Hello Prasenjit, Your symptoms of frequent bowel movements, indigestion, and long-term IBS may be influenced by your underlying health conditions and medications.
Possible Causes:
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): This condition can cause digestive disturbances, such as urgent bowel movements, poor nutrient absorption, and bloating.
Medications: Long-term use of blood pressure and diabetes medications can sometimes affect digestion, aggravating IBS symptoms.
Aggravated Vata Dosha (Ayurvedic View): According to Ayurveda, IBS is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which affects digestive function and can lead to symptoms like bloating, frequent bowel movements, and an inability to digest food properly.
Recommended Steps:
1. Dietary Adjustments:
Smaller, Frequent Meals: Eating smaller, easily digestible meals can ease the digestive load.
Warm, Cooked Foods: Favor warm, cooked foods rather than raw, cold items, which can aggravate Vata and make digestion more difficult.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Minimize spicy, fried, or highly processed foods, as these can worsen IBS symptoms and Vata imbalance.
2. Tab Laghu Sootshekar 1-1-1 after food with warm meals. Syp Takrarishta 10 ml with 10 ml warm water twice after meals.
3. Probiotics:
Adding a probiotic supplement or probiotic-rich foods (such as yogurt or kefir, if tolerated) may help restore balance to gut bacteria and improve digestion.
4. Stress Management:
IBS symptoms often flare up with stress, which also aggravates Vata dosha. Techniques like yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises can help calm the mind and body, supporting more stable digestion.
5. Hydration and Routine:
Drink warm water throughout the day, and try to keep a consistent meal and sleep routine to stabilize digestion and reduce Vata.

At 38 years old, dealing with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) for a year, alongside managing sugar and blood pressure medications, can be quite challenging. In Ayurveda, IBS is often attributed to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, leading to digestive issues and irregular bowel movements. To help manage your condition, it is essential to focus on a diet that is easy to digest. Incorporate warm, cooked foods, and include ingredients like ginger, cumin, and fennel, which can aid digestion and soothe the gut. Avoid heavy, fried, and processed foods, as well as excessive sugars, which may exacerbate your symptoms.
Additionally, maintaining a consistent meal schedule and practicing mindful eating can greatly improve your digestion. Herbal remedies such as Ajwain (carom seeds) and Pippali (long pepper) can be beneficial for enhancing digestive fire (Agni). Regular yoga and meditation can also help alleviate stress, which is often a trigger for IBS symptoms.
Since you are on medication for sugar and blood pressure, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any significant dietary changes or introducing new herbs. A personalized approach is crucial, so if possible, please share more about your current diet, any other symptoms you experience, and how your IBS manifests.

It sounds like you're really going through it right now with IBS. The discomfort and frequent trips to the bathroom aren't easy, I get it. Trust that we can draw some wisdom from Ayurveda for relief.
First, let's look into your ahara (diet). You're on sugar and BP meds, so let's be cautious and gentle:
- Start your day with a warm glass of water infused with a dash of ginger and lemon. It can stimulate the agni without disrupting your current meds.
- When it comes to meals, smaller portions may help. A chaotic agni can really benefit from simple foods. Try things like khichdi (a rice and lentil dish) – soothing and easy to digest.
- Opt for freshly cooked, warm meals. Cold, leftover, or highly processed foods could challenge your digestion.
Oh, and one more thing, consider sipping on fennel or cumin tea after meals. Fennel is particularly calming for the digestive system. Brew about half a teaspoon in hot water.
Since anxiety and stress tie into IBS, check into your daily routine a bit. Try and start a little relaxation practice, like yoga or pranayama, even if just for 10 minutes. And some brief meditation might help you find a peaceful place amidst all the busy-ness.
It's also crucial not to ignore the dasha – dosha imbalance might be part of it. No kidding, a Vata imbalance often shows up in restless digestion. Ground yourself, literally and figuratively – look into warm, grounding activities and foods.
Above all, any drastic changes aren’t the goal here, especially given your meds. Always, always keep open communication with your healthcare provider whenever switching things up in your routine.
These are practical starts, but remember, consistent small steps can lead to big changes. Gradual and patient will win the race here.
