What are the best supplements for functional dyspepsia?

Research suggests that peppermint oil and caraway oil combination (as in STW 5/Iberogast), ginger extract, and artichoke leaf extract may help manage functional dyspepsia symptoms. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) may also provide relief by supporting the gastric mucosal lining. Specific probiotic strains, particularly Lactobacillus gasseri, have shown promise in reducing symptoms of postprandial distress syndrome.

Can supplements alone manage functional dyspepsia?

Many individuals with mild to moderate functional dyspepsia find relief through a combination of dietary modifications, stress management, and evidence-based supplements. Eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding trigger foods, and managing stress can complement supplement use. However, persistent or severe symptoms should be evaluated by a gastroenterologist to rule out organic causes like H. pylori, peptic ulcers, or gastric malignancy.

When should I see a doctor for functional dyspepsia symptoms?

See a doctor if you experience persistent upper abdominal discomfort, early satiety, or postprandial fullness lasting more than 4 weeks, especially if accompanied by alarm features like weight loss, vomiting, dysphagia, or anemia. Individuals over 60 with new-onset dyspepsia should undergo endoscopy to rule out malignancy. A proper diagnosis is important because functional dyspepsia is a diagnosis of exclusion.
