Severe gas and bloating after every meal — what should I do?

Classic Vata-type digestive dysfunction, worsened by your irregular meal timing. The good news: Ayurvedic interventions work quickly here. Immediate relief protocol: Hingvashtaka Choornam 3g with the first bite of every meal — this is the single most effective intervention; Pippalyadi Kwatha or Avipattikara Choornam 5g before meals if there's also acidity; Castor oil 1 tsp at bedtime twice a week if there's constipation alongside. Lifestyle (non-negotiable): Fixed meal times (within a 30-minute window every day), warm cooked food only (no raw salads, no smoothies), no liquids 30 minutes before/after meals, chew thoroughly, no eating while working/scrolling. Realistic timeline: 5-7 days for noticeable bloating reduction; 3-4 weeks for stable digestion. If no improvement in 3 weeks: worth a video consult — sometimes there's underlying Pitta or H. pylori component that needs different approach.
