“Non-ulcer dyspepsia, also known as functional dyspepsia, is the term used for gastric pain when all organic causes have been ruled out,” says doctors from the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Singapore General Hospital (SGH), a member of the SingHealth group.
Non-ulcer dyspepsia treatment
As stress is suspected to be a cause of non-ulcer dyspepsia, doctors may prescribe low doses of antidepressants and anxiety-relieving drugs to help alleviate symptoms.
Medication to reduce stomach acid is also often given. There are two types of stomach acid-reducing medicines:
H2 blockers, or histamine-2 blockers, which include cimetidine, rantidine, nizatidine and famotidine
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which include omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, and esomeprazole.
Although both work in different ways, they help lower the amount of acid that the stomach produces.
Peptic ulcer treatment
If tests reveal that your gastric pain is due to a peptic ulcer, your doctor is likely to prescribe drugs to reduce stomach acid, as described above.
If your ulcer is related to an H. pylori infection, you may also receive short-term triple therapy, consisting of one acid-reducing agent and two antibiotics. Generally, triple therapy successfully eradicates the bacteria in up to 90 per cent of cases.
6 tips to prevent gastric pain
Whether your gastric pain is diagnosed as non-ulcer dyspepsia or due to a more specific cause, making some simple lifestyle changes can lower your risk of experiencing gastric pain symptoms:
Eat smaller but more frequent meals. If you often suffer from indigestion, have five to six smaller meals a day, rather than three square meals.
