Hello Vedant, I can understand how difficult and exhausting this prolonged digestive and emotional struggle must be for you.i can understand what kind of emotional pain you must be going through. Your symptoms suggest a interaction between your gut (IBS with antral gastritis) and your mental health (stress, depression, mood issues) — this is often referred to as the gut-brain axis imbalance. Gut and brain are strongly associated as GUT BRAIN AXIS. but dont worry we are here to help you out😊 ✅ HEALING STARTS FROM WITHIN SO KEEP A TRUST ON AYURVEDA, HAVE A BELIEVE IN YOURSELF THAT YOU WILL COME OUT OF THIS STRONGLY 😊 ✔️Start with following as early as possible ✅Immediate Care (To calm aggravated Pitta and Vata) ❌Avoid: Spicy, oily, heavy, acidic foods, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, late-night meals.

Hello vedant, Which Allopathic, Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines did you take?

hello Vedant , I truly understand you're going through a lot physically and emotionally and it’s been a long, exhausting journey for you. From what you've described, this is a classic case of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) with predominant gut-brain axis imbalance worsened by chronic antral gastritis. The root cause seems to be a mix of weak digestive fire (mandagni), vishama vata, emotional sensitivity, and ama (toxins) accumulated over years. Your system is reacting strongly to even mild triggers like emotions, and this indicates that both physical digestion and mental processing (manas and agni) are disturbed. You're right healing here isn’t just about digestion; it’s about resetting the gut-mind connection patiently and gently. Your digestion is like a disturbed machine it starts working slightly, then overreacts, then crashes again. Due to stress and emotional overload, your nervous system keeps telling your gut to act up. This keeps the stomach irritated, acid-producing, and weak in processing food, even if you’re eating the lightest food like khichdi. The uneasiness, pain after eating, and incomplete bowel emptying are due to this imbalance of your gut-brain coordination. Even sleep, mood, energy all get affected. Your system doesn’t need heavy medicines now it needs reset and calm. Investigations (If not recently done) CBC, CRP, Vitamin D & B12 TSH, Cortisol (to assess endocrine role in chronic fatigue and stress) Stool routine + calprotectin (to reconfirm non-inflammatory IBS) Serum serotonin (if available) – optional Psychological evaluation if mood is worsening (don’t hesitate; support helps) Treatment Plan Step 1: Ama Pachana (First 5 days) Shunthi Churna (Dry Ginger powder) – ¼ tsp with warm water before meals – twice a day Bilwadi Churna – ½ tsp after food with warm water – twice a day Light meals like yavagu (rice gruel), moong dal soup, pomegranate Step 2: Digestive and Gut Healing Medications (Continue after 5 days) Avipattikara Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (relieves burning and acidity) Kutajghan Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food (for bowel regulation and gut lining repair) Sutshekhar Ras (Plain) – 1 tab morning and evening after meals with honey or water Manasamitra Vatakam – 1 tab at bedtime with milk (supports gut-brain axis, calmness) Sip warm water every 1-2 hours Practice Nadi Shodhana Pranayama twice daily (10–15 minutes) Try short walks in fresh air after food Avoid complete isolation—talk gently with someone daily Start Ashwagandha 250 mg once daily at bedtime (if not acidic that day) Do you wake up at night due to abdominal pain or urgency? Do you feel better when distracted or while traveling (away from home)? You can recover with the right approach that heals both digestion and emotions. Don't carry this burden alone you're not failing. You just need time, care, and consistency. Your body is asking for balance, not punishment. You’ll get betterstep by step. Regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO VEDANT, You are suffering from two interconnected digestive disorders 1) ANTRAL GASTRITIS (Amlapitta- pittaj type) -the antrum is the lower part of your stomach. When its lining gets inflamed , you feel burning, pain when hungry, and fire like sensation after eating. -it occurs because Pitta dosha is aggravated. This excess digestive acid starts harming the lining instead of digesting food. 2) IBS- Irritable bowel syndrome -In Ibs, the digestive fire becomes unstable- sometimes too fast (causing loose motion), sometimes too slow (causing constipation) -It also causes undigested food, gas, pain, frequent urge to pass stools especially under stress or emotions -this is vata-pitta imbalance with a disturbed gut-brain connection 3) MIND- GUT AXIS DISTURBANCE -constant stresss, anxiety, depression, and fear create a loop where the mind disturbs the gut and vice versa. -ayurveda explains this as an imbalance in Rajas (agitation, fear) and Tamas (depression, lethargy) -You sweat more, feel tired, and emotionally exhausted because Vata is too high and Ojas (vital energy) is low. TREATMENT GOALS -reduce acidity, burning -stabilise digestion -regulate bowel -calm mind, reduce stress -repair gut lining -reconnect mind-gut INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) KAMDUDHA RAS (MOTI YUKTA)= 1 tab twice daily after meals =strong coolant, reduces pitta, stops burning 2) SUTSEKHAR RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals =for acid control, nausea, pain 3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm water =gentle detox + clears pitta from gut 4) BILVADI GULIKA= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =astringent + digestive tonic for IBS 5) KUTAJ GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =controls loose motion, inflammation 6) SHANKHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =gas, bloating, heaviness 7) JATAMANSI CHURNA + ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp each in warm milk at night =calms nervous system, improves sleep and stress DURATION= minimum 2-3 months continuous, then reassess DIET PLAN GEENERALLY -eat warm, soft, simple, and cooked food -stick to regular meal timimngs -avoid raw, sour, spicy, fermented or cold food INCLUDE -moong dal khichdi with ghee -bottlegourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd cooked -rice, old wheat, jowar in small amounts -cow ghee 1 tsp per meal-heals gut -jeera, fennel, ajwain, coriander in cooking -fresh buttermilk diluted, not curd AVOID -tea, coffee, green tea -curd especially at night -pickles, papad, fried food -tomato, tamrind, lemon, amchur -reheated food -processed food/outside food YOGA ASANA -pawanmuktasana= release gas -vajrasana= sit after food -supta baddha konasana -balasana -setubandhasana Practice slowly, 15-20 mins daily, early morning or evening PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana- balances vata and pitta -bhramari- calms nervous system -sheetali/sheetkari= cools internal fire -ujjayi- for better focus HOME REMEDIES 1) CUMIN-FENNEL-CORIANDER TEA -1 tsp each in 1 litre water-> boil -> sip warm through the day ->supports digestion, reduces gas and inflammation 2) ALOE VERA JUICE (non-sour variety)- 20 ml on empty stomach -> soothes gastric lining, helps ulcers 3) LICOROCE + AMLA + GUDUCHI= 1 tsp powder each -> boil in 2 cups water -> reduce to 1 cup -> drink once/day for gut lining healing 4) ROASTED AJWAIN + BLACK SALT + GHEE= after meals -> aids digestion, reduces vata INVESTIGATIONS TO CONSIDER -CBC, CRP, ESR (basic inflammation markers) -H. pylori test (gastritis related bacteria ) -vitamin b12, d3 (often deficient to IBS) -thyroid profile -stool routine + occult blood (if symptoms worsen) -endoscopy LIFESTYLE TIPS -wake up by 6-6:30 AM -Avoid overthinking, excessive screen use -No talking while eating- eat in silence or calm -Take sunlight daily for 15-20 mins -Sleep by 10 PM -Avoid suppressing urges (gas, urine, stool) -Use copper vessel water, avoid fridge water VEDANT, your body and mind are clearly to weak- they are asking for deep reset, not just symptom suppression.you have tried hard, and now it's time to follow a structural system that treats you as a whole human- not as a collection of symptoms. This will not be a "quick fix"- but if you give 3 to 6 months with sincere efforts, the changes can be life-changing PLEASE REMEMBER -your life force (Ojas) is low but not lost -IBS, gastritis and anxiety all stem from digestive and nervous imbalance- Ayurveda specialises in correcting this -you can heal. But you need a disciplined, loving daily routine- not complicated- just consistent. DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
