looks more like a functional Vata-Kapha imbalance than infection, so with this line of treatment you should start feeling relief in 2–3 days itself. Keep your body warm, and avoid suppressing natural urges like fart or urine.
If anything changes or pain increases, do let me know immediately.
Take care,
Regards, Dr.Karthika

HELLO BAYAS,
Your reported symptoms
- lower abdominal pulling pain every 20 minutes for 2 days
-urge to defecate frequently , but only gas passes
- no chronic illness
- age= 45
These symptoms point towards a disturbance in Apana vata, a subtype of Vata dosha that governs the pelvic region, including the colon, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs.
Your symptoms suggest
-Anaha= suppressed flatus, discomfort due to gas
- Adhmana= gaseous distention in lower abdomen
- Vibandha= constipation or incomplete evacuation
-Possibly early stage of Grahani: A functional digestive disorder caused by mandagni (low digestive fire)
POSSIBLE CAUSES IN YOUR CASE
-eating at irregular times
- dry, cold, or gas-producing foods like cauliflower, chana etc
- suppression of natural urges
- emotional stress or overthinking - vata increases with stress
- exposure to cold weather, sitting on cold surfaces
- excessive travel or activity
AYURVEDA PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
DOSHA= vata(apana) is vitiated-becomes erratic, cold, and dry
DUSHYA= agni(digestive fire) and Malas(waste products, especially faces)
SROTAS AFFECTED= annavaha srotas(digestive tract),Purishavaha srotas(colon)
SYMPTOMS= pulling pain, bloating, flatus without stool, urge to defecate repeatedly, discomfort
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
1) AGNI DEEPANA AND AMAPACHANA
(stimulating digestion and removing toxins)
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with water water after meals
=relieves gas, bloating , colic, kindles digestive fire
-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey or warm water before mealls
= digestive stimulant
-AJWAIN+ ROCK SALT
-chew 1 tsp ajwain with a pinch of rock salt
-follow with warm water
=acts as a natural carminative
2) VATA ANULOMANA(normalising downward movement of vata)
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at night
= softens stools, reduces bloating and vata disturbance
-ABHAYARISHTA= 20 ml + 20 ml water after dinner
= mild laxative, balances apana vata, improves bowel habits
3) PAIN MANAGEMENT
-DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml + warm water twice daily before meals
=releieves deep seated vata related colic, supports apana vata balance
EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATION
-Dashmoola taila
=warm the oil, apply to lower abdomen and gently massage clockwise for 5-10 min
-cover the area with a hot water bag
RECOMMENDED DIET
-moong dal khichdi with ghee- easy to digest, balances all doshas
- boiled vegetables= ash gourd, bottle gourd, carrots
- rice gruel with cumin and rock salt
- warm water with ginger, fennel or cumin throughout the day
-buttermilk with roasted cumin and hing after lunch
FOODS TO AVOID
-cold water and refrigerated food= increases vata, weakens digestion
-curd at night= heavily increases kapha and vata
- pulses like chana, rajma, urad dal= gas forming
- cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli= faltulence
- fried and spicy food= disturbs digestive fire, increases pitta-vata
- tea, coffee, carbonated drinks= irritate vata and colon
LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
-wake up early by 6 am, bowel habits tend to improve with routine
- take a short walk after meals
- gentle yoga poses
*pawanmuktasana
*apanasana
*vajrasana after meals
-Use a hot water bag over the abdomen for pain relief
- keep abdomen warm, avoid sitting on cold surfaces
DON'T
-avoid excessive physical exertion
-avoid suppressing urge to urinate/pass stool
-don't delay meals or overeat
DO FOLLOW
THANK YOU
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Stomach pain and a frequent urge to use the toilet can be quite discomforting. Based on the symptoms you've described, it could possibly indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, characterized by irregular or excessive movement within the body, often affecting the digestive system. This imbalance could lead to symptoms like the pulling pain and the sensation of needing to pass stool but only passing gas.
To address the discomfort, consider including warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods in your diet, as these can help pacify Vata. Foods like cooked rice, khichdi (a porridge made from a mixture of rice and lentils), and soups can be soothing to your digestive system. Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods until the symptoms subside, as they can aggravate Vata.
Ginger tea or warm fennel tea after meals may also help in relieving the gas and promoting digestion. Chewing on a small piece of fresh ginger with a dash of rock salt before meals might stimulate your digestive fire, known as 'Agni', which is important for effective digestion and assimilation.
In terms of lifestyle, try to avoid rushed activities and create a sense of calm in your routines. Practicing gentle yoga or deep breathing exercises might also support the calming of Vata dosha.
If the pain continues without improvement, and especially if it increases in intensity, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any serious underlying causes. Immediate attention is needed if any new symptoms arise, like fever, vomiting, or severe and persistent pain. Seeking a professional opinion ensures that you receive the appropriate care needed for your condition.

HELLO BAYAS,
SYMPTOMS
-pulling pain in lower abdomen (not pricking)-> indicates vata imbalance, particularly apana vata
-pain occurs every 20 minutes-> suggests vata vitiation with Vamana vata disturbance affecting gut motility
-feeling of urge to defecate often, but only flatus is released -> points to adhmana (bloating) and vibandha (incomplete evacuation)
-chronic illness=none- good for response to natural therapy
AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS
PULLING PAIN- vata vyadhi especially apana vata= dry, mobile, irregular sensation
GAS BUT NO MOTION= adhmana/anaha= obstructed vata in colon
FREQUENT URGE= apana vata dushti= imbalanced downward movement
NO APPETITE, HEAVINESS= mandagni(low digestive fire)- poor digestive fire leads to toxin accumulation
STEP 1= STIMULATE DIGESTION AND REMOVE TOXINS
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals thrice daily
=reduces gas, improves digestion
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water at bedtime
=helps with bowel evacuation
-SHANKHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals
=for abdominal cramps, gas
-TRIKATU CHURNA= 1 pinch with honey before meals
=boosts digestion
take for 15-30 days
STEP 2= after 15 days of step 1- pacifying apana vata
-DASHMOOLA KWATHA= 20 ml with warm water twice daily after meals
=reduces pain, vata pacifier
-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk at bedtime
=strengthen apana vata
EXTERNAL THERAPY
-OIL MASSAGE with mahanarayan taila=daily before bath
-Warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen=15-20 mins daily
-Hot water bag fomentation after meals
DIET PLAN
MORNING(empty stomach)= warm water with 1 tsp ghee or cumin tea
BREAKFAST= soft rice kanji or moong dal porridge, with pinch of ajwain
MID-MORNING= roasted fennel seeds or pomegranate
LUNCH= warm khichdi(moong dal+rice), cooked vegetables like pumpkin, bottle gourd, carrot
EVENING= jeera ajwain tea or warm lemon water
DINNER= soft rice, moong dal soup, 1 tsp ghee
BEFORE BED= 1 tsp triphala churna with warm water and ghee
this is sample diet plan, plan your diet accordingly
AVOID STRICTLY
-beans like rajma, chole, chana
-milk products
- raw salads
- carbonated drinks, bakery items
- leftover food
-cold or refrigerated items
- cabbage, cauliflower, potato
LIFESTYLE
-wake up by 6-7 am
-yoga daily= pawanmuktasana, apanasana, vajrasana, malasana, suryanamskar
-10-15 mins walk after meals stimulate digestion
-avoid afternoon naps= increases kapha worsens digestion
-sleep by 10 pm= prevents vata aggravation at night
PANCHAKARMA ADVISED
-basti-medicated enema= best and very effective
-virechana
TIMELINE OF RELIEF
DAY 1-3= reduced bloating, better digestion
DAY 4-7= reduced pain frequency, better bowel movement
WEEK 2= restored agni, minimal or no gas improved comfort
WEEK 3= vata stability and digestive health
THANK YOU
