Hello team, My age is 44, and i am from Hyderabad, I am going to GERD issues since long time but realized very late. As soon as i eat i used to feel bloating, slow digestion. my stomach was always full of gas. Few mistakes what i did was taking heavy amla, wheat grass, and citric juices, and also ash guard juices. I has my Umbilical HERNIA open surgery operation in 2023. Now I lost weight from 69 to 64, and muscle & thighs loss, hormonal imbalance and become lean. I wasn't sure whether whether it was kidneys problems or liver or gall bladder or pancreas issues so I recently did my Master health check up and everything seems to be good but below are few highlights of the master check up. I also did Hpylori test: which is +ve T3 is 0.76ng/ML, T4 is 8.4 ug/dL and TSH is 0.17 uIU/ML S Creatine is 1.2 mg/dL HbA1C is 6.1% estimated average is 128 mg/DL LDL is 172 mg/DL Triglycerides 149 mg/dL LDL/HDL Ratio is 4.4 must be less than 3.5 NON HDL Cholesterol is 202 mg/dL Specific Gravitiy is urine(RUE) is 1.025 must be 1.010

Hi Deva,

I can understand your concern.Your symptoms — GERD (acid reflux), IBS, bloating, early fullness, constipation, weight loss, and hormonal imbalance — indicate a combination of weak digestive fire (Mandagni) but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

Since your Helicobacter pylori test is positive, it shows that your stomach lining is inflamed, which further weakens digestion and nutrient absorption.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1️⃣ For GERD, acidity, and H. pylori

Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp before meals with warm water Sutshekhar Ras – 1-0-1 after food Kamdugdha Ras – 1-0-1 after food

2️⃣ For IBS, gas & bloating

Kutajarishta – 20 ml twice a day after food Hingvashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water just before lunch

3️⃣ For appetite, digestion & strength

Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tab twice a day before food Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with milk at bedtime for strength and stress relief

✅ Dietary Guidance (Pathya-Apathya)

✅Include-

Warm, light, cooked food (khichdi, dal-rice, soups) Freshly prepared meals; avoid skipping meals Use cumin, ajwain, black pepper, and hing for digestion 1 tsp cow ghee daily helps pacify acidity Coconut water or warm jeera water between meals

❌Avoid

Cold drinks, tea/coffee, alcohol Fried, spicy, sour foods, tomato, pickles, curd at night Processed food and eating in a hurry Eating when stressed or angry

✅Lifestyle & Stress Management

Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom, Sheetali Pranayama) daily for 10–15 min.

Meditation or light yoga (Pawanmuktasana, Vajrasana after meals).

Sleep 7–8 hours and maintain a regular routine.

Try to manage stress gently — job loss stress can strongly aggravate gut symptoms, so focus on calmness and routine healing.

✅Home Remedies

Morning empty stomach: Drink warm water with a pinch of turmeric + 1 tsp honey. Chew 5–6 Tulsi leaves or drink tulsi-ginger tea.

Take ½ tsp licorice powder (Yashtimadhu) in warm milk for acidity. Take 1 tsp aloe vera juice + 1 tsp amla juice twice a day before meals to cool the stomach.

✅Note

Because H. pylori is positive, complete your antibiotic or triple therapy course if prescribed by your doctor.

This regimen will strengthen your Agni, heal gastric mucosa, improve bowel regularity, and balance stress hormones. 🌿

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Considering your symptoms with GERD and the positive H. pylori test, we need to address your digestive system’s imbalance while being mindful of your recent surgical history. GERD and IBS often relate to agni or digestive fire imbalances in Ayurveda, generally linked to a Pitta imbalance. Here’s a plan that would align with Ayurvedic principles:

Firstly, focus on your diet. Simplify and balance meals, avoid foods that aggravate Pitta like excessively spicy, sour, or salty items, and those you mentioned as rough on your system, like citrus and heavy juices. Instead, opt for easily digestible foods like oatmeal, rice, or well-cooked vegetables. Drinking warm water and consuming ginger tea can aid digestion and esophageal soothing. Try to have meals at regular intervals and avoid late-night eating; give ample time to digest before sleeping.

Given your thyroid levels, balancing hormones through diet and lifestyle could be beneficial. Triphala, an ayurvedic blend of three fruits, taken at night with warm water, might support digestion and detoxification without aggressive cleansing effects. It’s also generally mild enough not to disturb Pitta.

Regarding muscle and weight loss, incorporate high-quality plant proteins like lentils and legumes, and ensure adequate healthy fats from sources like ghee and sesame oil. These can help in nourishing the dhatus and improving overall vitality.

Focus on lifestyle adjustments too. Incorporate stress-reducing practices such as Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can be beneficial in balancing doshas and improving gut health. Ensure adequate rest, and if possible, get gentle exercises like walking or yoga to foster a stronger metabolic state without exerting excess strain.

Your thyroid levels and cholesterol suggest the need for regulat monitoring. In severe or persistent symptoms, don’t delay to seek medical advice. A combination of Ayurveda and conventional medicine can be harmonized for best outcomes. Always check with your healthcare team, especially before starting new herbal supplements or major diet changes, to ensure compatibility with your unique health status.

HELLO DEVA,

1) DOSHA IMBALANCE= PITTA-VATA DOMINANCE -GERD, hyperacidity, bloating -> pitta aggravation -IBS, slow digestion, weight loss, muscle thining-> vata aggravation

KAPHA DERANGEMENT is mild but may contribute to sluggish digestion if present

2) DIGESTIVE FIRE -your agni is weak -> incomplete digestion, bloating, gas, and weight loss

3) AMA (toxins/undigested food) -accumulation in the stomach/intestine-> bloating, heaviness, slow digestion

4) DHATU DEPLETION -muscle and thigh loss-> mamsa dhatu (muscle tissue) and meda dhatu (fat tissue) depletion

TREATMENT GOALS -Digestive healing= improve digestive fire to reduce bloating, gas, and slow digestion -Gut detox and H. pylori management -Pitta vata balance= reduce acidity and calm vata reduce gas, cramps, and muscle loss -Tissue rejuvenation= rebuild muscle an fat tissue -Metabolic and hormonal balance- support thyroid health and lipid metabolism -Strengthen core and immnuity- especially important after hernia surgery -Prevent complication

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for 8 weeks =cleans bowel , reduces bloating, helps mild constipation

2) AVIPAATIKAR CHURNA = 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water for 6 weeeks =helps neutralise acid, strengthens stomach lining

3) KUTAJ GHAN VATI= 500mg twice daily after meals for 6 weeks =improves gut flora, reduces abdominal cramps

4) LICORICE DECOCTION= 1/2 cup twice daily for 4 weeks =reduces irritation from acid and H.pylori inflammation

5) SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk for 8 week =supports thyroid, balance and help rebuild body tissues

6) CHITRAKADI VATI= 1 tab before meals for 4 weeks =stimulates digestion without aggravating acidity

DIET -warm, cooked foods- rice, dal, khichdi , porridge -steamed vegetables= pumpkin, bottle gourd, carrot, zucchini -fruits= pomegranate ,apple, pear cooked or ripe -healthy fats- ghee, olive oil, sesame oil -herbal teas= cumin, fennel, coriander, ginger -small, frequent meals

AVOID -citrus juices, raw amla, wheat grass , acidic juices -coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks, spicy fried foods -heavy, raw salads if bloating is severe

HOME REMEDIES -warm water with 1/2 tsp rock salt in morning-> stimulate digestion -fennel or cumin seeds soaked in water-> reduces gas -licorice decoction-> soothes stomach lining -ginger in small amounts-> improves digestion

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -gentle walking after meals 10-15 mi -avoid lying down immediately after eating -avoid stress, use meditation and relaxation techiques -limit heavy exercise until core strength is restored post surgery

YOGA POSES FOR DIGESTION AND VATA-PITTA BALANCE -pawanmuktasana= relieves gas and bloating -bhujangasana= strengthens abdominal muscles -setu bandhasana= córę stregnthening -supta baddha konasana= relaxes digestive system

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata and Pitta -Bhraamri= calms nervous system and stress related gut issues -Kapalbhati= stimulates digestion

-Your have a complex mix of digestive, metabolic, and hormonal issues, all interacting with each other -GOAL= strengthen digestion, reduce acid, and bloating, rebuild muscles, balance thyroid ,and prevent complication -Ayurveda provides= diet, lifestyle, yoga and detox therapies to gently heal your gut and restore balance -Medical follow up is essential- for H.pylori eradication, thyroid, lipids, and pre diabetes management -Patience is key- Ayurveda works gradually - expect gradual improvement over 6-12 weeks with consistency

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For your GERD issues and related symptoms, it seems a few areas need addressing from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. Since GERD often relates to a pitta imbalance, especially in the digestive system, the first step is to manage your diet and lifestyle to pacify excess pitta. Avoid overly spicy, sour, or salty foods, and limit caffeinated beverages and alcohol. These can exacerbate GERD symptoms by increasing acidity.

Given your history with h-pylori and the imbalance in TSH levels, a close look at your thyroid function and metabolic rate is important. Try incorporating cooling, soothing foods like ripe bananas, boiled and cooled milk, and a tsp of ghee on an empty stomach. These can help balance agni (digestive fire). Daily intake of a blend of jeera (cumin) and dhania (coriander) powder could help reduce acid formation and offer digestive relief.

Loss of muscle mass and potential hormone imbalance may reflect disruptions in all three doshas leading to impaired dhatu formation. Ayurvedic rasayanas like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can support strength and hormonal balance, but it’s crucial to get the correct dosage after consulting a practitioner since you had surgery. Gradual inclusion of appelas (light exercises) such as yoga can aid digestive function and metabolism without straining your post-surgery body.

Given your triglyceride and cholesterol levels require attention too. Incorporate a handful of soaked almonds daily to elevate good cholesterol, alongside a sprinkle of methi (fenugreek) powder in your meals to help manage lipid levels.

With a positive Hpylori test and recent surgery, it’s critical to maintain regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider, particularly if symptoms persist or worsen. These suggestions should complement your current medical plan and not replace needed treatment. Restoring balance will be a gradual process, so immediate concerns should always be prioritized with conventional medical advice.
