Your symptoms suggest Agnimandya (low digestive fire), Amlapitta (acid reflux/hyperacidity), and Anaha/Constipation with signs of Grahani dosha (IBS-like condition) according to Ayurveda. These are usually due to vitiated Pitta and Vata doshas, often triggered by irregular diet, stress, and incompatible foods. Internal medicines:
1.Hinguvashtaka Churna 1 tsp with warm water before food 2.Kamadudha Ras 1 tablet twice a day after meals 3.Kutajghana Vati 1-0-1 after food 4.Chitrakadi Vati 1-0-1 before food
Pathya (Recommended Diet and Lifestyle):
Warm, freshly cooked, light meals
Include:
Jeera water, ajwain, hing, fennel seeds
Rice gruel (kanji), moong dal soup
Cooked vegetables like bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd
Buttermilk (diluted with water + pinch of hing)
Cow ghee in small quantity (supports digestion)
Eat at regular timings. Small, frequent meals better than heavy meals.
Chew food properly
Walk for 10–15 minutes after meals
Avoid daytime sleeping and late-night eating
Apathya (Avoid These Foods & Habits):
Cold drinks, chilled water
Spicy, fried, sour foods (lemon, tamarind, pickles)
Raw onion, garlic (for now)
Curd at night
Tea/coffee in excess

Digestive troubles like bloating, acidity, and irregular bowel movements can often stem from imbalances in the digestive fire (agni) and the vitiation of doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. The symptoms you’re describing suggest a potential imbalance in these doshas. Here’s what might help:
1. Diet: Incorporate warm, easy-to-digest foods. Soups, stews, and lightly cooked vegetables can be soothing. Avoid cold, raw foods and excessively spicy or sour items like lemons, which can aggravate Pitta. Consider reducing the intake of legumes, broccoli or cauliflower that cause gas.
2. Spices: Use spices like cumin, fennel, coriander, and ginger in your meals. They can help to stimulate digestion and pacify both Vata and Pitta. A tea made with cumin, coriander, and fennel after meals can be beneficial.
3. Routine: Regular meal timings can help maintain proper digestion. Skipping meals or eating at irregular times could disturb the Agni. Try to have meals at the same time each day.
4. Hydration: Drink lukewarm water throughout the day. Avoid drinking large amounts of water right before or after meals, as it can dilute digestive enzymes.
5. Trifala: Consider taking Triphala at night. It’s a traditional Ayurvedic formulation that can support digestion and promote healthy elimination. Try starting with half a teaspoon mixed in warm water and adjust as needed.
6. Mindful Eating: Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice minimizes bloating by aiding the initial stages of digestion.
7. Stress Management: Stress could heighten digestion problems. Practices like yoga, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises can be helpful in reducing stress.
8. Seek Immediate Care: If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider promptly; some issues may require more immediate attention.
Remember that every individual is unique. Personal modifications and regular consultation with a professional Ayurvedic practitioner are advised for targeted treatment strategies.
It seems you’re experiencing multiple digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, and heartburn, which are signs of imbalances in your digestive system. This combo can often be linked to an imbalance in the pitta and vata doshas as well as agni (digestive fire). Here’s how you can tackle these symptoms using Siddha-Ayurvedic principles:
1. Diet Adjustments: Shift towards a cooling and calming dietary routine to balance the pitta dosha. Avoid spicy, fried, and citrus foods that can aggravate acidity. Include cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Cook your vegetables lightly rather than consuming them raw to ease digestion.
2. Eat Mindfully: Make sure to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. Don’t overeat, and avoid eating during stressful times. Aim for small, frequent meals rather than large, heavy ones to align with natural digestion rhythms and reduce bloating.
3. Herbal Support: Certain herbs can help in balancing your doshas. Take triphala powder before bed with warm water to support regular bowel movements. This traditional formulation assist in detoxification and enhancing the digestive process.
4. Lifestyle Adjustments: Incorporate a daily routine and ensure you get regular exercise like walking or yoga to enhance circulation and digestion. Avoid heavy exercise right after meals to prevent bloating and discomfort.
5. Sleep Pattern: Establish a regular sleep schedule. Good sleep is vital for maintaining healthy digestion. Try to sleep and wake up at the same times daily.
6. Hydration: Consume warm water throughout the day. Sip on herbal teas like ginger or fennel-tea which can help indigestion and reduce bloating.
Keep a notes on your meals and lifestyle habits to identify triggers that might cause flare-ups. Importantly, if your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions like ulcers or other.
