Why Is My Stomach Always Upset? What Patients Should Know About Functional Dyspepsia

I wish we had such doctors in Canada he's well knowledgeable

I’ve been diagnosed with FD after dealing with 2 years of nausea and losing 20 lbs. It initially started after going through a very stressful time in my life. The link between gut and brain is true for me although I’ve now have gallbladder issues. What really got rid of my nausea is eliminating all saturated fat from my diet and keeping the good fats low.

A great podcast so much information. Totally a CRUX of all the information on the internet about functional gi disorder .

I’m starting an antidepressant, very low-dose, to treat my functional dyspepsia. I have been very resistant to taking it. But this morning when I saw my G.I. again, I finally agreed to it. This episode truly, truly, truly helped me understand why an antidepressant would work. My G.I. did tell me it’s a brain gut issue but I did not understand that the nerves were so sensitive. It explains so much! Thank you to both of you for putting this out there. I have been suffering with this for most of my life. I am 54 years old. I also suffer from almost daily migraines. The majority of what I experience is extreme bloating originating under my left rib cage, yes, nine months pregnant looking and wrapping to my back with such intense pain. I have tried herbal remedies with only modest improvement. I am very hopeful! 🙏

Majorly helpful! Thank you!

wow, this is so well explained. thanks!

I have just been diagnosed with FD and this has given me a far better understanding of my symptoms and remedies. I have both symptoms the stomach pain and the feeling full quickly limiting food intake. Thank you so much for such a thorough explanation.

Excellent guest and interview!!

This is the BEST Description and information I’ve been able to find. I’ve been struggling for so long and I can move forward with a way to describe my issues and find appropriate help. THANK YOU.

This makes a bunch of sense.

My gastroenterologist has diagnosed me with FD and recommended a low dose of nortriptyline. Although I’ve been hesitant to start this treatment, the herbal remedies I’ve tried so far haven’t been effective. I’ve decided to give the antidepressant a chance, in the hope that it will restore my health to its normal state. Thank you for the informative podcast!

@30:32 for some they make pain and burning worse. Maybe if slow motility already an issue? @30:49 Iberoghast? Vagus nerve therapy vs acupuncture?

I have a sister-friend with bilateral Vestibular neuropathy defined as bilateral loss of homeostasis balance that is connected to her vegus nerves to her stomach. I truly believe she has FD secondary to bilateral Vestibular neuropathy.

I was given 10mg of amitriptyline and it took all of my symptoms from a 10 to 3 and I was severely ill and unable to eat with chronic nausea and vomiting and severe bloating and after the med it all stopped! I don’t want to take this forever. I’ve been on it a year. Is it possible for functional dyspepsia to go away? I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and had hysterectomy fir endometriosis 5 years ago along with chronic migraines and b12 deficiency. I’m a mess and I do all the right healthy things and being monitored by Mayo Clinic and the best doctors and it’s still such a struggle. I take LDN for my fibromyalgia and do al the natural supplements and lifestyle and healthy diet and physical therapy and more and even went to therapy and my therapist is like you are very mentally healthy you are just learning how to live in chronic pain. Only the lord knows what is actually going on with my body. Thank you for this video

Why are so many GI doctors insisting on doing a scope to check for H Pylori? Ugh talk about wasting money

I'm trying to get in to see a GI doctor soon. I've had digestive issues since November 2022. I was diagnosed with gastritis back in 2018 from stress, but what I have now doesn't feel like my normal gastritis flare-ups. I still have an appetite, but eating makes me feel too full no matter the amount. I also have stabbing pains, bloating, burning, and gas. I've been to the doctor and the ER for it multiple times, but they can't seem to find a cause for the issues. I won't mention this to the GI doctor when I do finally see them, but I will explain my symptoms. If this is my problem, then it should be an easier healing process for me because I'm already on busprone for my anxiety. I had no idea it helped stomach issues. My psychiatrist also wants to start me on Mirtazapine because of the amount of weight loss I've had. I can't take Ppis or H2 blockers because I'm also on zoloft and it doesn't mix well with them. I really enjoyed watching this. I don't want to self diagnose but I have a lot of the symptoms you listed so its given me peace of mind to think my issues could be something less severe then gastritis or gallbladder issues. I've had too many test run that have came out normal. I was at a loss for what my problems could be. Now I might have an idea.

I have FD right after I healed from Covid !

I've been to 5 gi docs. The 5 th thinks I have bile acid and put me on powder for D just a few days ago. I had my GB removed 3/17/20 4 years ago when pain started every day unto now. I am never hungry no appetite have to make myself eat it hurts to walk around getting very thin. Newest GI doc thinks it is dypepesia also. Pain clinic put me on 40 deloxitine I got off lyrica. I've have had many test stool, blood, mri, ct ,ultra sound and scope work all come back normal except gastritis and hiatal hernia. I'm 65 pain is upper burning and tighness hurts to back hard to walk around. Lost 45 pds wt 132 5'6. It hurts to eat. Do you think Busburon and Mirtazpine would be better? You seem to know your stuff other 4 docs did not want to give diagnosis or correct meds. Docs just send me to pain clinic. Maybe the 5th will be different. I hope they can cure this soon or lower the pain level to 1 or 2 .Thankyou
