Hello, Thank you for detailing the symptoms and mentioning the recent reports. As the issue is since more than 10 years it may require long term treatment and diet-lifestyle adjustments.

Diet and lifestyle changes: 1. Chew your food properly(do not engage in talking during having your meals) 2. Avoid raw food completely. Consume freshly cooked warm food prepared at home. 3. Avoid meat for dinner; and avoid all red meat. 4. Avoid deep fried-reheated/refrigerated-spicy-aerated food in your diet 5. Avoid milk and curds(buttermilk and ghee are allowed in moderation) 6. Consume at-least 2 liters of hot to warm water throughout the day by sipping(avoid gulping large quantity of water at once). 7. Let there be a gap of 2 hours between dinner and going to bed. 8. Let your dinner be light(example: 2 roti+ large bowl of subzi). 9. Avoid white table sugar completely. 10. Start practicing yogasana for 35 minutes a day and pranayama for 15 minutes a day without fail and without break.

Medicines:(to start with for 21 days,then after a follow up this need to be changed) 1. Dadimashtaka choorna tea 1 cup after each meal 2. Vayu gulika with medicine no.1

Take care, Kind regards

Your symptoms, spanning over a decade, indicate an imbalance primarily in the Vata and Pitta doshas. The digestive issues coupled with mental tension like anxiety and anger suggest an aggravated Pitta, while the bloating, gas, and incomplete bowel movements are typical of Vata imbalance. Since you’re already following an Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle, let’s dive into some specific adjustments to balance these doshas.

First, enhancing your agni is essential to address the digestive discomfort and facilitate nutrient absorption more effectively. Consider incorporating Triphala at night, about 1 teaspoon with warm water, as its mild laxative properties can help with bowel regularity without aggravating Pitta. It’s also crucial to balance your meal intake with more grounding and cooling foods – increase your intake of cooked, easily digestible foods like rice and khichdi.

To address the acidic sensations, cumin and coriander tea (1 tsp seeds boiled in water, sipped warm) can be an effective remedy. Include aloe vera juice, its cooling properties, about 1-2 tablespoons on an empty stomach each morning, can soothe Pitta and aid digestion.

Mental stress and anger can exacerbate gut issues. Daily meditation or pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana, might bring calmness and provide focus. Evening self-massage (abhyanga) with sesame oil can help pacify Vata and encourage more restful sleep.

For dry scalp and skin, regular oil application using coconut oil can be beneficial. Include Ghee in your diet; it nourishes body tissues and supports the digestive process.

The presence of H. pylori indicates the need for a more targeted approach. You should continue working with healthcare specialists to monitor and potentially eradicate the infection.

These recommendations aim to create balance, but continue regular consultations with a healthcare provider to tailor and adjust care as needed.

Chronic gut issues like you’re experiencing often tie back to imbalances in vata and pitta doshas, with agni or digestive fire being significantly affected. The symptoms like acid reflux, bloating, and incomplete bowel movements suggest aggravated pitta, while symptoms like dry skin, dry scalp, anxiety, and weight loss indicate vata imbalance.

First, address the diet. Eating small, frequent meals can help stabilize agni. Start with a warm, cooked breakfast that includes easy-to-digest grains like oatmeal or rice. Avoid foods that are too spicy, oily, or sour, as these can aggravate both vata and pitta. Opt for cooling and grounding foods — think cucumbers, buttermilk (diluted), and ghee. Include herbs like cumin, coriander, and fennel in your cooking to aid digestion and reduce acidity.

Triphala churna can aid in regulating bowel movements and detoxifying the gut. Take 1/2 teaspoon with warm water before bed. Another helpful formulation is Avipattikar Churna, which can help address acid reflux and bloating — 1/2 teaspoon before meals can stabilize pitta.

Practicing breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can calm both the mind and body, reduce stress, and balance vata. Spend 10 minutes daily on this to help with anxiety and angry outbursts.

Due to your H. pylori diagnosis, it’s critical to work closely with a healthcare provider on an appropriate treatment plan, which may include antibiotics. Ayurvedic formulations should complement medical treatment, not replace it.

Your symptoms like RBC in the stool and weight loss, merit close attention. Ensure you seek regular help from a healthcare provider to monitor these. Balancing your doshas, stabilizing agni, and following a structured lifestyle with professional guidance can help manage this complex set of symptoms.
