Considering your persistent bloating and the specific diagnosis of endometrioma and mild chronic inflammation, managing this through Ayurveda focuses on addressing root causes that might be contributing to your symptoms. First, the imbalance of doshas, particularly Vata and Kapha, could play a significant role in bloating. To harmonize these doshas, your approach can be fine-tuned.

Regarding diet, although it’s clean, let’s refine it further. Incorporate warm, cooked foods - avoiding raw salads and cold beverages, which can aggravate Vata. Favor moist, easy-to-digest dishes like stews and soups, adding digestive spices such as cumin, fennel, and ajwain to meals. Also, avoid heavy, dairy products which might contribute to Kapha aggravation. Ensure meals are at regular intervals, avoid skipping meals to stabilize digestive Agni (fire).

Herb recommendations might need adjustment if no improvement seen previously. Instead of prior supplements, consider trying a regimen of Triphala churna at night to support digestion and detox. Shatavari can be beneficial for female reproductive health, helping to manage endometriosis symptoms. Take 500 mg twice daily, if it suits your body constitution. Also, Manjistha is often used in Ayurveda for its blood-purifying and anti-inflammatory properties, might help address underlying inflammation.

For lifestyle practices, maintain regular Yoga but incorporate Pranayama, specifically Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), to help balance Vata. Include gentle abdominal massages with warm sesame oil, which may assist with reducing bloating and improve digestion.

Lastly, a detailed reassessment from a healthcare provider, considering your unique condition, is always advised. If symptoms persist, further investigation from a specialist might be necessary, addressing potentially underlying gynecological issues. Always collaborate with your physician to tailor interventions fittingly and safely align with both Ayurvedic practices and conventional medical guidance.

Persistent bloating and abdominal enlargement like you described, especially alongside confirmed conditions like endometrioma and mild chronic inflammation, calls for a comprehensive approach rooted in Ayurvedic principles. First, we need to think about the underlying dosha imbalances. In cases like yours, vata imbalance, especially in the lower abdomen, along with potential kapha aggravation due to the cyst, is something to consider. It’s also essential to focus on improving agni, or digestive fire, which can be adversely affected.

You’ve mentioned consuming clean diet and practicing yoga, which are good start. Now, let’s tweak few things. Try incorporating hing (asafoetida) in your meals, as it can help better regulate vata and reduce bloating. Just a pinch in your food can improve digestion. Also, consider drinking warm water with a bit of lemon and a piece of ginger in the morning; this can help stimulate agni.

For herbal remedies, continue with kachnar guggulu but consider adding trikatu (a combination of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) to aid digestion. The tea made from fennel seeds post meals may also alleviate bloating. Additionally, there’s potential benefit from using castor oil for gentle abdominal massages to reduce vata and aid in discomfort; be cautious with pressure.

Your stress is understandable but enhancing mental calm through regular nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) might help harmonize pranavayu (respiratory and circulatory forces) and improve the condition.

Lastly, since your main concern involves an ongoing medical condition, I’d recommend staying in close touch with a healthcare provider for regular check-ups, as specific interventions could be necessary. Ayurveda perfectly complements where modern medicine may not fully address visible symptoms, but keeping both perspectives integrated ensures comprehensive care.
