Hi Trudi. I feel your concern. You are really brave having had so many surgeries. And most importantly now your determination to follow whatever is instructed.
That's a factor which has motivated me to express the management experience that I acquired through my own life been in the habit of consuming coffees n teas in excess. The difference between you and me is only that I could understand Ayurveda and medical aspects better having been trained in this field.
Do not want to leave coffee or can leave ? Latter option is better. But you die for coffee ! Okay at 65 enjoy the rest of life with little easy procedures.
Get Licorice powder ( Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Amalaki ( Indian gooseberry) -
Phyllanthus emblica powder. Mix in equal quantities. Take half to one teaspoonful, lick by mixing in honey at least 8 hrly or 12 hrly. This will smear your inner lining of stomach and intestines against pungent foods and acid etc. It will heal Ulcers too. Do not take anything for 30 minutes or so. But that doesn't mean you start taking excess coffee.
One more alternative is Avipattikar chooran - a classic herbal powder combo - commonly available in India. May get on net or we can also help if needed. Similar way it can be taken as explained above. If you do not like honey or is diabetic, these may be taken with water or milk too.
Taste may not be palatable. But being natural its safe, effective but little slow unlike toxic drugs. So you will be at advantage with your determination.
As for your
scars and strictures in intestines, please get BAEL ( stone apple) pulp powder. Take 1 tsp twice or thrice in yogurt or with water regularly. If you mix it with Isabgul husk 1 tsp , it will be much better. Again commonly available in India.
Now most important. Learn little
Yoga simple exercises for stomach and intestines. Do for 20- 30 minutes a day. Do little deep breathing exercises. See difference in next one month.
All above are totally harmless, scientific, natural and economic.
Now be happy. Wish you normal consumption of coffee without problems.
If it helps say thanks to HCM.
