Dyspepsia

World-class gastroenterologists at Houston Methodist Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Health pinpoint the cause of your chronic indigestion and provide a long-term nutritional plan and treatment for dyspepsia.

 

Often called a stomachache or indigestion, dyspepsia is a gastrointestinal (GI) condition with common symptoms and hard-to-detect causes. When we eat, our brain tells our stomach to relax and expand. Research suggests dyspepsia occurs when there is a disconnect between the brain and the stomach.

 

Dyspepsia can make it difficult to finish meals or lead to more serious conditions. There are two types of dyspepsia — organic (acid-related) dyspepsia and functional (anxiety-related) dyspepsia.

 

If you experience acid reflux or difficult digestion with depression symptoms, consult a gastroenterologist at the Underwood Center.
