Hi komalji, I am 50 year old and Ihav what they call Irritiable Bowel Syndrome from 1998. since then i skipped breakfast and wud eat small snack in late afternoon and full meal in nights since eating in the morning or until i am very hungry wud intesity the stomach pain as my intestines were badly swollen for 15 years. From last two years i am having meal in the late afternoon and snacks in the night.but there is no consistency. I prefer to stay on empty stomach although it causes giddiness hunger etc. as eating worsens my condition as i cant digest food at all. i hav serious discomfort/pain/bloatedness after eating. this affects my mind too. My stomach is highly intolerant of many foods (i am vegetarian) including milk,dairy products, protein foods (they cause extreme anger within 20 mins) or vegetables that contain high content minerals. if i take supplements for vitamins or minerals they cause serious side effects including diarrhea, stomach pain, anger etc. but the poor nutritious food is also causing lot of health issues and doctors advise to eat a protein vitamin filled diet which i cant digest. its a catch 22 situation. i hav been to many doctors including homeo ayurveda and been abroad from last 25 years with no results. from last ten years my mind is seriously affected where i rage with anger 24/7 (thats right) for no reason since the deficiencies are causing anger and anxiety too. i am not working from last three years and unable to drive because of anxiety. i cant sleep until early morning and wake up within three to four hours of disturbed sleep from last ten years. my life is ruined becoz of this conditon which many people/doctors dismiss as trivial. friends relatives,siblings dont understand my situation and think i am making this up to compensate my failures in having a good job/income and hav cut off ties with me many years ago. I cud not marry becoz of this condition. gastro enterologists and neurologists hav told me that i will be like this all my life and i know they are right. however, i wud like to know your opinion.

Dear Dr. I am 39 year old and having problems like digestion, Gas during night time. I am not having spicy or oily food in my diet but still facing this health problem. Kindly suggest what need to do

Hello Doctor, For the past 3-4 years I'm having constipation which was not the case earlier. I always have a feeling that my bowel is not emptied every morning when I go to the washroom. Sometimes I have burning sensation in my upper food tract and it takes time for digesting Lunch. Please help me in resolving my constipation problem.

I very easily suffer from gas bloating and constipation. So I have been taking Harde table (Zandu's Haritaki) for last many years. I have focused on increasing fruits and vegetables in my diet. However, slowly my harde intake has gone up to 4 tablets daily to keep it clear everyday. 1 day of mild constipation & I am badly bloated so much that I even get labored breathing and mildy asthmatic. It feels like my intestines have stopped working. I have tried taking probiotic powders many times, and ayurvedic meds like pancharisht etc, but they are all temp relief. i eat curd or buttermilk almost everyday along with veggies or salad and fruit everyday , . However, its like walking on a precipice. 1 day of dinner at a wedding and I indulge, I am back to square one. I am vegetarian, dont smoke or drink, home meals are not very oily or spicy, have reduced eating out to max of once a week. I am 43M and overweight. But no BP or sugar as yet. What can I do to restore my gut and digestive system?
