Hello Sir/Ma'am, I'm a 30 year old male facing digestion since last 10 years ( At the age of 10 I was diagnosed with Jaundice: swelling in my liver). I don't know whether it is IBS/IBD/Crohn's but here are the symptoms which I'm facing and things I have been doing: 1. Sticky stool (yellow colour) with once in a while mucus. Once red mucus also came. 2-3 times motion for minimum 3 days in a week not on a regular basis. Sometimes Constipation/Loose stools. Feel like I have to go for motion after eating breakfast/lunch/dinner. Like a urgency to defecate sometimes. 2. My appetite is not good. Not feeling hungry nowadays. Feel too gasy after eating heavy or milk or wheat roti. Also feel gas has not passed from abdomen. Trapped gas feeling. Whenever I eat oily gas problem increases substantially. 3. I have not gained weight for the last 7 years. Weight has reduced to 42 kg from 48 kg in the last 2 years. Absorption/Assimilation lacking (Malabsorption). Vaat prakriti. 4. Having started getting skin problems especially ringworm type (daad/dinayi) in knee pit and acne on face. Recently a little bit of puffiness under my eyes. 5. Getting light brown colour encircle(iris) in eyes. 6. My energy level is reducing slowly and gradually. Especially after eating lunch I feel weakness. Sleep is also not deep. Many times wake up in the night. I sleep by 10:30 pm and generally wake up around 5:30 - 6 am. 7. My eating habits: No oily, sugary, processed food. Just eat simple rice, pulses, roti, curd, buttermilk etc. 8. Excercise: Doing yoga asanas such as: Mandukasan, Pawanmukta asan, Deep breathing, Anulom Vilom and Brahamri. Due to all this I'm not able to focus on my work and studies. Please tell me how to improve my health and gain weight as well as strength. (Dr. Snehal Vidhate and all other respected doctors please help me out. Thank You!

Your condition is mainly Low Agni (Mandagni) + Vata imbalance + Grahani (IBS-type problem) Because of this → poor digestion + malabsorption + weight loss Why you have these symptoms Sticky stool, mucus, urgency → Grahani disorder Gas, no hunger → weak digestive fire Weight loss → poor absorption Skin fungal issues → Ama (toxins) in body Weakness after food → improper digestion Improve Agni (most important) Morning empty stomach: Ginger + pinch of rock salt (small piece) Before meals 1tsp jeera + ajwain boiled water Medicines (simple) Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water after food Kutaj Ghan Vati – 1 tab twice daily (controls loose stool & mucus) Takra (buttermilk) + roasted jeera + black salt after lunch Diet Eat Warm, fresh, light food Rice + moong dal khichdi (best) Ghee (small amount daily) Avoid Milk (for now) Wheat if causing gas Oily, भारी food Raw foods, cold water

Based on the history which you given above about your chronic Mall observation yellow sticky stool and occasionally mucous with weight loss and gas it is pointing towards the grahni roga With a dominance of vara and Pitta There is also history of Jaundice which also pointing that you liver also need support 1) Dhanwantharam Kwath- 15 ml mix with 45 ml lukewarm water empty stomach early morning and evening 2) Dadimadi Ghritam- one teaspoon with lip warm water before breakfast 3) Hinguvachadi Gulika- one tablet with lukewarm water after lunch 4) Jeerakarishtam- 20 ml with equal amount of water after dinner 5) Manasamitra Vatakam- one tablet with lukewarm milk or water before bed Takra (Buttermilk): This is considered the best medicine for Grahani. Drink fresh buttermilk seasoned with a pinch of roasted cumin powder and ginger. Avoid cold or refrigerated food. Eat only warm, freshly cooked meals. Include pomegranate (Dadima), bottle gourd (Lauki), and easy-to-digest grains like old rice or Moong Dal. Strictly avoid milk (if causing gas), wheat (switch to rice or millets temporarily), refined sugar, and raw salads. Raw vegetables are harder for a weak Agni Eat at the same time every day. Do not drink large amounts of water immediately before or after meals; take small sips during the meal. Ensure a minimum of 7-8 hours of sleep. Since sleep is not deep, avoid screens 1 hour before bed. If possible go for stool routine test and LFT to rule out any infection. Continue the Vajrasana for 5-10 minutes after meals to aid digestion, but avoid strenuous exercise until weight stabilizes above 45 kg.

Hello I understand your situation. Long-standing digestion issues with weight loss, gas, irregular stools, and low energy can be very frustrating. In your case, this is a clear picture of chronic Vata imbalance with weak digestion (Agnimandya) and malabsorption, likely triggered after liver involvement in childhood. This is why you are not gaining weight despite eating simple food. Right now, the focus should be on improving digestion first, then absorption, then weight gain. Start with Hingwashtak churna ½ tsp with first bite of meals Kutaj Ghan Vati 1 tablet twice daily after food Avipattikar churna ½ tsp at night with warm water Once stools become more stable (in 2–3 weeks), add Ashwagandha churna ½ tsp twice daily with milk Diet is very important in your case. Continue simple food but make it slightly nourishing — add ghee daily, take small frequent meals, and avoid curd at night. If milk causes gas, take it warm with a pinch of dry ginger. Avoid oily, heavy, and raw foods. Do not over-restrict diet, as that further weakens digestion. Continue yoga but keep it gentle. Avoid over-exertion. Sleep improvement will come as digestion improves, so maintain a fixed routine and avoid late-night stimulation. If mucus or blood repeats, or weight keeps dropping, do a basic GI evaluation (stool test, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions. With consistent correction of digestion, weight and strength will gradually improve. Warm Regards Dr Raghuveer SN

From everything you have shared this is a long standing disturbance of digestion where the digestive fire has become weak and irregular over the years leading to improper digestion and formation of toxins in the body which in Ayurveda we call ama along with Vata imbalance affecting the intestines and absorption this is why you are seeing symptoms like irregular stools mucus gas poor appetite weight loss weakness and even skin issues The sticky stools mucus urgency after food and alternating constipation and loose motions clearly indicate Grahani involvement where the intestines are not able to hold and process food properly the feeling of trapped gas and discomfort after eating shows that digestion is incomplete and fermentation is happening inside the gut rather than proper breakdown and absorption Your weight loss and lack of strength over years is not just due to eating less but mainly because whatever you are eating is not getting properly absorbed into the tissues so even a simple diet is not nourishing your body fully this is why rebuilding digestion is the first and most important step before trying to gain weight Right now your body needs gentle correction not heavy medicines or aggressive treatments so start by focusing on improving digestion slowly Before meals you can take a small piece of fresh ginger with a pinch of rock salt this will help stimulate digestive fire in a natural way Your diet should be warm freshly cooked and easy to digest avoid cold food refrigerated items raw foods and heavy combinations completely for some time milk and curd may not suit you at present so it is better to stop them temporarily as they can increase mucus and ama Focus more on light nourishing foods like moong dal khichdi rice with thin dal cooked vegetables like bottle gourd ridge gourd pumpkin with a little ghee this will support digestion and gradually improve strength Avoid wheat for some time and observe how your body responds as sometimes it can increase bloating and heaviness in sensitive digestion For medicine support you can take hingvastak churna in small quantity before meals with warm water to reduce gas and improve digestion and avipattikar churna at night if there is constipation If mucus in stool continues then kutaj based medicines can help stabilise the intestines but these should be taken carefully in proper dose Do not start heavy tonics or rasayana immediately as they will not digest properly at this stage once your digestion improves and stools become more regular then we can gradually introduce strengthening medicines like ashwagandha Your skin issues like fungal infection are also a reflection of internal imbalance and toxins so as your digestion improves these will also gradually reduce Continue your yoga and breathing practices but keep them gentle and calming avoid overexertion as your body is currently weak and needs rebuilding Get some basic tests done like blood test stool test and if required further evaluation to rule out any intestinal inflammation as you have had symptoms for many years and significant weight loss With patience and consistency your condition can definitely improve the focus should be on restoring digestion step by step
