Namaste, Saubhagya. Based on your symptoms of stomach fullness, low appetite, rare chest burn, and excessive gas or farting, it suggests an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, along with the presence of Ama (toxins) due to weak digestion (agnimandya). OTC Ayurvedic Formulations: To Relieve Gas and Bloating: Hingvastak Churna: Take 1/2 teaspoon with warm water before meals. It helps reduce gas, bloating, and promotes digestion. Gasex Tablets (Himalaya): 1-2 tablets after meals to relieve flatulence and stomach fullness. For Low Appetite: Chitrakadi Vati: 1 tablet with warm water before meals to ignite the digestive fire (agni) and improve appetite. Ajamodadi Churna: 1/2 teaspoon with lukewarm water after meals to stimulate digestion. To Address Rare Chest Burn and Ama (Toxins): Avipattikar Churna: 1/2 teaspoon with water before bedtime to prevent acidity and cleanse the digestive tract. Triphala Churna: 1 teaspoon with warm water at night to gently detoxify and improve digestion. Lifestyle Recommendations: Dietary Adjustments: Avoid cold, heavy, fried, and processed foods that increase Ama. Favor warm, freshly cooked meals with digestive spices like cumin, ginger, and fennel. Drink jeera (cumin) water or warm water throughout the day to aid digestion. Daily Practices: Regularly chew a small piece of fresh ginger with a pinch of rock salt before meals to boost digestion. Perform light abdominal exercises or yoga poses like Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) to expel trapped gas. Meal Timing: Eat at regular intervals, avoiding late-night meals or overeating.

Hey, it sounds like you're dealing with Kapha and Vata imbalances, sometimes our lifestyle or diet can stir things up a bit. Feeling full, low appetite, farting—yep, digestion seems a bit off, doesn’t it? Ayurvedically speaking, your Agni, or digestive fire, might be sluggish. First things first, about that diet: consider starting your day with a ginger tea. Really, just boil a few slices of ginger in water and drink it warm. It can gently kickstart your digestion. During meals, try embracing warm, cooked foods more. Veggies seasoned with cumin, turmeric or coriander work wonders for your belly. Avoid cold foods and drinks, as they can dampen that digestive fire further. In terms of lifestyle, try this: after eating, take a short, brisk walk—10-15 minutes. It's like magic; it helps your stomach work. Regular mealtimes are your friend too. Eating around the same time every day helps your body adjust and prepare to digest food better. Maybe introduce Triphala at night, a classic Ayurvedic formula for digestive support. Take one teaspoon with warm water before bed. But give it about a week to really start noticing changes, patience is key sometimes. For that chest burn (even if rare), when you feel it sneaking in, grab some fennel seeds. Chewing on half teaspoon after meals can offer relief and aid digestion. It's also crucial to stay hydrated, with warm or room-temperature water—skip the ice! And when you feel the gas building up, lie on your left side; it can sometimes help the body release the gas naturally. If any symptoms get worse or you don't see improvements soon, checking with a healthcare professional would be wise, just to rule out anything major. Your gut is talking to you; it's just about tuning in and adjusting a bit here and there. Hope some of this helps. Take care!
