Intolerance to sour foods and oily foods is described as a feature of which grahani roga type?

• A. Kapha type
• B. Pitta type
• C. Vata type
• D. Sannipata grahani roga

Answer: (B)

Intolerance to sour foods and oily foods points to a Pitta-dominant grahani. In this condition the digestive fire is already hot and irritable, so substances that are sharp or heating to the system—like sour tastes and fatty, oily foods—tend to aggravate the agni and provoke symptoms such as burning, discomfort, or diarrhea. The body reflects this by avoiding these foods, signaling a predominance of Pitta in the grahani dysfunction. Other dosha-dominant patterns would show different dietary sensitivities, so this specific intolerance aligns best with Pitta involvement in grahani.
