Stomach cramps , nausea , vomiting , loss of appetite , bloating , heartburn , nausea , bloating , cramping sensations and diarrhea may occur.
In addition to psychosomatic reasons, changes in pain perception and changes in gastric motility are seen as the cause.
According to the Rome II criteria , one differentiates:
- Ulcer- like dyspepsia
- Dysmotility-related dyspepsia
- This sub-shape is based on a reduced or accelerated movement of the stomach. The symptoms often appear after eating and are irregular in appearance. Often there is stomach pressure, nausea and vomiting, whereby the vomiting can occur even without nausea.
- unspecific dyspepsia
- After a gastroscopy , the treatment is purely symptomatic . It is important to observe and, if necessary, change eating habits and avoid stress. For example, eating many small meals can be helpful.
