Seeking Help for Digestive Issues and Breathing Problems - #51733

Client_71a9e2

Good afternoon. I have had problems for a long time with gas formation, pain on the left side of the abdomen, and irregular stool. Also, I cannot take a full breath even though I used techniques for relaxing the diaphragm and visceral techniques. They do not help because the back ribs (the upper part of my back) do not allow a full breath, it feels like some kind of block there. I have also had problems with sleep for a long time. I have been taking antidepressants for a year, but now I am finishing the therapy. During a consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, they said that I have a Pitta dosha imbalance (vikriti – Pitta-Kapha). I was taking coriander, fennel, and cumin brewed as tea, also aloe with curcumin, adysen, ashwagandha rasayana. I was eating grains and adding psyllium. I cannot say that it became better. I do not know what I should eat now, what to add, and what to exclude. I drink coffee and sometimes it causes pain, but it is difficult for me to stop drinking it completely because with coffee my metabolism works better. Some of my data from the natal chart: I have Pisces rising, the Moon in Aries, the Sun in Cancer, and now I am living in the Moon mahadasha. Please help me understand what the problem might be and find a solution.

How long have you been experiencing gas formation and abdominal pain?:

- More than 6 months

Have you noticed any specific foods that trigger your symptoms?:

- Spicy foods

How would you describe your current stress levels?:

- Moderate, some stress

Doctors' responses

Based on your symptoms, your condition appears to be related to Agni imbalance (weak digestion) with Pitta-Kapha aggravation and accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the gastrointestinal system. Long-term stress and irregular digestion can also affect breathing by creating pressure and heaviness in the abdomen and diaphragm area. Your symptoms such as gas formation, left-sided abdominal pain, irregular stool, sleep disturbance and breathing discomfort suggest disturbance of Annavaha and Pranavaha srotas. Dietary Advice Prefer light, warm and easily digestible food such as moong dal khichdi, vegetable soups and cooked vegetables. Avoid spicy, fried, oily, fermented and very cold foods. Reduce coffee intake, as it may aggravate Pitta and cause abdominal pain. If difficult to stop completely, limit it to one small cup per day after food. Avoid heavy food at night and maintain regular meal timings. Ayurvedic Medicines (General guidance) Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night after meals for digestion and Pitta balance. Hingvastak Churna – ½ tsp with the first bite of food twice daily to reduce gas and improve digestion. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for bowel regulation. Lifestyle Advice Practice gentle pranayama (Anulom-Vilom and deep breathing) daily. Do light walking after meals to support digestion. Maintain proper sleep routine and try stress-reducing practices such as meditation or yoga. Since your symptoms have been present for more than 6 months, a detailed physical examination by an Ayurvedic physician is recommended for personalized treatment and possible Panchakarma therapy if required.

Thank you! I thought my symptoms look like Vata imbalance, isn’t it?

●A Cooling Bile-Soothing Drink Grape-Based Soft Drink 1 cup grape juice, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1/2 teaspoon sandalwood powder. This drink soothes stomach irritation, internal heat, and anger. ●Peace from the Nose to the Brain Applying Brahmi ghee or plain ghee to the nostrils with your little finger calms anger and impatience. ●Herbal Tea to Calm the Mind Herbal Tea to Balance the Emotions Chamomile + Tulsi + Rose has a soothing and calming effect on both the mind and body. ●How to Make Herbal Tea Chamomile - 1 part, Basil - 1 part, Rose Petals - 2 parts Add 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture to 1 cup of hot water. Strain and drink after cooling. Take 2 times a day after meals ●Vata-Balancing Diet • Warm, ghee-rich, oily, and moist foods. • Soups, porridge, mung bean porridge, ghee-based vegetables. Sweet, sour, and salty juice balancers. Use milk, ghee, sesame oil, ginger, cinnamon, and dried ginger. Reduce cold, dry, crispy, or raw foods. ●Daily Routine for Vata • Morning and evening abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or almond oil. • Yoga: Practice stable postures like Tadasana, Trikonasana, and Balasana. • Maintain a regular daily routine – set specific times for meals, sleep, and work. • Keep your body warm, soft, and protected during autumn and winter. Build mental stability through meditation and pranayama. ●Sweet, sour, and salty tastes calm Vata. • Bitter, pungent, and astringent tastes aggravate Vata. Ghee-based khichdi, hot soup, cooked porridge, sweet fruits, and cooked food with salt are suitable. ●Niruha, Anuvasana, Ksheer Basti - Vaidyas use them according to the condition of the disease. Perform these only under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. ●7-Day Vata-Soothing Routine (At Home) • Morning: Lukewarm water, sesame oil massage, light yoga Afternoon: Moong Khichdi + ghee + cooked vegetables; buttermilk until noon Routine: Maintain a consistent sleep schedule • Evening: Warm ginger-fennel-cumin decoction • Night: Porridge/soup; oil massage on the feet and head before bed This is only helpful for general imbalances.
