helllo aashish ,
I understand how exhausting it must feel to deal with IBS, constant bloating, frequent bowel movements, acidity, and allergic rhinitis, especially when these issues persist for a long time. It’s normal to feel stressed and anxious about your digestion and daily comfort. In Ayurveda, we approach this by looking at the root causes rather than just the symptoms:
IBS and bloating often occur due to imbalance in Vata and Pitta in the digestive system, irregular digestion, or accumulated toxins (Ama). Allergic rhinitis happens when the immune system is overreactive, often due to excess Kapha and Ama affecting nasal passages and respiratory tract.
Frequent bowel movements and acidity indicate that the digestive fire (Agni) is weak and not processing food properly.
Before starting treatment, I’d like to understand a bit more: How are your bowel movements—consistency, urgency, any mucus? Appetite—do you feel hungry at usual times or irregularly? Sleep—are you able to rest well? Stress or triggers that worsen bloating or rhinitis?
Once we have this information, we can proceed with a treatment plan that is gentle and progressive.
Treatment Plan:
Step 1 – Ama Pachana (Detoxifying Digestive Cleanser) – 3–5 days Triphala Churna: 3 g with warm water at night before sleep – gently clears toxins, improves bowel regularity, reduces bloating.
Step 2 – Internal Medicines (After Ama Pachana) SNA Khadiraarishtam: 15–30 ml twice daily after meals – reduces acidity, gas, and improves digestion. Avipattikar Churna: 3–5 g before bedtime – corrects acidity and strengthens digestive fire. Sitopaladi Churna or Talisadi Churna: 1–2 g twice daily – helps reduce mucus, supports respiratory health, and controls allergic rhinitis. Trikatu Churna: 1 g with warm water before meals – stimulates digestion and metabolism.
Step 3 – External and Lifestyle Measures Eat small, warm, cooked meals; avoid raw, cold, oily, or fermented foods. Avoid tea, coffee, and cold drinks during bloating periods. Take gentle walks after meals to support digestion. Use a saline nasal rinse or warm steam during rainy season to reduce rhinitis symptoms. Practice pranayama (deep breathing exercises) for 10–15 min daily to reduce stress and improve respiratory health.
Investigations (if needed) Stool test for any infection or malabsorption. H. pylori testing if not done recently. Allergy testing to identify triggers for rhinitis.
Do’s & Don’ts Take medicines at same time daily. Eat warm, light, easy-to-digest meals. Avoid raw salads, cold drinks, fried and spicy foods. Drink warm water throughout the day. Practice gentle yoga and pranayama daily. Sleep properly and maintain a regular schedule. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excess tea/coffee. Avoid dusty or damp environments during rainy season. Keep a symptom journal for bowel movements, bloating, and rhinitis. Follow medicine course consistently and do not stop midway.
If you follow this plan consistently, your digestion will improve, bloating and gas will reduce, bowel movements will normalize, and allergic rhinitis symptoms will become milder. Ayurveda works gradually, addressing the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
After 20–25 days, review bowel movements, appetite, sleep, and allergy symptoms. Adjust medicines or doses if needed.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Addressing IBS and digestive concerns, it seems there’s an imbalance in your digestive fire, or “Agni.” An overactive movement of the bowels points to a Vata imbalance as well. To manage these issues, first focus on a regular eating schedule, favouring freshly cooked, warm, and easy-to-digest meals. Start with a grounding breakfast like warm oatmeal with ghee. Avoid raw and cold foods, as they can disturb Vata further.
Include spices like cumin, coriander, fennel, and ajwain in your meals, which aid digestion and reduce bloating. It’s beneficial to sip on warm water throughout the day. For bloating and gas, after meals, try taking Triphala in warm water at night. It acts as a gentle cleanser and helps balance Vata and Kapha.
Acidity suggests a Pitta imbalance; avoid spicy, fried, and acidic foods that can exacerbate symptoms. Coconut water and aloe vera juice might soothe your stomach. Fennel tea is beneficial—it calms the digestive system and can be taken after meals.
Given the frequency of bowel movements, ensure hydration. Herbal teas like ginger can help in maintaining digestive health. Practicing yoga postures like Pawanmuktasana may alleviate gas and improve digestion.
For allergic rhinitis, especially during rainy season, Nasya with Anu tailam every morning can help clear nasal passages. During this season, avoid cold and fermented foods which might trigger reactions. Strengthening immunity with Chyawanprash taken daily can also be beneficial.
It is always advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new treatment to ensure it aligns with your unique body constitution and current state. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
HELLO ASHISH,
You are having IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) with symptoms like -gas, bloating even without food -going to washroom 4-5 times a day -acidity, indigestion -seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis) -migraine - headache problem linked with digestion and stress
In A Ayurveda, this is due to weak digestion + imbalance of vata (gas, irregular motion), Pitta (acidity, migraine), Kapha (allergy in rainy season) When food does not digest properly, it creates “Ama” (toxins)-> causing bloating, gas, loose stools/urgency , acidity, and even triggering sinus/migraine
TREATMENT GOALS -Strengthen agni (digestive fire)- so food digests well -Remove ama(toxins)- to reduce gas, bloating, heaviness -Balance vata-pitta- kapha= to control frequent stools, acidity, and allergies -Improve Gut- Mind connection- since stress worsens IBS and migraine -Prevent recurrence- with lifestyle, diet and home remedies

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
To address your IBS symptoms and digestion issues like gas, bloating, and frequent bowel movements, a focus on the Vata dosha, which governs movement in the body, is essential. When imbalanced—often due to erratic diets or stress—it can lead to these digestive problems.
Firstly, consider the diet. Regular meals, especially warm, cooked foods like oatmeal, rice, and soups, help calm Vata. Avoid raw and cold items as much as possible. Favor spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel that aid digestion and reduce gas. Drink warm water through the day; it’s gentle on your stomach and can ease digestion.
For yoga, postures like “Pawanmuktasana” (Wind-Relieving Pose) may be beneficial to relieve gas and bloating.
Regarding allergic rhinitis, especially noted in the rainy seasons, this corresponds with a Kapha imbalance. You might try steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil or a pinch of turmeric in hot water gurgle. Also, consuming honey can be helpful in balancing Kapha. If turmeric suits you, consider turmeric milk in the evening for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
During the rainy reason, it’s helpful to avoid dairy, fried, and overly sweet or salty foods which can aggravate Kapha. Maintain consistency in sleep patterns, reducing exposure to humidity.
If these symptoms persist or worsen, visiting a healthcare professional is important because chronic conditions can lead to another long-term health concerns. Please ensure to touch base with a practitioner if you notice things don’t improve with these measures.
