Your digestion issue is functional and reversible not disease-based. Focus on gut repair, probiotics, warm meals, and regular routine. Within 2–3 weeks, you’ll feel lighter, with better digestion and energy.
I understand how uncomfortable these digestion issues can feel — especially when even light foods cause gas or a heavy feeling. Since your gastroscopy is normal, this usually means the problem is more functional — related to weak digestion, gut imbalance, or food sensitivities, not a serious disease. Let’s work on improving your digestive strength naturally step by step -:
1. Eat small, frequent meals: Instead of 2–3 large meals, have 4–5 light meals through the day. Avoid long gaps or overeating — it can worsen gas and bloating.
2. Choose easy-to-digest foods: Start with soft, well-cooked foods like khichdi, moong dal soup, vegetable stew, rice gruel (kanji), or boiled vegetables. Avoid raw salads, beans, fried foods, and excess masala for now.
3. Support gut healing: Sip warm water or jeera-ajwain water through the day to reduce gas. You can also try ginger or fennel tea after meals for mild digestion support.
Avoid buttermilk temporarily since it’s not suiting you; once digestion improves, we can reintroduce it slowly.
4. Include probiotics & fiber gently: If buttermilk causes discomfort, try a small spoon of homemade curd after lunch (if tolerated). For fiber, include soft-cooked vegetables, papaya, and soaked chia seeds — but in small portions initially.
5. Avoid common triggers: Limit tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, onion, cabbage, chana, rajma, and bakery foods — these can increase gas.
6. Mindful eating habits: Eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and avoid lying down for at least 30–45 minutes after meals.
7. Stress and sleep: Stress directly affects the gut. Deep breathing, short walks, and 7–8 hours of sleep will help your digestion normalize faster.
Once your gut settles, we can slowly rebuild your “agni” (digestive fire) with light spices like cumin, ginger, and ajwain in cooking. If the problem continues for more than 10–15 days, I’d suggest getting your thyroid, vitamin B12, and stool test checked — these sometimes contribute to poor digestion or constipation.
If your gastroscopy is normal, that’s a positive indicator, but persistent digestive issues like gas, retention of stool, and irritation suggest that your digestive system might need some support. First, consider your diet: try to identify any specific foods that trigger your symptoms. You might want to start an elimination diet to pinpoint potential intolerances or sensitivities. Cut out common culprits like dairy, gluten, or high FODMAP foods to see if symptoms improve. Ensure your diet includes plenty of fiber from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which can help with bowel regularity, though you should introduce fiber gradually to prevent bloating. Drinking adequate fluids is crucial as well, aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day, and consider adding herbal teas like peppermint or ginger which can aid digestion. Probiotics might also be beneficial in balancing gut bacteria, try yogurt with live cultures or probiotic supplements after consulting your doctor. Stress can have a significant impact on digestion; it’s worth exploring stress-reduction techniques such as yoga, meditation or mindfulness. Regular physical activity, even just walking after meals, can improve gut motility and ease constipation. If these strategies don’t seem to help, it might be time to consider other conditions like IBS or food malabsorption syndromes, so a revisit to your healthcare provider for further evaluation could be essential. It’s also beneficial to keep a detailed symptom diary, tracking meals, stress levels, and bowel habits for your doctor to review. If you experience severe abdominal pain, significant weight loss, or blood in stools, seek medical attention promptly as these can be signs of more serious conditions.

1. Your symptoms suggest slow digestion and mild IBS (Irritable Bowel Tendency) where the gut muscles and bacteria balance are disturbed.
2. Eat small, light meals every 3 to 4 hours and avoid oily, spicy, and packaged foods completely.
3. Take warm water after meals, include curd or probiotic daily once digestion improves, and walk for 10–15 minutes after lunch and dinner.
4. Add fibre rich foods like papaya, banana, oats, and vegetables. Drink at least 2.5–3 litres of water daily.
5. If symptoms persist, your doctor may advise probiotic capsules and mild digestive enzyme tablets to restore gut strength. Avoid stress and get proper sleep both affect digestion.

Your symptoms suggest indigestion and constipation, possibly due to irregular eating habits or gut imbalance. Even with a normal gastroscopy, lifestyle changes and mild medication may be needed to restore digestion. Specialist consultation is advised (Gastroenterologist).
