As you might not have that particular ENZYME in your system, which needs to digest the food.
Your Immune system is responding incorrectly to the substance.
Do you have any other symptoms also like gas, bloating, cramps, etc.?
I can see it’s an IBS condition. Or there can be a viral infection/food poisoning.
Trackback and try to identify what had happened when it started. Have you eaten outside/ ordered some food/ under cooked animal product/stale fruits/juice/ pesticide filled milk/ STRESS!

There are few claims that drinking 1-2tbs of apple cider vinegar before
meals can aid digestion.
I am sorry but, there is no/limited scientific research to support this or
other benefits.

erode tooth enamel and can cause stomach upset in some people.
BE CAREFUL as large amounts may be NOT SAFE to consume over long
periods.
If you have to eat Maida then take digestive herbal medicine like pudin hara with the meal. Or take
1 tablet of Milk thistle herb along with the meal.

It's normal to have a headache when there is bloating.
There are 2 main causes of intestinal gas:
swallowing air & bacteria that digest food. Eating fast, eating too much, or feeling stressed increases
the amount of air we swallow. We burp about 50% of this air, the rest passes through the intestines
& is released from the rectum.
Decrease your intake of gas-producing foods for a
few days
like-Meats, fish, nuts, milk, lentils especially chick pea s a& kidney beans. eat light khichdi kind of
food for few days. Drink cumin/ fennel / mint/ ginger tea 2-3 times daily.
Try one herb in one tea, and see how they work for you. and berries don't produce much gas.
Take pudin hara pearls 1 with every meal for 1 week.
If you have regular digestive issue in that case start digestive herb – MILK THISTLE 1-2 TABLET with
every meal for a month.

Humans are unable to digest lectins, so they travel through guts unchanged.
It can cause inflammation, GI problems, leaky gut, joint pain, etc.

Most of these lectin-containing foods are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and have numerous benefits so we can not ignore them.

and pepper. He can ear coconut yogurt with the khichdi. Let him eat this for few days and then start
grains.
Do not give him outside food. Take care.
