Overview
Functional dyspepsia means your stomach doesn’t work properly despite normal scans. Symptoms include early fullness, bloating, pain—genuinely disabling yet appearing “normal” on investigation.
This doesn’t mean symptoms aren’t real or treatable. Dr Sivaji focuses on how your stomach functions, not just what it looks like. Treatment addresses the actual problem.
What to Expect
01
Reassurance & Assessment
Normal scans are reassuring but don’t explain your symptoms. Dr Sivaji asks detailed questions about your stomach function—how quickly you feel full, when bloating occurs, what makes it worse. This understanding guides treatment.
02
Targeted Medication
Functional dyspepsia responds well to specific medications that help stomach function, not just reduce acid. Options discussed, tried, and adjusted based on your response.
03
Dietary & Lifestyle Optimization
You’ll learn how stomach function affects food choices—smaller meals, slower eating, specific trigger foods to avoid. Stress management and sleep improvement often dramatically help.
