LONG STANDING GAS INDIGESTION AND ACIDITY FOR TEN YEARS INDICATES A DEEP SEATED AGNI DISTURBANCE WITH VATA AND PITTA IMBALANCE WHEN DIGESTIVE FIRE BECOMES IRREGULAR FOOD IS NOT PROPERLY DIGESTED AND AMA IS FORMED THIS LEADS TO CHRONIC GAS BLOATING ACIDITY AND OVER TIME IT STARTS AFFECTING THE MIND ALSO WHICH IS WHY SYMPTOMS LIKE GHABRAHAT ANXIETY AND MOOD SWINGS ARE APPEARING GUT AND MIND ARE STRONGLY CONNECTED AND WHEN THE GUT IS IRRITATED THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ALSO BECOMES UNSTABLE

THE MEDICINES YOU HAVE USED SUCH AS ASAVARISTA KUMARIASAV CHITRAKAVATI HINGWASTAK AND AVIPATTIKAR ARE STRONG AGNI STIMULANTS AND PURGATIVE IN NATURE WHEN USED REPEATEDLY FOR LONG DURATION THEY CAN DRY AND IRRITATE THE GUT LINING AND AGGRAVATE PITTA WHICH EXPLAINS WHY RELIEF HAS NOT BEEN SUSTAINED

THE TREATMENT NOW SHOULD FOCUS ON HEALING AND CALMING THE DIGESTIVE TRACT ALONG WITH STABILIZING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM TAKE SIMPLE WARM HOME COOKED FOOD AT FIXED TIMES AVOID TEA COFFEE SPICY FRIED SOUR AND FERMENTED ITEMS DO NOT SKIP MEALS AND AVOID LATE NIGHT DINNER

FOR MEDICATION START WITH GUDUCHI GHAN VATI ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD SHANKH VATI ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD FOR GAS AND ACIDITY YASHTIMADHU CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY BEFORE FOOD WITH WARM WATER TO HEAL STOMACH LINING BRAHMI VATI ONE TABLET AT NIGHT AFTER DINNER TO REDUCE ANXIETY AND MOOD SWINGS

IF STOOLS ARE LOOSE OR IRREGULAR ADD BILVA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD IF CONSTIPATION IS PRESENT USE TRIPHALA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER TAKING TAKRA WITH ROASTED JEERA POWDER AFTER LUNCH DAILY WILL ALSO SUPPORT GUT HEALING

THIS CONDITION REQUIRES CONSISTENT TREATMENT AND DISCIPLINE AS THE GUT NEEDS TIME TO REPAIR WHEN DIGESTION IMPROVES MENTAL SYMPTOMS WILL ALSO SETTLE NATURALLY PLEASE SHARE YOUR AGE DIET SLEEP PATTERN AND ANY REPORTS IF AVAILABLE FOR MORE PRECISE GUIDANCE

Hlo,

I understand how distressing this can be, especially after 10 years and after trying many classical medicines without relief. I’ll explain what may be happening, then give a structured Ayurvedic prescription with doses, plus diet–lifestyle corrections, which are equally important.

Likely Ayurvedic Understanding (Root Cause) From your history: - Chronic gas, acidity, indigestion - Ghabrahat (palpitations), anxiety, mood swings - Poor response to strong churna/asava

This strongly suggests a combination of:

Vata–Pitta dushti Grahani / functional gut disorder Manovaha srotas involvement (gut–mind connection)

Many medicines you took (hingwastak, chitrakadi, asava-arista) are ushna and tikshna. Long-term use can: Reduce digestion temporarily - Aggravate Pitta and Vata - Increase anxiety, palpitations, acidity So the gut has become irritated, sensitive, and overreactive.

Ayurvedic Treatment Goal - Soothe Pitta - Stabilize Vata - Heal gut lining - Calm mind–gut axis - Restore natural Agni (not forced)

Ayurvedic Prescription

⚠️Start one step at a time.

🌿 1. Avipattikar Churna (Modified use) You already tried it, but likely dose or timing was wrong Dose: ½ teaspoon once daily only With lukewarm water At bedtime 👉 Not after meals, not twice daily

🌿 2. Kamdudha Ras (without Mukta if sensitive) Very important for acidity + anxiety Dose: 1 tablet twice daily After food With cow’s milk or plain water

🌿 3. Shankh Bhasma For gas, acidity, functional indigestion Dose: 125 mg (½ of 250 mg tablet) Twice daily After meals With buttermilk or warm water

🌿 4. Brahmi Vati (for anxiety & gut–brain axis) Helps ghabrahat, mood swings, IBS-type symptoms Dose: 1 tablet at night After dinner With lukewarm water

🌿 5. Yashtimadhu (Mulethi) Powder Heals gut lining, reduces burning & irritation Dose: ½ teaspoon Morning empty stomach With lukewarm water

🌿 Optional (if constipation or heaviness present) Triphala churna ½ teaspoon at bedtime With warm water

🚫 What to STOP for now Hingwastak churna Chitrakadi vati Asava–Arishta Very spicy / sour medicines These worsen your condition long-term.

Diet Rules (VERY IMPORTANT) ✅ Prefer: Warm, freshly cooked food Rice, moong dal, lauki, pumpkin, bottle gourd Homemade buttermilk (daytime only) Cow’s milk at night if suits you

❌ Avoid: Tea, coffee Fried food Late-night eating Tomatoes, vinegar, bakery food Raw salads at night Daily Lifestyle Support Eat same time daily 10 minutes slow walking after meals Deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) 10 min daily Sleep before 11 pm

When to Investigate (Important) If not already done, please rule out: H. pylori IBS / functional dyspepsia Vitamin B12 / D deficiency Thyroid profile

Mam medicine kitne dino tak leni hai.

Atleast follow plan for

Kamdudha Ras 6–8 weeks Shankh Bhasma 6 weeks Avipattikar 3–4 weeks Yashtimadhu 2–3 months Brahmi Vati1–2 months

Agr lagta h ki - burning, palpitations, ya acidity badhe → turant batao Alcohol, smoking, excess tea/coffee bilkul avoid Diet follow karna medicine se zyada zaroori hai

Kuch investigation ka upr apko suggest Kiya gya h…to ek bar unki trf bhi dhyan dena h

As u also talked with dr prasad that

Your endoscopy & blood tests were normal → no structural disease You improved earlier with short treatment → digestion can recover Problem restarted after canteen food → typical trigger for functional gut disorder (Ayurveda: Grahani + Vata-Pitta imbalance) Anxiety & mood swings started with gut symptoms, not separately So yes — this is 100% a gut-origin problem, not a permanent disease.

The good news: this is reversible 🌱

Now jo dhyan dena h vo ye rhega… medicines jse btayi gyi h continue rkhni h…

What improvement timeline to expect 🟢 7–10 days Acidity & burning reduce Gas less painful Mind slightly calmer

🟢 3–4 weeks Anxiety & ghabrahat reduce significantly Indigestion improves Mood becomes stable

🟢 6–8 weeks Gut sensitivity settles Medicines can be tapered/stopped

VERY IMPORTANT: Relapse prevention Since your problem relapses with food:

Follow these strictly for 2 months ❌ No canteen / outside food ❌ No tea on empty stomach ❌ No late dinner ❌ No spicy/fried food

Do this daily Fixed meal timings 10–15 min walk after meals Deep breathing 5–10 min (especially when anxiety starts)

When to worry (rare) If you develop: Weight loss Vomiting Blood in stool Night-time pain → then re-evaluation is needed. Otherwise, this is functional and manageable.

Agr phr bhi kuch preshani lge to consult again tq

Yes, you are facing a chronic gut-brain axis problem (gut inflammation + Vata-Pitta imbalance affecting mind causing anxiety, mood swings, ghabrahat).

Medicines 1 Panchamrit Parpati – 125 mg morning + night with water (best for chronic gut inflammation & malabsorption) 2 Kamdugdha Ras (Moti Yukta) – 250 mg morning + night with cold water (strong cooling for acidity & ghabrahat) 3 Brahmi Vati (Gold) – 1 tablet night (calms anxiety, mood swings & gut-brain link) 4 Bilvadi Churna – 3 gm + warm water twice daily (soothes intestines, reduces gas & indigestion)

Diet – Only: moong khichdi + 1–2 tsp ghee, thin buttermilk + roasted jeera, pomegranate, boiled apple/pear Avoid completely: spicy/sour, fried, tea/coffee after 4 PM, dairy milk/curd, heavy pulses, late dinner, raw salads

Daily Routine Vajrasana 10 min after every meal Anulom-Vilom pranayama 10 min morning & night Dinner before 7 PM Sleep 10 PM – 6 AM

If no improvement in 3–4 weeks, consult gastroenterologist (to rule out H. pylori, SIBO or gastritis).

1.Kamdugdha rasa 1 tab twice daily with milk after meals 2.Sutshekhar rasa 1 tab twice daily with honey after meals 3.Shankh vati 1 tab twice daily with water after meals 4.Tri[hala churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water 4.Jeerkarishta 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 5.Syp. Zymnet (Aimil) 2 tsp thrice daily

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Tips - Diet: Warm, freshly cooked meals; avoid cold, stale, fried, and very spicy foods. - Routine: Eat at regular times; avoid skipping meals. - Hydration: Sip warm water through the day; avoid excess tea/coffee. - Calming practices: Gentle yoga (Vajrasana after meals, Anulom Vilom pranayama) to calm digestion and mind. - Sleep: Ensure 7–8 hours; poor sleep worsens acidity and anxiety. - Stress care: Ashwagandha + meditation can help reduce ghabrahat and mood swings.

Warm Regards DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT

your long term gas indigestion and acidity indicates deep agni imbalance and ama accumulation in the gut which is affecting your vata and pitta this can also lead to ghabrahat anxiety and mood swings because your gut and mind are closely connected you need to correct digestion and calm mind together you can take chyavanprash one tsp twice daily with warm water or milk avipattikar churna one tsp at night with warm water punarnavadi guggulu two tablets twice daily after meals for vata pitta balance ajwain water or jeera water in the morning on empty stomach helps digestion avoid cold foods heavy fried foods excessive tea coffee and packaged foods eat five to six small meals instead of two heavy meals practice anulom vilom pranayama to calm mind and reduce anxiety slow mindful eating and proper chewing are important you may require detailed nadi and tongue examination for long term treatment sometimes mild virechana or panchakarma is needed under supervision if severe symptoms like vomiting severe acidity black stools or unexplained weight loss occur consult a doctor immediately with consistent ayurvedic care and lifestyle correction your gut can gradually heal and anxiety reduce
