The above combination is very powerful when taken in unfiltered form it may lead to form ama ( undigested residue) in the gut , mandagni ( low digestive fire) Triggera gas formation bloating Reduces appetite and creates dryness in the intestines leading to constipation N Amla is rich in vit c No need to take extra vit c tablet What you can do reduce the quantity n take after filtering Take Hingwastaka churna 1/2-0-1/2 tsp after meals Haritaki churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water

Hello, If you are taking the juice as a shot, it should not cause constipation and bloating. Please prepare it according to the recipe given by your doctor/dietician. He/ she might have asked you ta add pinch of rock salt, a piece of ginger and honey to the juice after straining with a sieve.(It is always better to discard the pulp) When you drink with the pulp it is too heavy to digest causing bloating, heaviness with loss of appetite and chances of causing constipation. Before taking Limcee please see to it that you have checked vit.c levels. Take care, Kind regards.

Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ can see that it must be very uncomfortable and confusing for you when the onset of constipation, bloating, and loss of appetite is sudden after taking health drinks and supplements. However, dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅ YOUR CONCERN

For the last 2-3 months, you have been drinking amla + mint + curry leaves + coriander leaves (unfiltered). Just started taking Limsee vitamin C tablets (1 week).

Now you have: Constipation Bloating throughout the day Poor appetite Duration of symptoms: Less than 1 week

Adding Vitamin C tablets to the mix has only made things worse in terms of acidity and gut dryness. As a result, acute constipation with bloating has developed.

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION (To restore digestion, relieve bloating & soften stools)

1. Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp before lunch & dinner with warm water (Controls the production of acid in stomach, helps digestion & relieves constipation)

2. Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (Helps to keep bowel movement regular and is very safe)

3. Hingvashtak Churna – ½ tsp before meals once daily (For flatulence, bloating & intestinal rumbling)

4. Castor Oil – 1 tsp with warm milk or warm water at night twice a week only (Used for gentle bowel cleansing & lubrication)

✅ STOP for now:

Limsee Vitamin C tablets Daily unfiltered leafy juice

✅ EXTERNAL CARE

Warm abdominal fomentation (hot water bag) for 10–15 minutes at night

Gentle clockwise abdominal oil massage with sesame oil twice a week

✅ HOME REMEDIES

1. Jeera water – boil 1 tsp cumin in 1 glass water, sip warm 2. Soaked black raisins (8–10 daily) 3. Only warm water throughout the day 4. Add 1 tsp ghee to your lunch, take it daily 5. Do not drink water immediately after your meals

✅ DIET PLAN

✅ INCLUDE

Rice, moong dal Khichdi Vegetable soups Bottle gourd, ridge gourd Pomegranate Papaya in small quantity Buttermilk with roasted jeera

❌ AVOID

Raw leafy juices Excess amla Vitamin C supplements Fried food Bakery items Cold drinks Excess tea/coffee

✅ LIFESTYLE TIPS

Eat at fixed timings Do not skip meals Avoid eating late at night Walk 15–20 minutes daily Do not overthink or get stressed (it has a direct effect on gut movement) Sit calmly during bowel movement and do not strain

✅ IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION

Herbal things are beneficial only if taken properly Long-term unfiltered raw leaf intake damages digestion Ayurveda always puts digestive strength (Agni) before nutrition

Warm Regards Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

Your current herbal intake, along with the vitamin C tablets, could be affecting your digestive system in a few ways. Amla is known for its digestive benefits, but in some people it can lead to constipation if not paired with enough dietary fiber or water intake to aid bowel movement. Pudina (mint) can sometimes result in reduced gastric motility, which might be contributing to the feelings of bloating and constipation.

Drinks prepared without straining could be particularly high in fiber, which is typically good for digestion but if suddenly increased can cause temporary bloating and constipation. Additionally, vitamin C tablets might have additives or ingredients that mildlly disturb digestive function for some.

Consider adjusting several aspects. First, increase your fluid intake to help move the fiber through your system more efficiently— this means more water throughout the day. Second, try reducing the unstrained fiber load by straining your herbal drink before consumption, this might alleviate the heaviness and discomfort.

In terms of diet, focus on including soluble fibers like oatmeal, bananas, and apples, which are easier on digestion. Avoid heavy, oily or very spicy foods right now as these may burden your system more. Allow your digestive system some rest by having several small meals rather than a few large ones.

Lastly, consider taking a short break from the vitamin C tablets and observe if symptoms persist or improve. Listen to your body and give it time to adjust with these changes. If constipation or bloating remain, it would be adviceable to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized assessment to rule out any underlying concerns.
