Dyspepsia is the pain that is felt above the abdomen. It is caused by a dysfunction in the stomach or the organs around it. Among the causes of dyspepsia is gastroesophageal reflux disease. This pathology results in the flow of acid to the esophagus. Indeed, this acid should be in the stomach in order to digest the food that arrives there. This disease can lead to inflammation or damage in the stomach, intestines or esophagus.
In addition, when dyspepsia is not accompanied by damage to these organs, it is called "functional dyspepsia" or "dyspepsia without ulcers". The real causes of these last two pathologies have not yet been discovered. Stress can worsen the symptoms of dyspepsia. Affecting more than 40% of the population, dyspepsia is an illness that can manifest itself in different ways. Fortunately, it is easily treated with homeopathic remedies.
Symptoms
Generally, it is after meals that the signs of dyspepsia are most obvious. The patient suffers from epigastric pain and discomfort. Most often, bloating of the abdomen and constipation occur as soon as a glass of water, café au lait or soup is consumed. Sometimes, patients suffering from dyspepsia feel burns in the stomach. Vomiting, regurgitation, nausea, fatigue or drowsiness after meals may be observed in these people.
In addition, these people have difficulty digesting food, they burp very often, thus bringing out a smell of food. These regurgitations are very annoying and usually occur when there is a change in diet. People with dyspepsia have a great desire to consume sweet or acidic foods. It doesn't take long for these people to feel hungry, however, they only need to eat very little to be full. They are also very demanding in terms of food.
