Dr. Mayuri Kakoti · Accepted Answer

Dear Balakrishnan,

I understand that dealing with gastritis, bloating, and constipation for a long time without relief can be frustrating. Additionally, your shoulder, back, and knee pain from arthritis must be making daily life more difficult. Since your symptoms worsen after breakfast, this could be related to diet, digestion, or gut health issues. Let’s break it down step by step to help you feel better.

1. How to Relieve Gastritis & Bloating

✔ Eat smaller meals – Instead of 3 big meals, try 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day.
✔ Avoid gas-forming foods – Reduce spicy foods, fried foods, carbonated drinks, and pulses (like rajma, chana) in large amounts.
✔ Drink warm water – Especially in the morning to improve digestion.
✔ Probiotics help – Curd, buttermilk, or probiotic capsules (like Sporlac, Vibact) can reduce bloating and improve gut health.
✔ Acid control – If not already taking, an antacid (like Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast) for 2-4 weeks can help with gastritis.

2. How to Improve Constipation

✔ High-Fiber Diet – Eat papaya, banana, oats, whole wheat, and green leafy vegetables daily.
✔ Psyllium Husk (Isabgol) – 1 spoon in warm water at night helps smooth bowel movement.
✔ Hydration is Key – 2.5 to 3 liters of water daily is necessary.

3. Joint & Back Pain Relief

✔ Gentle Stretching & Walking – Daily 15-20 mins of walking keeps joints mobile.
✔ Calcium & Vitamin D Supplements – Consider taking Calcium (500mg) & Vitamin D3 (2000 IU daily) for bone strength.
✔ Hot & Cold Therapy – Use a warm compress for knee/back pain in the morning and an ice pack if swelling occurs.
✔ Pain Relief Medications – If pain worsens, consult a doctor for mild painkillers or Ayurvedic oils like Rumalaya for massage.

Final Suggestions

Since your symptoms are long-term, I’d recommend:
	•	A complete stomach check-up – Get an endoscopy if acidity persists despite treatment.
	•	Stool test & ultrasound – To rule out gallbladder, liver, or intestine-related issues.
	•	Thyroid & diabetes check-up – Constipation & bloating can also be linked to hypothyroidism or diabetes.

Try these remedies for 2-3 weeks and observe changes. If no improvement, a gastroenterologist consultation is recommended. 
Take care and stay strong!

Dr. Alan Reji · Answer

Since you have gastritis, bloating, and constipation, along with shoulder, back, and knee pain from early-stage arthritis, here are some suggestions to help manage your symptoms.

1. Remedies for Gastritis, Bloating, and Constipation

Dietary Changes:

Eat small, frequent meals instead of large ones to reduce bloating.

Avoid spicy, fried, and acidic foods, as they can irritate the stomach lining.

Include fiber-rich foods (vegetables, fruits, and whole grains) to ease constipation.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes:

Take probiotic supplements or yogurt with live cultures to improve gut health.

You can also consider digestive enzyme supplements after meals to reduce bloating.

Herbal Remedies:

Sip on warm ginger or peppermint tea after meals to reduce bloating.

Chew on fennel seeds post-meal to aid digestion.

Medications:

For gastritis, you can take antacids (like Pantoprazole or Ranitidine) as prescribed by a doctor.

For constipation, use stool softeners or fiber supplements (psyllium husk) as needed.

2. Remedies for Arthritis and Body Pain

Hot and Cold Therapy:

Apply a hot compress for stiffness and pain in the shoulders, back, and knees.

Use a cold pack if the area is inflamed.

Gentle Stretching and Exercise:

Do low-impact exercises like walking or water aerobics to improve joint mobility.

Try gentle stretches to ease stiffness.

Pain Relief:

Use topical pain-relief gels (NSAID-based) on the affected joints.

Take painkillers only as prescribed by your doctor.

Joint Support:

Use a knee brace or walking aid for added support.

Consider physiotherapy for chronic joint pain.

3. Lifestyle Tips

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent gastritis symptoms.

Practice stress management techniques (breathing exercises, yoga) as stress can worsen gastritis.

Sleep with your head slightly elevated if you experience acid reflux at night.
