Doctors’ responses
Nancy, your symptoms — gas, bloating, constipation, poor appetite, skin issues (eczema, pigmentation), dark circles, lethargy, and low mood — strongly suggest a malabsorption syndrome possibly linked to gut-related conditions like celiac disease, SIBO, or IBS. Nutritional deficiencies may be affecting both your skin and mental health.
Please consult a gastroenterologist for detailed tests (like stool analysis, vitamin/mineral levels, endoscopy if needed), and consider evaluation by a clinical nutritionist and psychologist for holistic care.

You're describing a chronic gut issue that's affecting your whole body — digestion, skin, mood, and energy. These symptoms are often interconnected and improving your gut health is the key to recovery.
# Your Symptoms Suggest:
* Leaky Gut Syndrome / Poor intestinal barrier
* Nutrient malabsorption(especially B12, iron, zinc, magnesium)
* Chronic constipation and dysbiosis (imbalance in gut bacteria)
* Possible food intolerances(like gluten or dairy)
* Underlying gut conditions like IBS, SIBO, or even celiac disease
Step-by-Step Plan to Heal Digestion & Improve Gut Health
1) Clean Up the Diet (Anti-inflammatory)
#Avoid
* Gluten (wheat, bread, maida)
* Dairy (milk, paneer – may worsen bloating)
* Fried, processed, spicy food
* Refined sugar and packaged food
#Eat
* Soft-cooked vegetables (bottle gourd, pumpkin, spinach)
* Moong dal khichdi with ghee
* Fresh fruits (banana, papaya, pomegranate)
* Soaked nuts & seeds
* Homemade buttermilk (chaas) with roasted jeera & hing
* Add 1 tsp cow ghee on empty stomach in warm water (heals gut lining)
2. Improve Gut Bacteria
* Probiotic-rich foods
* Homemade curd (if tolerated), kanji, fermented rice water
* Can take probiotic capsule like lactulose
Prebiotics
* Banana, garlic, onion, methi soaked overnight
3. Relieve Constipation
* Triphala churna(1 tsp with warm water at night)
* Isabgol with warm water + ghee (not milk)
* Drink 2–3 liters water + include fiber (but slowly)
* Walk daily after meals (15 mins)
4. Natural Supplements (Safe Options)
Poor digestion-Ajwain + black salt, Hing water
Nutrient absorption -Wheatgrass powder,Moringa
Eczema, skin pigmentation-Neem capsules,Amla,Aloe Ashwagandha
Brahmi
Vitamin B12
Omega-3
#5. Lifestyle Tips
* Sleep 7–8 hours
* Don’t eat heavy at night
* Reduce stress (pranayama, gentle yoga)
* Morning sunlight daily (for Vit D)
. Recommended Tests (If not done yet)
Ask your doctor to check:
* CBC ,Vitamin B12, Vit D,
*Iron profile
* Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4)
* Liver function,Stool test
* Celiac antibodies(if gluten suspected)
# Skin Improvement Comes After Gut Heals
Your eczema, pigmentation, and dark circles will improve once:
* Nutrients are absorbed
* Toxins are flushed
* Gut inflammation goes down
