Frequent bloating, pelvic pain, constipation, and discomfort radiating to the lower back are often signs of aggravated Vata dosha, particularly within the Apana Vata, which governs the lower abdomen and elimination functions. To address these symptoms, it’s essential to follow a Vata-pacifying diet and lifestyle. Begin by focusing on warm, cooked, and easily digestible foods, such as well-cooked rice, moong dal, steamed vegetables (like carrots, squash, and zucchini), and light soups. Avoid cold, raw, or overly dry foods, as well as gas-forming foods like beans and cabbage, which can worsen bloating and constipation.

Incorporate Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, which is gentle yet effective in promoting regular bowel movements and relieving constipation. Taking 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water before bed can support digestive regularity and reduce bloating. Hingvastak Churna, a traditional Ayurvedic digestive blend, can be taken with warm ghee before meals to enhance digestion, reduce gas, and ease abdominal discomfort.

Daily Abhyanga (oil massage) using warm sesame oil, especially around the abdomen and lower back, can help balance Vata and alleviate pain. Gentle yoga poses such as Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) can provide relief from bloating and aid digestion. Staying hydrated and sipping warm water throughout the day can also ease Vata and improve bowel movement.

Avoid stress, as it can further disrupt digestion. Practicing deep breathing and meditation daily can calm the mind and promote smoother digestion.

It sounds like you're experiencing some digestive turmoil. Bloating, pain moving from the pelvic area towards the anus, and constipation all point to an imbalance in the Vata dosha. This dosha governs all movement in the body, especially the intestines, so if it’s out of whack, you experience things like bloating or constipation. 

First off, it's really important to focus on your diet. Try to eat warm, cooked foods instead of raw ones. Soups and stews can be soothing. Incorporate ingredients like ginger, cumin, fennel, and asafoetida (or hing), which help to pacify Vata and improve digestion. Drinking warm water throughout the day can also help. Avoid cold foods, ice drinks, and raw veggies for now, as these can aggravate Vata even more.

For the constipation, something gentle like Triphala churna might be beneficial. It's an Ayurvedic herbal formula that aids in digestion and is typically taken in a teaspoon mixed with warm water before bed. But hey, start with a small dose to see how your body reacts. Everyone's different.

Lifestyle-wise, make sure you’re incorporating some gentle yoga or stretching, focusing on poses that promote movement in your intestines, like forward bends. Even a simple walk after meals can do wonders. And, do what you can to create a routine - regular meal times, sleep schedule and such. It sounds mundane, but routine calms Vata.

If the pain becomes unbearable, or if other alarming symptoms show up, tapping into healthcare support should definitely be immediate. Ayurveda works well as a supportive health lifestyle, but immediate issues can sometimes need more. Stay safe and healthy!
