Dr Sujal Patil · Accepted Answer

Namaste, Sandeep Ji. Your bloating and gas could be due to Agni Mandya (weak digestion). Alcohol aggravates vata and pitta doshas, disturbing digestion.

Suggestions:

Dietary changes:
Avoid fried, spicy, and processed foods.
Take warm, light, and freshly cooked meals.
Include ginger, ajwain, and hing in your food.
Lifestyle:
Drink warm water throughout the day.
Practice deep breathing (Pranayama).
Herbal remedies:
Take Hingvashtak churna (1 tsp with warm water before meals).
Use Triphala churna at night (1 tsp with warm water).
Avoid eating late at night. Regularize your routine to balance digestion. Stopping alcohol will greatly help.
Consult a vaidya for personalized treatment. Stay healthy!

To address your bloating and gas issues, particularly after reducing alcohol intake, Ayurveda recommends focusing on restoring digestive health by balancing Agni (digestive fire). A warm, easy-to-digest diet, avoiding gas-forming foods like beans and cabbage, and incorporating digestive herbs like ginger, fennel, cumin, and turmeric can help soothe your digestive system. Triphala and ajwain are effective for improving digestion and reducing bloating, while mindful eating, proper hydration, and regular physical activity like yoga and walking will support overall gut health. Additionally, incorporating pranayama for stress reduction can further aid digestion. Reducing alcohol over time will also support liver and digestive function, but consistency is key for long-term improvement.

Dr. Harsha Joy · Answer

Bloating and gas are often signs of aggravated Vata and weak Agni (digestive fire). Reducing alcohol intake is a great step, as alcohol can disturb digestion and imbalance Vata and Pitta doshas. Focus on warm, cooked foods, and include digestive spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel in your meals. Avoid raw, cold, or overly processed foods. Drink warm water or herbal teas like ginger or ajwain tea throughout the day. Practice mindful eating—chew food well and avoid overeating or irregular meal times. Regular yoga or pranayama can also help improve digestion and calm Vata.
