How to reduce chronic excessive Bloating, constipation - #31299

Hello Prerna, I can understand your concern. From your description, this is a chronic digestive imbalance that has persisted for years despite dietary care. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

This chronicity also risks secondary issues like piles, fissure, anxiety, skin problems, or even hormonal imbalance.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Triphala Churna 1 tsp at bed time with warm water – regulates bowels gently, detoxifies colon, improves absorption.

2 Hingvashtak Churna 1 tsp with warm water just before lunch – taken with warm water before meals; relieves gas, bloating, and cramps.

3 Anuloma Ds 1 tab at bed time

4. Isabgol husk with warm milk + ghee at bedtime – only if constipation is very stubborn.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✔️Prefer warm, light, freshly cooked meals – khichdi, dal soups, vegetable stews.

❌Avoid cold, refrigerated, stale, and dry foods (bread, raw salads, excess beans, maida, packaged foods).

Add 1–2 tsp cow’s ghee daily – lubricates colon, prevents dryness.

Cook food with carminative spices: hing (asafoetida), ajwain, cumin, black pepper, ginger.

Sip warm jeera-ajwain water or ginger tea through the day.

Eat at regular timings, avoid late-night meals.

✅LIFESTYLE AND DAILY ROUTINE

👉Abhyanga (oil massage): Apply warm sesame oil on abdomen + soles of feet, followed by gentle fomentation. This calms Vata and reduces cramps.

Yoga & Breathing: Pawanmuktasana Vajrasana after meals (5–10 minutes) Bhujangasana, Malasana (squat pose) for colon stimulation Anulom-Vilom Pranayama for Vata balance. Hydration: Warm water through the day, avoid iced drinks Sleep regulation: Try to sleep before 11 pm; poor sleep worsens digestion.

✅DETOX AND PANCHAKRMA (if available)

For long-standing cases like yours, internal detox helps: 👉Sneha Basti (medicated oil enema) – the most effective therapy for Vata-related constipation & bloating. 👉Virechana (therapeutic purgation) – removes accumulated Pitta & Ama, resets digestion.

✅ What to Expect with Consistent Care

Within 2–3 weeks: relief in bloating, easier passage of stools, reduced cramps. Within 2–3 months: bowel habits become regular, digestion feels lighter, energy improves.

Your condition reflects chronic Vata imbalance with weak digestion. The solution is not just fiber but strengthening Agni + Vata pacification

Wish you a good health😊

Warm. Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO PRERNA,

In Ayurveda, your symptoms of bloating, gas that doesn’t pass, constipation, and cramps are mainly due to an imbalance of Vata dosha (the energy if movement and air in the body)

Vata controls bowel movement. when it gets obstructed or aggravated , stools become dry, hard, and difficult to pass

Agni (digestive fire) may be weak, leading to Ama (undigested toxic matter). This ama blocks the normal downward movement of vata-> gas gets trapped, bloating worsens, and constipation occurs

Fiber helps, but if digestion is weak, even healthy food can create gas. That’s why you may feel worse despite eating “right”

TREATMENT GOALS -Improve agni (digestive fire)-> so food digests completely no toxic residue forms -reduce ama(toxins)-> so the intestines are clear and functional -pacify vata dosha-> restore the natural downward movement for smooth elimination -relieve symptoms-> bloating, cramps, constipation -long term balance-> prevent recurrence by diet, lifestyle and strengthening digestion

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime-> gentle bowel regulator, clears toxins

2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals =reduces bloating, aids digestion

3) AVIPATTTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water after meals if acidity with constipation persist

4) ERANDA TAILA= 2 tsp with warm milk at night twice/week =clears intestines, relieves hard constipation

EXTERNAL AYURVEDIC REMEDIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= daily warm sesame oil on the abdomen and whole body =pacifies vata, relaxes intestiens

DIET -warm, cooked, light meals -soups, khichdi , stewed veggies -well cooked moong dal, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, spinach, carrots, zucchini -spices to aid digestion= ajwain, hing, cumin, fennel, ginger, black pepper -warm water or herbal teas- ginger, fennel, cumin coriander fennel blend -ghee in moderate amounts-> lubricates intestines, prevents dryness

AVOID -cold, raw, dry foods -salads, crackers, excess raw fruits -gas producing vegetables- cauliflower, cabbage, beans, broccoli -excess wheat, refined flour, bakery foods -carbonates drinks, ice water, excessive tea/coffee

LIFESTYLE AND DAILY ROUTINE -eat at regular times, don’t skip meals -chew thoroughly eat slowly -don’t lie down immediately after meals; walk gently for 10-15 minutes -sleep early and wake up early; irregular sleep worsens vata -gentle abdominal massage with sesame oil before bath

YOGA ASANAS(improves digestion and relieves trapped gas) -pawanmuktasana -vajrasana -ardha matsyendrasana -setu band hasana

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= balances vata -bhramari= calms nerves, reduces stress

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Ajwain + black salt= chew 1/2 tsp after meals for gas relief -Warm water with lemon + ginger in the morning = stimulates digestion -Soaked raisins at night= natural mild laxative -A pinch of hing in warm water= relieves boating

-your condition is mainly vata imbalance with weak agni -focus on improving digestion, reducing dryness, pacifying vata rather than just adding more fiber -Ayurveda emphasizes gentle correction- it may take a few weeks to months, but results are long lasting

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
