Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 You're having trouble with your stomach. You feel uncomfortable. It's not heartburn, but it may be related to eating. You feel bloated and full. You complain of nausea, or sometimes you even vomit. You think you might be having " indigestion. " Doctors call it dyspepsia - literally, " bad digestion. " The word is derived from the Greek dys, which means bad, and peptein, which means " to cook " or " to digest. " The term functional dyspepsia (FD) is used to describe persistent upper abdominal pain that's often related to eating, and for which there is no identifiable cause such as peptic ulcer disease. Because peptic ulcer disease produces similar symptoms, functional dyspepsia is sometimes called nonulcer dyspepsia. Sound familiar?
