Hi,

Thanks for the query.

The condition you are facing is regarded as "Mand agni" in ayurved.

The reasons for mandagni are many - right from untimely meals, irrational meals, improper sleep, stress, lethargic nature, having heavy meals, abdominal worms, constipation, liver disorders, gastritis, colitis, etc. When this 'agni' is less than needed state a toxic matter called 'aam' is generated which further causes fullness of abdomen and many other problems.

In general we recommend balanced and timely meals, rational meals, regular exercise stress / free life style and clear bowel.

Amongst medicines Syp. Livomyn, arogya vardhini vati, lashunadi vati or chitrak adi vati and lavan XXXXXXX or hingwashtak churan are sufficient to make this agni normal.

In diet use of garlic one clove early morning empty stomach is good, and chutney (paste) made with onion, pudina [mint], coriander leaves, anardana [dried pomegranate seeds ], tomato, black salt and sugar acts as appetiser and digestive aid.

I hope this will cure your problem. Let me know if you have any doubts.

Wish you a healthy life.

Dr. Rajesh Lakhanpaul

Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for providing additional information.

Your concern about bloating after defecation can be due to constipated effect where in food stays in for a longer time than needed and ferments leading to bloating, but more than this going by your total history and complaints I suspect amoebic infection in your abdomen and derangement of intestinal flora.

Majority of patients feel one symptom I am not sure whether you too feel like that or not----- the stool passes out at one go and there is a feeling that more stool is about to be passed and patients sits in toilet for longer duration waiting for bowels to clear...

Well I consider a little change in suggested medicines. Livomyn, chitrak adi vati, tab amoebica, and lavan XXXXXXX churan mixed with shivakshar churan are sufficient to make this agni normal. Medicines to be taken with XXXXXXX warm water.

For restoration of normal flora, if curd suits you then make Lassi of it by mixing water in it and as top dressing add some cumin seeds after roasting in frying pan to be taken once a day. Have this for 15 days watch the progress and report back.

Regards

Hello Dear XXXXXXX
I am not aware of the fact how you can get medicines in States. Livomyn is a syrup from charak pharmacy 2 tsf twice a day, amoebica and chitrak vati are from baidyanath. In case you are averse to churans add psylum husk [ isabgol ] at bed time to clear your bowel.A pich of black salt in lemon juice shakanjvi [ nimbu pani ] is also good.
Be stress free and have regular light exercise.
Wish you best of health.

Hello,
Review your status after 15 days, the betterment you attain will decide the duration. I believe it should be around one to two months, depending upon your diet and living style changes.
Fresh cooked meal [not reheated] will be best as it is digested easily without loading system, light exercise, may be walk, and joyful attitude will recover you quickly.
Wish you best of health,
Dr. Rajesh Lakhanpaul
