HELLO KIRANMAYEE,
Resetting gut health naturally- especially with a focus on Ayurvedic management- is possible but requires a multi-pronged approach. since you are diabetic and 52 years old, care must b taken to avoid foods or remedies that could disrupt blood sugar balance.
You’re experiencing -bloating -indigestion -poor response to home cooked food -change in curd now sour - switch to desi cow milk
These point to possible ama(toxins) accumulation, agni(digestive fire) imbalance, and vata-pitta disturbance, common in mid-life and with diabetes
NATURAL AND AYURVEDIC APPROACH TO RESET GUT HEALTH
1) REKINDLE DIGESTIVE FIRE Support better digestion before fixing the microbiome
-Jeera-ajwain-sauf mic= dry roast and grind in equal parts. chew 1/2 tsp after meals
-Ginger infusion= boil water with fresh ginger slices and sip warm throughout the day
-Trikatu churna= take 1/4 tsp with honey before meals
2) VATA-PITTA BALANCING FOR BLOATING
-avoid cold, raw foods, prefer warm, cooked, spiced meals -use hing, cumin, and fennel in cooking -buttermilk- blend 1 part fresh curd with 3 parts water, churn well, add pinch of black salt, roasted jeera. drink post lunch
3) GUT HEALING FOODS -mild khichdi detox for 3-5 days. use moong dal + rice+cumin + ginger + turmeric -add ghee 1 tsp per meal to lubricate intestines and support gut lining -avoid heavy sour curd at night- use fresh curd at lunch only or switch to diluted buttermilk -fermented foods- light- kanji (fermented carrot drink), homemade pickled ginger
4) WHAT TO AVOID -sour/stale curd -refined sugars especially for diabetes -cold drinks, raw salads -excess lentils/beans without spices -wheat heavy diet if bloating is severe try millets like kodo, barnyard in moderation
5) AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS
-Avipattikar churna= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals for hyperacidity and indigestion
-Hingwastaka churna= 1/2 tsp with ghee after meals great for vata related bloating
-Triphala churna= 1 tsp with warm water before bed for gentle detox at night
6) LIFESTYLE SUPPORT -Daily oil massage- use warm coconut oil before bath -walk after meals= 20-25 minutes it will help digestion -reduce stress = bloating and gut health are tightly linked to nervous system
IMPORTANT NOTES -stick to desi cow milk only if it suits you and boil it properly -if Sour curd feels too heavy, discontinue for now. buttermilk Is easier on digestion -monitor blood sugar during any diet changes
THANK YOU

Hlw Kiranmayee ji,
Digestive issues like bloating, indigestion, and gut imbalance—despite eating homemade food—can be rooted in deeper Agni (digestive fire) imbalances in Ayurveda. At age 52, Vata tends to dominate, which can aggravate digestion if not properly managed.
Treatment:
1, Triphala Churna 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime 2, Hingwashtak Churna ½ tsp before meals with warm water or ghee 3. Avipattikar Churna 1 tsp before lunch/dinner 4. Kutajghan Vati 1 tab twice daily 5. Takra (buttermilk) with roasted jeera, rock salt, mint Daily after lunch Powerful gut-friendly probiotic 6. Guduchi (Giloy) powder ½ tsp with honey or warm water
Diet Tips (Ahara):
Avoid sour curd (especially at night) – switch to fresh buttermilk. Take light, warm, cooked meals – avoid raw salads at night. Use digestive spices: jeera, saunf, hing, ajwain, dry ginger.
Avoid: cold foods, fried snacks, carbonated drinks, reheated food. Prefer: mung dal khichdi, cooked vegetables, rice, ghee, soups.
Lifestyle & Routines (Vihara):
Eat at fixed times, don’t skip meals. Morning warm water with lemon and a pinch of salt. Walk for 15–20 minutes after meals. Avoid daytime sleeping, especially after me
Thank you!

Hello,
At this age, digestive enzyme production decrease and gut issues will develop. Fermented foods like sour curd may not be well tolerated if gut bacteria are out of balance. Curd at night may worsen bloating and indigestion due to slower night time digestion.
1. Dhanwantaram kashaya 15 ml + 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Ashtachoornam 1 tsp with buttermilk at lunch time with food. 3. Triphala choornam 1 tsp at night with ghee. { this is good for both diabetic and gut issue }
Convert the food preparation to ghee and natural coconut oil is good. Refined oil will also make problems.
Chew food thoroughly. Walk for 10–15 mins after meals. Include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Regular exercises and stress relief yogas will also help you to get rid of this condition.
Don’t worry, Avoid excessive spicy,bitter food,pea,brinjal,cauliflower etc. And start taking1.Kbir liverzyme syp. 20ml with equal amount of Lukewarm water just after having meal twice in a day. 2.Dhanvantaram gullika 2-0-2 3.Shankh vati 1-1-1 You’ll definitely get relief 😌 Follow up after 30 days.

To reset your gut health naturally, a focused Ayurvedic approach can be beneficial. Bloating and indigestion often arise from an imbalance in Vata dosha or weak agni (digestive fire). Let’s explore some actionable steps grounded in Ayurveda:
First, consider your current diet and its compatibility with your dosha; for Vata imbalances, warm, moist, and easy-to-digest foods are key. Favor cooked grains like basmati rice and quinoa, sweet and juicy fruits, starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, and well-cooked greens. With dairy, ensure it’s fresh and ideally consumed warm, like warm milk with a pinch of cinnamon and cardamom, which can calm Vata.
Sour curd can aggravate bloating and indigestion for some people. It might help to switch to buttermilk (takra) made by diluting yogurt with water and adding a pinch of cumin and rock salt. This combination is considered tridoshic, balancing for all body types, and helps digest food better.
Focusing on enhancing Agni is crucial. Consider drinking a cup of ginger tea before meals, as ginger is a natural digestive stimulant. Consistency here is essential, and fresh ginger can also be added to your cooking for the same effect.
Regular meal times and portion control also play a significant role. Eat at the same time each day and avoid overeating, which can overload the digestive system and lead to bloating. Aim for smaller, more frequent meals that allow the body to process food efficiently.
Lifestyle adjustments, like practicing yoga, can aid in digestion. Poses like Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) or Marjariasana (Cat-Cow Pose) are gentle and can be incredibly effective for stimulating digestion and relieving bloating.
Lastly, ensure adequate hydration. Drink warm water throughout the day rather than cold, and add herbs like cumin, coriander, or fennel to water; this can further enhance digestion and detoxify.
If these symptoms persist despite these interventions, it would be best to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to identify any deeper imbalances or underlying issues.
To address bloating and indigestion from an Ayurvedic perspective, we need to look at your agni, which is your body’s digestive fire. When agni is impaired, it often leads to incomplete digestion and the formation of toxins, or ama. Even if you’re consuming what seems like healthy food, improper digestion can lead to issues like bloating.
First, let’s consider the milk and curd intake. Desi cow milk is generally easier to digest, but make sure the milk is boiled and consumed warm, preferably with a pinch of turmeric or ginger, to enhance digestion. If the curd is sour, it might exacerbate bloating. Instead, opt for fresh buttermilk spiced with a bit of cumin and a small piece of fresh ginger.
Meals should be regular and consistent. Try not to skip meals or eat at irregular times, as this can disturb your digestive rhythm. Ensure that your meals are balanced according to your dosha. Since you’re experiencing bloating and indigestion, these might be signs of vata imbalance. Favor foods that are warm, moist, and mildly spiced.
Incorporating fasting or light meals one day a week can help rest the digestive system and rekindle agni. Begin meals with a small piece of freshly grated ginger with a few drops of lime and a pinch of salt - this prepares your agni for digestion. Avoid reheated or excessively oily, spicy, and heavy foods.
Be cautious about consuming cold or fermented foods, as they can dampen agni, leading to further issues. You might consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for panchakarma—especially therapies like vamana or virechana, which can help cleanse and rejuvenate the digestive system.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider. Monitoring the response to dietary changes can guide further adjustments, ensuring a balanced approach to restoring gut health naturally.
