HELLO LAXMI,
Your symptoms MIXED-TYPE irritable bowel syndrome, where both onstipation and diarrhoea alternate, along with bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. You also mention excessive burping, feeling of incomplete evacuation, and lower back cramps. These are classic IBS- related issues, but the pattern also shows some digestive fire imbalance, and possibly vata-kapha aggravation, with mild pitta involvement due to occasional diarrhoea
Your symptoms are consistent with “GRAHANI ROGA” in Ayurveda- a dysfunction of the small intestine where digestion and absorption are compromised. The underlying Doshi involvement is Vata-Kpaha predominant IBS with occasional pitta aggravation (diarrhoea episodes) -Vata is responsible for irregular bowel movement, burping, gas and cramps -kapha is causing sluggish digestion , sense of heaviness and incomplete evacuation -Pitta flare ups may be responsible for loose stools after meals
THE ROOT CAUSE IN AYURVEDA IS -agni mandya(low digestive fire)-leading to ama(toxins) -Apana Vata vitiation= improper downward movement of wastes - Manasika doshas(mind-body link)- stress, anxiety, worry also disturbs vata
TREATMENT GOAL -restore digestive fire - balance vata kapha doshas - cleanse the gut-removes ama and improves motility - prevent stress induced flares - improves absorption and nutrition to restore appetite and strength
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
PHASE 1= DIGESTIVE STRENGTHENING AND AMA PACHANA DURATION= first 2 weeks
1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water after meals twice daily =carminative, relieves bloating and gas strengthens digestive fire
2) AVIPAATIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime =regulates bowel movements, mild detoxifier, balances pitta and supports digestion
3) BILWADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily before meals -especially for regulating post meal urgency and diarrhoea episodes
PHASE 2= STRENGTHENING INTESTINES, CONTROLLING VATA-KAPHA DURATION= next 4-6 weeks
4) KUTAJGHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =controls gut hyper motility, tones intestines, prevents loose stools
5) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals =Balances Vata, relieves pain and cramps, improves bowel tone
6) SARASWATARISHTA= 15 ml with water after meals = supports nervous system, helpful if gut issues are worsened by stress/anxiety
FINAL PHASE= LONG TERM MAINTENANCE DURATION= after 6 weeks of above treatment to long term
7) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =gentle detox, regulates bowel movements, prevents both constipation and diarrhoea
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -eat warm, freshly prepared food only -prefer moong dal khichdi , rice, steamed vegetables, ghee, light soups - use spices like cumin, ginger, ajwain, black pepper , hing- supports digestion
AVOID -cold drinks, raw salads, leftover food - milk and milk products -wheat if bloating persists -excess tea/coffee
INCLUDE -pomegranate, ripe banana, boiled apply –buttermilk with roasted cumin + mint+ rock salt after lunch -jeera ajwain fennel herbal tea
HOME REMEDIES 1) AJWAIN+ ROCK SALT= chew 1 tsp after meals
2) DRY GINGER+BLACK PEPPER+ JAGGERY= small pinch combo before meals
3) FENNEL TEA= after meals to reduce bloating and gas
4) ALOE VERA JUICE= 15 ml empty stomach in morning= helpful in gut healing
YOGA ASANA(30mins daily) -Pawanmuktasana= relieves gas and bloating -apanasana= helps with evacuation -Setu Bandhasana= Balances Vata, calms nervous system -vajrasana after meals= aids digestion
PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana=Balances Vata pittta -sheetali=cools pitta -bhrmari= calms anxiety related bowel urgency
LIFESTYLE TIPS -fixed meal times, avoid skipping meals - don’t eat when anxious or distracted -avoid late night eating, heavy dinners - stay warm especially abdomen and feet - avoid excessive sitting, ensure mild movement post meals
FINAL WORDS IBS is chronic but manageable through consistent care. The key is -strengthening digestion -avoid toxin buildup -managing stress and erratic lifestyle -avoiding foods that increase vata kapha -regular detox and bowel balancing
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Mixed IBS symptoms like the ones you’re describing — ranging from gas and incomplete evacuation to urgency and diarrhea — often highlight an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. A key step in managing this condition is addressing the dysregulated Agni, or digestive fire.
First, focus on stabalizing your Agni by adopting a regular eating schedule. Consume light, easily digestible meals at consistent times each day to help regulate digestion and reduce symptoms. Start with a warm breakfast that includes rice porridge or lightly spiced oatmeal. Adding fresh ginger or cumin can enhance digestion and alleviate gas.
Hydration is crucial but avoid cold beverages. Sip warm water throughout the day to support your digestive process. Adding a teaspoon of fennel seeds after meals may help with bloating and burping.
Specific herbs, such as triphala, might help regulate bowel movements and provide relief. Consider taking half a teaspoon of triphala powder mixed with warm water before bed. Its mild laxative effect can support more complete evacuation in the morning.
For your cramps and back discomfort, a gentle self-massage with warm sesame oil can be beneficial. Apply it to the lower back and abdomen, using circular motions, before showering. This practice balances Vata and soothes muscles.
Dietary triggers like caffeine, deep-fried, or excessively spicy foods should be limited as they can exacerbate Pitta. It’s also advisable to refrain from raw foods during this period, focusing instead on well-cooked, simpler meals.
If your symptoms persist or escalate, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider to ensure no serious underlying conditions require attention. Always listen closely to your body and prioritize adjustments that resonate with your individual experiences.
Dear Laxmi, It shows poor digestion. Take tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 , will improve your digestion . Tablet Kutaj ghanvati 1-0-1 after food with water Tablet Gasex 1-0-1 after food with water Avoid wheat and wheat products Avoid milk, and milk products, but can take buttermilk with pinch of asafoetida+ Rock salt+ roasted jeera powder after lunch daily. Avoid nonveg, spicy fried foods.
hello agrawal, ou are experiencing symptoms like gas, incomplete evacuation, repeated urge to pass stools (especially after meals), bloating, burping, lower back cramps, and low appetite. This reflects a disturbance in your digestive fire (Agni) and an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas. When digestion is weak, food does not get fully processed and creates Ama (toxins). These toxins irritate the intestines and disturb the natural downward movement of Vata (Apana Vata), leading to urgency, cramps, gas, and sometimes loose motion. This condition is known in Ayurveda as Grahani, and your subclinical hypothyroid state may have weakened your Agni further.
Internal Medicines: Agnitundi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily before meals Kutajghan Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr.Karthika
Chitrakadi vati-one tablet to be chewed three times daily Kutaja ghan vati-one tablet, twice daily to be taken if you have loose tools Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with warm water at night Drink butter, milk with roasted cumin powder, and black salt Avoid spicy, oily fried fermented processed food
Don’t worry Laxmi, Start taking1.Bilwa choorna 1tsf with lukewarm water twice in a day. 2.Kutajghanvati 1-0-1 if you have loose stool. 3.Grahnikapat ras1-0-1 Daily drink a glass of buttermilk just after having meal twice in a day. Follow up after 30 days… You’ll definitely get desired results…
It is condition wherein the digestive fire (Agni) becomes weak or impaired. The complete nutrition of body occurs by the end products of digestion. So when digestive fire becomes weak, it leads to the production of Ama (toxin) and also there is less production of nutrients. So in Ayurveda, Agni has been given prime importance, as it is the cause for health and disease.

Your symptoms indicate a classic case of mixed IBS, where irregular bowel movements and digestive issues are combined with discomfort. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this could be related to an imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas, affecting your digestive fire (agni).
First, let’s focus on diet and eating habits. Begin your day with warm water. This simple act can help clear your bowels and stimulate digestion. Avoid cold drinks and foods as they can aggravate Vata. Eat freshly cooked, easy-to-digest meals, ideally at regular intervals, ensuring there’s enough gap between meals for digestion. Ghee can be a good addition - try taking a teaspoon with your meal to help balance digestion and aid in bowel movements.
Regarding spices, gentle ones like cumin, coriander, and turmeric can enhance your digestion. A little pinch of hing (asafoetida) added to your food can be particularly helpful for reducing gas and bloating. Curbing your intake of foods known to cause gas, such as beans and cabbage, would also be wise.
Your current symptoms can also benefit from lifestyle adjustments. Regular, moderate exercise — like a morning walk or gentle yoga — can help in regulating your bowels. Pay attention to stress levels, as stress can significantly impact IBS symptoms. Practice deep breathing exercises or meditation daily to keep your mind calm.
Consider using triphala at bedtime; it’s a classical ayurvedic formulation known for aiding digestion and regularizing bowel movements. Take it with warm water or ghee, with caution, starting slow to see how it impacts you.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods as these can increase your symptoms. Finally, if symptoms are persistently severe or worsening, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider who can offer personalized care based on a thorough examination. You should have a professional assess any lower back pain to rule out non-digestive causes.
