Now I have a problem with spicy food which irritates my stomach immediate after eating and later after I feel discomfort in my intestinal area with pain and pressure to go to washroom.

Hello, Please continue the medications by your ayurveda vaidya. They are good. But my suggestion would be as you know the cause as much as avoid spicy food for 6 months completely ,so that stomach gets time to get healed. And also start taking one cup of yastimadhu milk decoction as the first food in the morning. After 45 minutes please eat an apple which is peeled and cooked. 45 minutes after apple you can have your regular breakfast. Take care, Kind regards.

Spicy foods can indeed exacerbate your symptoms, particularly given your history with ulcers. It’s possible that spicy foods may be aggravating your pitta dosha, leading to increased acidity in the stomach, or causing irritation to the gastric mucosa. This could result in heightened sensitivity in your digestive tract, manifesting as discomfort and intestinal pain.

To address this issue from an Ayurvedic perspective, first, consider reducung the consumption of spicy or fried foods entirely until symptoms improve. Opt for a more sattvic diet, focusing on foods that are cooling and calming to the stomach like coconut water, bananas, and boiled rice. Drinking buttermilk with a pinch of cumin powder can also be soothing post-meals.

Your current regimen of bael (belgiri) powder can be supportive too, since it helps in balancing the digestive secretions. However, ensure you’re not overconsuming it, as moderation is key. Kutaja ghan vati is traditionally used for digestive disturbances and loose stools, so this seems appropriate, but monitoring your response and keeping an eye for any side effects is crucial.

Consider incorporating some ginger tea to your daily routine, as it can enhance digestive fire without contributing to acidity. A tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice with meals might also soothe inflammation in the digestive tract.

Stay well-hydrated to assist digestion and avoid eating large meals at night. Regular practice of calming activities like yoga or meditation is beneficial in reducing stress, which can inadvertently affect your digestive health.

If there’s no improvement, it might be prudent to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any underlying conditions that might require conventional medical intervention. Ensure any Ayurvedic supplements are continued under the guidance of a knowledgeable practitioner.

Spicy foods irritating your stomach might indicate that your pitta dosha is probably aggravated. Given your history with ulcers, your digestive agni might be weak, making it difficult for your system to handle spicy and heat-inducing foods.

First, avoid consuming overly spicy, sour, and fried food as much as possible. These can further inflame the pitta and lead to digestive disturbances. Try integrating cooling and soothing foods like cucumber, coconut water, and fresh aloe vera to calm your digestive system.

Your current regimen with belgiri powder is beneficial as it helps cool the gut lining, but ensure you’re not taking excessive amounts. Moderation is key. Kutajghan vati is excellent for balancing Pitta and Kapha, but verify that it aligns well with any current medications.

For regularizing the digestive fire, you might consider taking a pinch of cumin and coriander seeds, boil them in water and drink this after meals. It soothes the digestive tract and helps balance the pitta without adding extra heat.

Additionally, be mindful of your meal timings, ensuring you eat at regular intervals without long gaps, to maintain consistency in your digestive process. In case the pain persists or worsens, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional promptly to rule out any complications, as recurring discomfort should not be ignored.

If you’re taking weight gain supplements, make sure they are not heat-inducing or oily, as these can aggravate pitta further. Always discuss with your Ayurveda Ved any adjustments that align with your prakriti (constitution) and current health condition.
