What Causes Dyspepsia

What causes dyspepsia? Often, doctors can’t find a cause for the irritation to the stomach lining. Stomach ulcers or acid reflux can cause dyspepsia. If you have reflux, stomach acid backs up into your esophagus (the tube leading from your mouth to your stomach).

What triggers dyspepsia?

Overeating or eating too quickly. Fatty, greasy or spicy foods. Too much caffeine, alcohol, chocolate or carbonated beverages. Smoking.

Can dyspepsia be cured?

Q: Can functional dyspepsia be cured? A: There is no cure for functional dyspepsia. Most people manage their symptoms well with lifestyle changes and medications. Treating Helicobacter pylori (if present in the stomach) may significantly reduce the symptoms.
