Why does my stool become sticky and loose again after stopping treatment for mandagni and pitta aggravation? - #54428
I was facing loose sticky motion once a day every morning with bloating.So dr told i have mandagni with pitta aggravation.So he told me to first digest aam using panchkol for half a day then start having chitrakadi vati before meals and dadimashtaka after meal along with kitchari diet.I followed everything for 3 days.I didn't take bilvadi churna he adviced. After this my motion was not sticky also not loose.It was very loosely formed. After discontinuing medicine motion again became sticky & loose. Was this bcoz i missed the GRAHI medicine or something else?

Your response pattern suggests: ----The treatment is working But the gut is not yet stable on its own So it still depends on external support (medicine + diet) That’s why stopping leads to return of symptoms. – gut is still sensitive, if u don’t take the medicine at this moment u will get return of symptoms, the balance will take time . So if treatment is suiting your body follow it with discipline with proper diet and lifestyle modification
Yes, your observation is correct—this happens commonly in Mandagni with Pitta aggravation when treatment is stopped too early. Your digestion (Agni) was temporarily corrected by Deepana–Pachana medicines like Panchkol and Chitrakadi Vati. This reduced Ama and improved stool form. But the root Agni is still weak, so once medicines are stopped, Ama forms again, leading to sticky, loose stool and bloating. About missing Grahi medicine: Yes, partially. Grahi drugs (like Bilvadi) help absorb excess moisture and bind stool, so skipping them can contribute. However, the main reason is incomplete Agni restoration, not just one missed medicine. What to do: Continue Deepana–Pachana (Chitrakadi Vati) for a longer duration (2–4 weeks) Add tab Amoebica - 2 tab twice a day after meal Follow light diet (khichadi, warm food, no raw/heavy items) Take jeera + ajwain warm water after meals Avoid stopping treatment abruptly—taper gradually
