I have acid reflux and horrible indigestion - I don't feel the burning just crushing chest pains after I eat ANY kinds of foods - like the food gets stuck. The doc says its functional dyspepsia (aka - chronic indigestion). Also says there is no cure - anyone else ever get his diagonsis??? I eat really bland foods all the time and it still happens!
Yes I was given that diagnosis by a consultant many years ago. It comes and goes.
No one eats a more bland diet than I do. I did get years of remission after being treated by a homeopath but it eventually returned.
A PPI helps with the acid but not the other symptoms.
Wow, sorry to hear that but glad Im not alone...feeling so alone right now like I am fighting a losing battle. Thanks for your response...I would love to try a homeopath - did your insurance cover that?
I'm in the UK and while it is in some places available on the NHS I went to one privately as it was more convenient but only go to one who is a medical doctor who practices homeopathy as well.
There is a very good medical paper on our condition that I can't locate at the moment. If I can find it I'll send it to you directly.
