Diagnosis
Functional and nonfunctional diseases
The distinction between functional disease and non-functional disease may be blurry. Thus, even functional diseases probably have associated biochemical or molecular abnormalities that ultimately will be able to be measured. For example, functional diseases of the stomach and intestines may be shown ultimately to be associated with reduced or increased levels of normal chemicals within the gastrointestinal organs, the spinal cord, or the brain. Should a disease that is demonstrated to be due to a reduced or increased chemical still be considered a functional disease? In this theoretical situation, we can’t see the abnormality with the naked eye or the microscope, but we can measure it. If we can measure an associated or causative abnormality, should the disease no longer be considered functional, even though the disease (symptoms) are being caused by abnormal function? The answer is unclear. ![]()
Despite the shortcomings of the term functional, the concept of a functional abnormality is useful for approaching many of the symptoms originating from the muscular organs of the gastrointestinal tract. To repeat, this concept applies to those symptoms for which there are no associated abnormalities that can be seen with the naked eye or the microscope.
Differentiation
While dyspepsia is a major functional disease(s), it is important to mention several other functional diseases. A second major functional disease is irritable bowel syndrome or IBS. The symptoms of IBS are thought to originate primarily from the small intestine and/or colon. The symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain that is accompanied by alterations in bowel movements (defecation), primarily constipation or diarrhea.
Indigestion and IBS may be overlapping diseases since up to half of patients with IBS also have symptoms of indigestion. A third distinct functional disorder is non-cardiac chest pain. This pain may mimic heart pain (angina), but it is unassociated with heart disease. Non-cardiac chest pain is thought to often result from a functional abnormality of the esophagus.
Functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract often are categorized by the organ of involvement. Thus, there are functional disorders of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and gallbladder. The amount of research that has been done on functional disorders is greatest in the esophagus and stomach (for example, non-cardiac chest pain, and indigestion), perhaps because these organs are easiest to reach and study.
Research into functional disorders affecting the small intestine and colon (IBS) is more difficult to conduct, and there is less agreement among the allopathic research studies, here, we gain significant benefit from research studies in Homeopathy.
This probably is a reflection of the complexity of the activities of the small intestine and colon and the difficulty in studying these activities. Functional diseases of the gallbladder (referred to as biliary dyskinesia), like those of the small intestine and colon, are more difficult to study.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
-
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO):
A potential cause of indigestion is a bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine, although the frequency with which this condition causes indigestion has not been determined, and there is little research in the area. The relationship between overgrowth and indigestion needs to be pursued, however, since many of the symptoms of indigestion are also symptoms of bacterial overgrowth. Overgrowth can be diagnosed by hydrogen breath testing.
Other diseases and conditions can aggravate indigestion and other functional diseases.
-
Anxiety and/or depression:
Depression and anxiety are probably the most commonly recognized exacerbating factors for patients with functional diseases.
-
The menstrual cycle:
During their periods, women often note that their functional symptoms are worse. This corresponds to the time during which the female hormones, estrogen, and progesterone, are at their highest levels.
Furthermore, it has been observed that with allopathy treating women who have indigestion with leuprolide, an injectable drug that shuts off the body’s production of estrogen and progesterone, is effective at reducing symptoms of indigestion in premenopausal women. These observations support the role of hormones in the intensification, but with Homeopathy there is no need to stop the production/function of hormones; Homeopathy is the best and shorter treatment option for all gastro-intestinal diseases.
Non-gastrointestinal indigestion causes
It’s not surprising that many gastrointestinal (GI) diseases have been associated with indigestion. However, many non-GI diseases also have been associated with indigestion. Examples of non-GI causes of indigestion include:
- Diabetes (caused by hormonal disbalance/pancreas and/or gallbladder malfunction),
- Thyroid disease,
- Hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands),
- Severe kidney disease.
It is not clear, however, how these non-GI diseases might cause indigestion.
Another important cause of indigestion is allopathic drugs (all of them). Many drugs are frequently associated with indigestion, for example, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, and estrogens). Almost all allopathic drugs are reported to cause indigestion.
Symptoms of indigestion
We usually think of symptoms of indigestion as originating from the upper gastrointestinal tract, primarily the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. These symptoms include:
- Upper abdominal pain or discomfort (above or around the navel),
- Belching,
- Nausea (with or without vomiting),
- Abdominal bloating (the sensation of abdominal fullness without visible distention),
- Early satiety (the sensation of fullness after a very small amount of food),
- Abdominal distention (visible swelling as opposed to bloating),
- Lower chest pain.
Symptoms most often are provoked by eating, which is a time when many different gastrointestinal functions are called upon to work in concert. This tendency to occur after meals is what gave rise to the erroneous notion that indigestion might be caused by an abnormality in the digestion of food.
Increase in Symptoms of Indigestion
People of all ages and of both sexes could be affected by indigestion because of unhealthy lifestyle (common nowadays due to processed oils/food, white sugar, drinks especially carbonated, coffee, fast food, confectionary etc.).
Indigestion individual’s risk increases with:
- Alcohol consumption,
- Smoking,
- Use of allopathic drugs (all of them irritate the stomach),
- Conditions where there is an abnormality in the digestive tract, such as an ulcer,
- Emotional problems (anxiety, depression).
Causes of Indigestion:
Indigestion has many causes for example: 
- Ulcers (blood in vomit – the vomit may look like coffee grounds)
- GERD,
- Stomach cancer (rare),
- Gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach doesn’t empty properly; this often occurs in people with diabetes),
- Stomach infections,
- Irritable bowel syndrome,
- Chronic pancreatitis,
- Thyroid disease,
- Pregnancy,
- Allopathic medication,
- Eating too much, eating too fast, eating processed oils foods, or eating during stressful situations (included watching TV, Cell phone etc.),
- Drinking alcohol,
- Smoking,
- Stress and fatigue,
- Bad sleeping style,
- Too much coffee intake/tea toddlers.
Diagnosis of Indigestion:
A detailed history of the patient and a physical examination frequently will suggest the cause of dyspepsia.
- Routine screening blood tests are often performed looking for clues to unsuspected diseases.
- Examinations of the stool are a part of the evaluation since they may reveal infection, parasites, signs of inflammation, or blood and direct further diagnostic testing.
- Sensitive stool testing (antigen/antibody) for Giardia lamblia would be reasonable because this parasitic infection is common and can be acute or chronic.
- Some physicians do blood testing for celiac disease (sprue), but the value of doing this is unclear. (Moreover, if an EGD is planned, biopsies of the duodenum usually will make the diagnosis of celiac disease.).
- If bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine is being considered, breath hydrogen testing can be considered.
There are many tests to exclude non-functional gastrointestinal diseases. The primary issue, however, is deciding which tests are reasonable to perform. Since each case is individual, different tests may be reasonable for different patients. Nevertheless, certain basic tests are often performed to exclude non-functional gastrointestinal diseases. These tests identify anatomic (structural) and histological (microscopic) diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. 
Diagnostic tests
Both X-rays and endoscopies can identify anatomic diseases. Only endoscopies, however, can diagnose histological diseases because biopsies (samples of tissue) can be taken during the procedure. The X-ray tests include:
- Esophagram and video-fluoroscopic swallowing study for examining the esophagus.
- Upper gastrointestinal series for examining the stomach and duodenum.
- Small bowel series for examining the small intestine.
- Barium enema for examining the colon and terminal ileum.
- Computerized tomography (CT) scan for examining the small intestine.
An experienced doctor can detect all these diseases by reading/checking pulse with his fingers; to learn checking the pulse, click the link: Pulse Reading and Diagnosis.
Allopathic treatment for Indigestion:
Because indigestion is a symptom rather than a disease, treatment usually depends upon the underlying condition causing the indigestion.
