Features of treatment and diet for dyspepsia of various types. Dyspepsia: what is it, what are the symptoms and ways to treat the disease

Even from time to time healthy man experiencing some abdominal discomfort. This is usually due to overeating or a violation of the usual diet. Where is the line between normal processes in the gastrointestinal tract and the “first bells” when to see a doctor?

Symptoms of dyspepsia

Before looking for signs of dyspeptic syndrome, you need to know what it is. Dyspepsia is a disorder normal operation stomach, manifested by pain or discomfort in upper divisions stomach (translated from Greek literally means "digestion disorder"). However, it is not necessary that the cause of the problems is in the digestive tract itself. Unpleasant sensations can be caused by an error in the diet, bad habits stress, pregnancy, etc.

• Discomfort, feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region ( top part abdomen where costal arches meet).
• Periodic pain in the same place, not necessarily associated with food.
• Feeling of fullness in the stomach.
• Early satiety is a feeling of fullness that comes as soon as you start eating, even if you have only eaten a couple of tablespoons of food.
• Feeling of bloating, fullness in the stomach (not to be confused with visible swelling lower divisions stomach - flatulence!).
• Nausea.
• Belching of air or stomach contents.
• Heartburn - a burning sensation behind the breastbone associated with reflux gastric juice and food up into the esophagus. It usually occurs if you take a horizontal position immediately after eating.
• Sometimes vomiting followed by temporary relief.

Types of dyspepsia

1. Organic: in this case, the symptoms are caused by some disease (for example, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, oncological process).
2. Functional: a detailed examination does not reveal any signs of the disease, but discomfort persists.

In addition, discomfort is classified according to the factors that caused it.

1. Alimentary dyspepsia associated with a violation of rational nutrition (an excess of carbohydrates causes fermentation reactions, proteins - putrefactive, fats - saponification).
2. lack of enzymes or active substances produced by one or another organ (gastric dyspepsia with a lack of of hydrochloric acid or other components of gastric juice, pancreatogenic - with a decrease in pancreatic function, hepatogenic - underproduction bile in the liver).
3. Dyspepsia in intestinal infections (salmonellosis, dysentery, viral enteritis etc.) or other diseases (flu, acute surgical pathology, purulent infections in any part of the body, poisoning with poisons, including nicotine).
4. Dyspepsia of neurotic origin is a condition in which the cause of discomfort is a violation of the regulation of the work of the stomach by the brain. Occurs when tired prolonged stress, mental illness, use narcotic substances. This condition often takes a sluggish, chronic course.

A separate place is occupied by dyspepsia of pregnant women. On the early dates under the influence of hormones, a woman's body rebuilds all its work in order to create favorable conditions to develop a new life. The mode is changing digestive tract- the load on it increases, and the muscle component weakens.

In the second half of pregnancy, the uterus with the fetus reaches a significant size, oppressing the organs abdominal cavity higher and higher. To avoid discomfort in the epigastric region, women in position should eat more often than usual and in small portions. It is better to give up fried and fatty foods, carbonated drinks, so as not to overload the liver and pancreas.

Why be afraid?

These symptoms may be caused by different reasons. Full list diseases is extremely large - from simple overwork to neglected oncological processes. Therefore, it is important not to neglect the examination, but to consult a doctor in time.

It is necessary to consult a therapist, a gastroenterologist, an infectious disease specialist, and in some cases a psychologist and psychiatrist. The exact list of studies will be appointed by the attending specialist. He will most likely need:

• general blood analysis;
• general urine analysis;
• biochemical analysis blood, which determines the performance of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, the presence of inflammation in the body;
• a detailed analysis of feces (coprogram) to assess the digestibility of food;
• FEGDS (fibroesophagogastrodudoenoscopy) - examination of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum using a special optical instrument; in the course of the study, a biopsy (a small piece of tissue for examination under a microscope) of a suspicious area is taken, acidity is determined in different parts of the digestive tract, population tests are carried out Helicobacter pylori;
• a study of feces or exhaled air for Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that causes gastritis and is involved in the formation of stomach cancer;
• Ultrasound of the abdominal organs;
• in some cases, radiography, CT scan, colonoscopy, tests for helminthiases (helminthic diseases) and giardia.

Treatment of dyspeptic syndrome

• After eating, in no case should you lie down, but it is better not to even sit for 30 to 60 minutes. Stay in vertical position and watch your posture.
• Dinner should be 3 hours before bedtime. Sleep preferably on a high pillow, in a half-sitting position.
• Get rid of tight belts, corsets, women need to choose a bra that does not constrain the volume of the chest.
• Stick to a diet: during the day, preferably 3 large meals and 2 to 3 snacks. The menu should not be biased towards a particular product. Give up carbonated drinks, citrus fruits, strong coffee and black tea, alcohol, smoked, fried foods.

Dyspepsia in children

How younger child, the less mature is its digestive system. She is not ready to process rough or low-quality food, it is easier to "fail". That is why children early age often there are episodes of indigestion, manifested not only by dyspeptic syndrome, but also by diarrhea (diarrhea). Babies have:

• simple dyspepsia,
• toxic dyspepsia.

Simplex is more common in children artificial feeding. Healthy child can withstand minor errors in the diet for quite a long time, however, their negative effect accumulates, and there is a disruption of the adaptation process gastrointestinal tract. It can be provoked by improper preparation or long-term storage of the finished mixture, systematic overfeeding or too frequent feeding, sudden changes in the composition of the diet. Dyspepsia can occur secondarily against the background of overheating of the baby, colds or other diseases.

Toxic dyspepsia is associated not only with errors in the diet of the infant, but also with the ingestion bacterial infection into the gastrointestinal tract. The baby's well-being suffers significantly - there may be a fever, a high risk of dehydration and poisoning with bacterial toxins.

Only a doctor can distinguish between these conditions. Without proper treatment intestinal infection threatens the life of the child!

Thus, dyspeptic syndrome may be a manifestation different states ranging from completely harmless to life threatening. Its manifestations require the attention of the patient and the alertness of the doctor.

Dyspepsia is understood as a set of symptoms that appear with disorders of the digestive tract. Often, such a syndrome makes itself felt when the process of digestion of food in the stomach is disturbed and the bowel movement is slowed down. The impetus for development pathological signs can be a variety of factors, including all kinds of diseases internal organs. If dyspepsia is diagnosed, treatment should begin immediately.

Gastroenterologist Mikhail Vasilyevich:

"It is known that for the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract (ulcers, gastritis, etc.) there are special drugs that are prescribed by doctors. But we will not talk about them, but about those medicines that you can use yourself and at home ..."

Kinds

Dyspepsia is divided into two main forms:

1. Functional. Functional dyspepsia is characterized by the absence of lesions digestive organs organic type. Only functional dyspepsia is present.
2. Organic. In this case, dyspepsia is accompanied structural changes in cellular and tissue systems of the digestive organs. With an organic form of pathology, the signs are characterized by greater severity.

In accordance with the causes that caused the pathological syndrome, dyspepsia is:

1. Alimentary

In this form, there is a direct relationship between the onset of symptoms and malnutrition. It is divided into the following types:

• fermentation. It takes place with the abuse of products enriched with carbohydrate components, as well as drinks, the preparation of which was carried out by the fermentation method;
• putrid. It often develops when consumed in large quantities of protein foods and meat;
• soapy. Occurs when ingested excess fats, which is most often observed when eating pork and lamb meat.

2. Occurring due to deficient secretion of food enzymes

This process greatly complicates the digestion of food in the stomach. In turn, this type of dyspepsia is divided into:

• enterogenic, when there is an insufficient amount of gastric juice;
• gastrogenous, in which there is a deficiency of gastric enzymes;
• hepatogenic, characterized by a violation of the production of bile by the liver;
• pancreatogenic, when the pancreas releases a deficient amount of its own enzymes.

3. Associated with impaired intestinal absorption

This type of dyspepsia develops against the background of malabsorption syndrome, which is understood as a congenital disease, accompanied by impaired absorption of nutrients into the blood.

4. Developing on the background of intestinal infections

In this case, dyspepsia gets its secondary development. May occur in the background:

• dysentery, which is a pathology in which the large intestine is affected. Most hallmark the presence of blood and mucous impurities in the feces;
• salmonellosis, when there is a combination of gag reflex, diarrhea, dizziness.

5. Intoxication

Occurs as a result of poisoning during the development of various pathological processes in the form of infections of a purulent nature, poisoning with toxic substances.

Therapy Methods

The choice of how to treat dyspepsia is largely determined by the symptoms present. In dyspepsia, treatment also involves adjusting the factors that contribute to the development of pathology. important A complex approach, which should consist of:

Medical treatment

Drug therapy is aimed at eliminating clinical manifestations dyspepsia. In this case, the following groups of medicines are used:

1. Prokinetics. They are means that contribute to the normalization of the motor function of the digestive tract. Such drugs are prescribed primarily for indigestion, since dyskinesia is the main and most common factor risk of dyspepsia.
2. Antibiotics. They become relevant when Helicobacter pylori is detected. However, the diagnosis of such pathogenic microorganism sometimes it becomes quite difficult, as a result of which it is applied breath test, the results of which determine the choice of specific groups of antibacterial drugs.
3. Antacids. This group of medicines shows high therapeutic efficacy in ulcerative form dyspeptic disorders. Medicines help to neutralize the increased stomach acidity thereby relieving pain.

It should be noted that dyspepsia has various forms and can develop as a result of numerous chronic diseases. As predisposing factors to the occurrence of dyspepsia are weakened immunity and instability mental health. For this reason, a medical consultation is advisable. Self-treatment is undesirable, since it can aggravate the course of the pathological condition. Sometimes admission is allowed medicines containing active enzyme components. It is important to know that the regular intake of such drugs is undesirable, which is caused by a decrease in the synthesis of enzymes in the body, provided prolonged use the means described. It is useful to take:

• pepsin;
• pancreatin;
• pancrelipase;
• panzinorm.

In the presence of profuse diarrhea, it is important to restore the lost fluid. For this purpose, it is necessary to take rehydron, a powdered agent, a sachet of which is dissolved in a liter of water.

Diet correction

Changing eating habits is one of the main conditions successful treatment dyspepsia. When the first signs of such a disorder appear, you should adhere to a hunger strike for a couple of days. In cases where fasting becomes impossible, evening meals should be abandoned, and all dishes should be consumed in a pureed form. At the same time, it is necessary to comply drinking regimen, at which 2.5 liters of water are drunk during the day. Such a measure is necessary in order to prevent intoxication and dehydration of the body, which develop as a result of diarrhea.

After a couple of days, a treatment is prescribed diet food. The type of diet corresponds to the form of the existing disorder. For example, a large amount liquid stool, which does not have a pronounced odor and is accompanied increased gas formation, there are signs of a fermentative form of dyspepsia. In this case, the diet consists in limiting or completely eliminating foods containing carbohydrates. If there is a chair with fetid odor and the absence of flatulence should speak of putrefactive dyspepsia. In this case, it makes sense to abandon protein foods, giving preference to carbohydrates.

Folk remedies

Traditional medicine also offers a variety of medicinal products helping to fight dyspeptic disorders. One of these are medicinal plants. The most effective for dyspepsia are:

1. Dandelion

For therapeutic purposes, the roots, leaves and flowers of the plant are used. Dandelion tea is very useful, which must be drunk at the end of the course. antibiotic therapy used to restore bowel function. It is also possible to use juice obtained from fresh leaves, as well as decoctions from dried roots. An excellent home remedy for dandelion-based indigestion is a salad made from the fresh leaves of the plant, which contain teraxacin. The action of this substance is aimed at stimulating the digestive system. Its beneficial properties contribute to the production of bile and gastric juice.

Treatment of toxic dyspepsia in adults and children is treated with dandelion leaves and roots, which are pre-mixed with carrot or apple juice. In order to suppress the disease, it is necessary to give such a mixture throughout the day in the amount of half a glass. In the presence of a toxic form of dyspeptic disorder, dandelion tea will be effective. For its preparation, it is necessary to use parts of the plant in dried form. A tablespoon of raw materials is carefully crushed and poured with a glass of boiling water. You can add a little honey to the finished drink.

2. Cumin

It is useful to use cumin for fermentative and putrefactive forms of dyspepsia, as well as in the presence of increased gas formation. To do this, half a teaspoon of fruit is poured with a glass of boiling water. Use medicinal composition should be warm three times during the day.

Mint

Mint is rich:

• essential oils;
• tannins;
• flavonoids;
• vitamin C;
• carotene.

An infusion prepared from the leaves of the plant is excellent for gastritis and enteritis, accompanied by flatulence and dyspepsia. Mint tea improves digestion, which is why it is advisable to drink the drink after taking heavy meals.

In case of development acute form dyspeptic disorder attached alcohol tincture from mint, which can be purchased at pharmacies or prepared independently. To do this, you need fresh and pre-chopped grass in the amount of 100 grams, pour 250 ml of alcohol, and then insist for a week. The intake of such a remedy relaxes the muscular structures of the intestines, facilitating pain syndrome. The dosage is 20-30 drops with a small amount of water.

Physiotherapy

From dyspeptic disorders, therapeutic exercises are excellent. One of these is an activity that helps to improve intestinal perilstatics. Starting position - lying on your back. Next you need:

• bend your legs in knee joints and press to the chest;
• straighten your legs and take your feet with your hands;
• with slow movements, pull the feet towards you, and then away from you.

After a few seconds, the exercise is repeated. It is also useful to perform normal flexion and extension of the raised lower extremities. Such gymnastics can be supplemented with a massage of the abdomen, for which use stroking movements in a clockwise direction. This approach is especially effective in the treatment lazy stomach.

• vomit;
• diarrhea;
• heartburn;

Forgot when it was good mood, and especially well-being?
Yes, digestive problems can seriously ruin your life!

But there is a solution: a gastroenterologist, head of the gastroenterology department Arkhipov Mikhail Vasilyevich

Treatment of dyspepsia always begins with determining the cause of its development, since it is quite obvious that it will be in different occasions radically different. Depending on the type of diseases detected, the patient is individually selected a diet, since the speed of his recovery largely depends on the quality of nutrition in dyspepsia.

Traditional Treatments

As a rule, patients who turn to doctors with dyspepsia are prescribed appropriate for the detected pathology. drug treatment and diet. In severe cases, for example, if the cause of dyspepsia has become, and the patient did not immediately seek medical help, he may be shown surgical intervention.

Thus, the treatment of intestinal dyspepsia consists in the elimination of those pathologies that caused it. Since the features of the treatment of certain diseases accompanied by indigestion are considered in separate materials, now we will dwell in more detail on the treatment of dyspepsia as an independent disease or the consequences of poor nutrition.

Treatment of the functional form of the disease

The diet in the treatment of functional or irritable bowel syndrome does not belong to last value, nevertheless, a big role is given to the normalization of the psycho-emotional background, increasing one's own stress resistance and eliminating negative situations and experiences. Therefore, for the most part, nutritional recommendations for this type of indigestion are of a general nature.

When treating dyspepsia, it is important not to neglect the diet

• alcohol;
• coffee;
• smoking;
• muffin;
• fatty food;
• food with preservatives and so on.

Important: patients are strongly advised to get used to eating fractionally and little by little, as well as forever abandon very cold or, conversely, hot drinks.

Attention! Some prokinetic drugs, when taken for a long time, can negatively affect the central nervous system and cause the development constant drowsiness, fatigue, causeless anxiety and so on.

Treatment of intestinal dyspepsia

With alimentary dyspepsia, the greatest role belongs to the diet. In the first two days of treatment, complete fasting is recommended. On the third day, it is allowed to eat light food, according to the diet for dyspepsia developed by the doctor individually. As far as medications are concerned, antacids are usually sufficient, although proton pump inhibitors may be indicated in more severe cases.

Attention! You need to get out of fasting gradually, otherwise unpleasant symptoms may return again with even greater force.

Treatment of fermentative dyspepsia is carried out by eliminating foods containing a large amount of carbohydrates from the diet for at least 3-4 days. Since the condition of patients with this form of the disease worsens slightly, as a rule, the refusal of carbohydrates is enough for them. quick recovery and elimination of all symptoms.

After a two-day fast, patients are advised to start using small portions of protein food, for example, cottage cheese, boiled fish and lean meat, meat broths and so on. A few days later, the diet is expanded with the help of cereals on the water, fruit purees or jelly, that is, with fermentative dyspepsia, diet No. 4 according to Pevzner is indicated.

Attention! Vegetables and fruits should not be consumed for several weeks, as they can cause the resumption of dyspepsia and its acquisition of a chronic course.

Treatment of putrefactive dyspepsia is carried out after a significant restriction of protein intake. In such cases, 1 fast day is usually enough, after which they switch to a high-carbohydrate diet. Also, for several days it is recommended to drink fruit juices and eat grated apples 1 kg per day.

Gradually, mucous porridges begin to be included in the diet, rice water, crackers and White bread. And after a week, patients can already treat themselves to a small amount:

• butter,
• lean fish,
• chicken fillet,
• vegetable soup,
• mashed potatoes or carrots.

Folk methods of treatment

In most cases, when dyspepsia is the result of malnutrition or stress, it can be dealt with using traditional methods. Treatment of dyspepsia with folk remedies can be carried out by using the following recipes:

Use in the treatment of dyspepsia folk remedies welcomed by representatives of traditional medicine

1. An infusion of cumin and marjoram, which is used to improve digestion after eating fatty foods, is prepared by pouring 200 g of boiling water into 2 tablespoons of these spices. After the remedy is infused for 15 minutes, it is drunk 2 times a day.
2. Chopped roots with elecampane rhizomes (1 tablespoon) are poured into a glass cool water and leave to infuse, previously covered with a lid. After 8 hours, the remedy is filtered and taken ¼ cup before meals. Usually, to normalize the state of the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to be treated with elecampane tincture for a month.
3. Eliminate pain and you can improve the condition of the gastrointestinal tract with the help of an infusion prepared from 15 g of fennel fruits, exactly the same amount of calamus rhizome, 20 g of valerian root. A pinch of the resulting mixture is brewed in an iron bowl with a glass of boiling water and left for 15 minutes. The finished product is taken ¾ cup twice a day.
4. To relieve spasms and intestinal colic you can take baths with the addition of 1 liter of broth lime blossom. The duration of the procedure should not exceed 15 minutes.
5. To combat increased gas formation, you can use a decoction of sage, mint, yarrow and chamomile. Herbs are taken in equal amounts and 1 teaspoon of their mixture is poured with boiling water. Be sure to let the remedy brew under the lid for 30 minutes, after which it is taken ½ cup twice a day.

Attention! Before starting treatment with this or that remedy, it is necessary to obtain the permission of the doctor, because in the presence of certain diseases, the use of heat or some medicinal plants may be strictly contraindicated.

Dyspepsia is a collective term for digestive disorders of a predominantly functional nature, arising from insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes (see Malabsorption Syndrome) or poor nutrition (alimentary dyspepsia).

Types of dyspepsia

Nutritional dyspepsia occurs as a result of prolonged malnutrition. There are fermentative, putrefactive and fatty dyspepsia. Fermentative dyspepsia is associated with overuse eating carbohydrates (sugar, honey, flour products, fruits, grapes, peas, beans, cabbage, etc.), as well as fermentation drinks (kvass), as a result of which conditions are created in the intestines for the development of fermentative flora. Putrefactive dyspepsia occurs with the predominant consumption of protein foods, especially lamb, pork meat, which is digested more slowly in the intestines. Sometimes putrefactive dyspepsia occurs due to the use of stale meat products in food. Fatty dyspepsia is caused by excessive consumption of slowly digested, especially refractory, fats (pork, mutton).

Violation motor function digestive tract (acceleration of the passage of chyme) makes it difficult for normal digestion and contributes to the development of dyspepsia. At the same time, in dyspepsia, unusual or excessive cleavage products are formed nutrients(organic acids, indole, skatole, hydrogen sulfide) irritate the receptors of the intestinal mucosa and cause an acceleration intestinal peristalsis. Digestive disorder disrupts normal development intestinal microflora and causes dysbiosis.

Symptoms and course of the disease

Fermentative dyspepsia is manifested by flatulence, rumbling in the intestines, excretion a large number gases, frequent, slightly colored liquid foamy stool With sour smell. In a coprological study, a large number of starch grains, crystals of organic acids, fiber, and iodophilic microorganisms are determined. The reaction of feces is sharply acidic.

Putrid dyspepsia is also manifested by diarrhea, but the color of the stool is richly dark, the smell is putrid. Due to general intoxication with decay products (dimethylmercaptan, hydrogen sulfide, indole, skatole, etc.), loss of appetite, weakness, and decreased performance are not uncommon. Microscopic examination of feces reveals creatorrhoea. The reaction of feces is sharply alkaline.

With fatty dyspepsia, stools are light, plentiful, with a greasy sheen, neutral or alkaline reaction. Coprological examination reveals in them a large amount of undigested neutral fat (in the form of drops), crystals fatty acids and their insoluble salts.

Diagnosis of dyspepsia

The diagnosis is established on the basis of questioning the patient (nature of nutrition), clinical manifestations of dyspepsia, data from a scatological study. With sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy, no signs of inflammation of the colon mucosa are detected.

Prevention of dyspepsia comes down to rational nutrition and prevention of diseases leading to the development of dyspepsia.

Treatment of dyspepsia

A properly adjusted diet is of great importance. It is necessary to treat the underlying disease ( chronic gastritis, chronic pancreatitis and etc.).

More than half of the population in developed countries experience some discomfort associated with digestion. For this reason, many have repeatedly heard about such a medical term as dyspepsia. Such a diagnosis is made by a doctor in violation of digestion. The condition can cause various diseases stomach, as well as human food. Let us analyze in more detail what dyspepsia is, the symptoms and causes that cause the syndrome, as well as methods for its elimination.

Dyspepsia - what is it?

Dyspepsia is a disorder of the digestive system associated with a lack of enzymes necessary for the digestion of food. This condition leads to the so-called syndrome of insufficient absorption of nutrients by the gastrointestinal tract. Dyspepsia is not independent disease but only a symptom of another pathology.

Causes of dyspepsia

The main causes and predisposing factors for the appearance of dyspepsia include:

• gastritis;
• stomach ulcer;
• pathology of the pancreas;
• inflammatory processes in the intestines;
• hypovitaminosis;
• taking a certain group of drugs;
• increased acidity of the stomach;
• dyskinesia.

Often, psychogenic factors, in particular stressful situations, lead to indigestion. This condition is called functional dyspepsia, in which there are no organic pathologies. This syndrome is more common in women than in men.

Important! Lack of diet, eating junk food and fatty foods large quantities leads to indigestion.

Dyspepsia is also seen in food allergies, diaphragmatic hernia, cholelithiasis, cholecystitis and pancreatitis. The syndrome is eliminated by treating the pathologies that caused it, or by correcting nutrition.

Types of dyspepsia

By causal factor allocate functional (alimentary) and organic dyspepsia caused by a lack of enzymes.
Functional dyspepsia is further subdivided into three types:

• fermentation;
• putrid;
• fat.

Fermentative dyspepsia occurs due to the predominance of carbohydrate foods in the diet, which causes active fermentation in the body. This category of products includes:

• sweet pastries;
• sugar;
• candies;
• grape;
• legumes;
• white cabbage;
• kvass;
• beer.

The use of products from this category leads to the development of fermentative microflora.

Putrefactive dyspepsia provokes the use of large quantities of protein foods. This category of products includes:

• pork;
• mutton;
• beef;
• sausage.

Fatty dyspepsia occurs on the background of consumption in large quantities lard and its derivatives. The product contains refractory fats that are difficult to break down.

Organic dyspepsia is divided into the following types:

• hepatogenic;
• cholecystogenic;
• gastrogenic;
• pancreatogenic;
• enterogenic;

Dyspepsia caused by several pathologies at once is called mixed.

Dyspepsia: symptoms

Symptoms of dyspepsia depend on its type. However, there are a number common symptoms characteristic of all species. These include:

• nausea;
• heartburn;
• belching;
• feeling of fullness and heaviness in the abdomen;
• increased gas formation;
• stool disorder.

The patient experiences discomfort in upper area abdomen and suffers from excessive flatulence. In this case, there is a rapid stool.
For organic dyspepsia caused by the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, the following symptoms are characteristic:

• unpleasant taste in the mouth;
• heartburn;
• liquid stool;
• rumbling in the stomach;
• general malaise.

In rare cases, insomnia and headaches may occur. feces patient contain many pieces of undigested food.

With fermentative dyspepsia, there is flatulence, diarrhea, pain and rumbling in the abdomen.

The putrid form is accompanied by symptoms resembling intoxication of the body. General weakness, nausea, headache. The feces have dark color and bad smell.

For fatty indigestion frequent diarrhea are not typical. The patient experiences a feeling of heaviness and fullness in the abdomen. Among characteristic symptoms you can also highlight excessive flatulence, belching and pain after eating.

Diagnosis of dyspepsia

The diagnosis is made on the basis of the following studies:

• general and biochemical blood test;
• feces on worm eggs;
• Analysis of urine;
• coprogram;
• Abdominal ultrasound.

The required amount of research is determined by a gastroenterologist. The purpose of diagnosis is to identify the pathologies that caused the syndrome.

Treatment methods for dyspepsia

Therapy depends on the form of the syndrome and is aimed at reducing the intensity of symptoms and preventing relapses.

Medical therapy

With organic dyspepsia, drug treatment is prescribed. In the gastrogenous form, medications from the antacid group are prescribed, as well as antisecretory drugs. This category includes:

• Almagel Neo;
• Famotidine;
• Ranitidine.

Other forms involve taking combinations of antacids and prokinetics. Prokinetics include the following drugs:

• Domperidone;
• Metoclopramide;
• Cisapride.

Action medicines It is aimed at increasing the frequency of contractions of the stomach, thereby accelerating its emptying.

Important! Medical therapy is prescribed only after the identification of the factor that provoked the syndrome. Self-medication can lead to aggravation of the condition.

To make you feel better, you can take drugs such as Mezim, Pancreatin, Pancrelipase, etc. This group of medicines contains enzymes that will help ease digestion. Regular use of these medicines is not recommended.

Non-drug therapy

Functional form caused by stressful situations and malnutrition, is eliminated with the help of diet therapy and the elimination of the factors that caused the condition.

With functional dyspepsia, a deep psycho-emotional restructuring is necessary, which consists in minimizing stress and changing the patient to negative situations. Exercise and yoga can help with this. Physical exercises improve digestion and general well-being.

For resistance to stressful situations as sedatives tincture of motherwort or valerian may be prescribed.

Traditional medicine

To alleviate the condition with dyspepsia, decoctions based on cumin, dill, celery, mint or fennel are used.

To prepare caraway broth, take a teaspoon of seeds and brew in a glass of boiling water. Take half a glass before meals. In a similar way, drinks are prepared from other plant components. To increase the effectiveness of herbal medicine, decoctions can be alternated every other day.

diet therapy

With fermentative, putrefactive and fatty and organic form of dyspepsia, nutritional correction is indicated. The following categories of foods are eliminated from the diet:

• fried and fatty foods;
• sweet;
• flour baking;
• spicy seasonings;
• salinity;
• carbonated drinks;
• legumes;
• white cabbage;
• grape;
• garlic;

Consumed dishes must be stewed or steamed. The diet should include fermented milk products, cottage cheese, cheese, cereals, chicken and vegetables without a large amount of complex carbohydrates(beets, carrots, etc.).

Eating should be frequent, but in small portions. Overeating should not be allowed and long intervals between doses should not be allowed. After eating, the patient should actively move.

Prevention

Preventive measures to combat dyspepsia include:

• proper balanced nutrition;
• compliance with the diet;
• physical exercise;
• rejection of bad habits;
• elimination of stressful situations;
• minimizing the use of foods that provoke the syndrome.

In addition to dietary modification and psycho-emotional state, it is necessary to establish a drinking regimen: consume at least one and a half liters of water per day. It helps not only to remove toxins from the body, but also reduces the feeling of hunger, which reduces the risk of overeating.
If symptoms of dyspepsia are detected, it is recommended to immediately contact a gastroenterologist to determine the etiology of the syndrome.
