Managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ulcerative colitis can be challenging, but Ayurveda offers natural ways to reduce symptoms and improve digestive health. The symptoms you mentioned—abdominal swelling, bloating, acidity, and gastritis—often indicate an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas, which need to be carefully managed. Begin by following a Pitta-pacifying diet to reduce inflammation: favor cooling, soothing foods like well-cooked rice, oatmeal, moong dal, and steamed vegetables (such as squash, carrots, and zucchini). Avoid spicy, fried, and acidic foods, as well as caffeine, tomatoes, and fermented items, as these can aggravate acidity and inflammation.
Include herbs such as Amla (Indian gooseberry) and licorice, which have cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the digestive tract and balance excess Pitta. For bloating and acidity, having a small piece of ginger with a pinch of rock salt before meals may aid digestion, but consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance on herbs and dosages. Drinking warm water throughout the day and incorporating 1-2 teaspoons of aloe vera juice on an empty stomach may also provide relief by calming the intestines.
Avoid stress as it can worsen IBD symptoms. Gentle yoga, breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation can help reduce stress, support digestion, and strengthen the digestive fire (Agni) without causing irritation. Regular self-care with an oil massage (Abhyanga) using cooling oils like coconut or olive oil can also balance Pitta and promote relaxation. Making these lifestyle changes, alongside Ayurvedic dietary practices, can gradually reduce inflammation and discomfort, providing you with relief over time.

In Ayurveda, issues like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), upper abdominal swelling, bloating, acidity, and gastritis are primarily related to an imbalance in the *Pitta* and *Vata* doshas. *Pitta* governs digestive fire, and when it becomes aggravated, it can lead to excessive acidity and inflammation, which manifest as gastritis and discomfort in the upper abdomen. *Vata* imbalance, on the other hand, disrupts normal digestive movement, leading to bloating and gas.
To help balance these doshas, it is essential to adopt a soothing and anti-inflammatory diet that is light, warm, and easy to digest. Avoid spicy, oily, sour, and acidic foods, as they aggravate Pitta and worsen symptoms. Instead, focus on well-cooked foods that are naturally sweet, bitter, and astringent, such as basmati rice, boiled vegetables, and ripe fruits. Drinking small sips of warm water throughout the day, as well as a decoction of cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, can help reduce acidity and aid digestion.
Incorporating herbs like *Amla* (Indian gooseberry), which is cooling and soothing, can help reduce Pitta and strengthen digestive health. *Aloe vera* juice in small quantities, taken on an empty stomach, can also be helpful for calming inflammation. Additionally, *Triphala*, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, may support bowel health, reduce bloating, and gently regulate digestion.
It is also important to manage stress, as mental agitation can exacerbate both Vata and Pitta imbalances. Practicing mindfulness techniques, such as *Pranayama* and gentle yoga, can support the body’s natural healing process. Emphasizing a consistent daily routine, with set meal times and restful sleep, can also help to maintain digestive balance and reduce the symptoms associated with IBD.

Sounds like you're going through quite a bit with your digestion right now. In Ayurveda, we look at conditions like IBD and the symptoms you describe—swelling, bloating, acidity, and gastritis—as imbalances in the digestive fire or agni, often linked to imbalances in Vata, Pitta, or even Kapha doshas. We want to find ways to gently rebalance these elements and support your digestion.
First thing you might want to try is adjusting your diet. Opt for light meals, nothing too heavy or oily, and avoid overly spicy or sour foods—they can worsen acidity and bloating. Try including things like well-cooked, soft rice or oatmeal with some cooling spices like fennel or a bit of coriander. They can help soothe the gut a bit.
Sip on warm water throughout the day. It helps cleanse and regulates digestion. You could also try adding a slice of fresh ginger before meals to boost your agni. It's mild enough not to aggravate acidity but can still help awaken digestion.
Herbal remedies can also be quite helpful. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is a great option; it's cooling and also supports gut health. Take it as a juice or a powder about half an hour before meals. And if you haven't already, consider taking some Triphala at night. It's a gentle way to keep your bowels regular without being harsh or irritating.
On the lifestyle side of things, ensure you're getting enough rest so your body has the chance to heal. And try relaxation techniques—bloating and acidity can be worse when we're stressed, you know?
However, given the nature of IBD, please don't ignore the importance of seeing a healthcare provider. Ayurveda can be complementary to allopathic approaches, not a replacement, especially with complex conditions like IBD. It's always better to be safe. Stay on top of any necessary medical check-ups or treatments alongside these suggestions.
