Which symptom is NOT listed for Kapha type grahani roga?

• A. Epigastric fullness
• B. Mucous in stools
• C. Entire tongue coated
• D. Burning sensation in the GI tract

Answer: (D)

In Kapha-dominant grahani roga, the digestive disturbance shows a damp, heavy, and mucus-filled picture. Kapha tends to slow digestion, cause heaviness and fullness, and generate mucus and a coating that spreads over the tongue. So the typical features you’d expect are epigastric fullness from the sluggish agni, mucus in stools from the mucous-creating tendency of Kapha, and a tongue that’s coating the entire surface due to ama accumulation and Kapha imbalance.

A burning sensation in the GI tract, however, signals irritation or excess heat in the digestive tract, which aligns more with Pitta (agni-related) involvement rather than Kapha. That is why burning in the GI tract is not characteristic of Kapha type grahani roga.

Thus, the symptom not listed for Kapha type grahani roga is the burning sensation in the GI tract.
