Chronic functional dyspepsia. Possible outflow obstruction.

To the best of my knowledge, both of those have been ruled out. At the moment I'm doing little to manage my diet except eating more frequent, smaller meals (or snacking through the day). I don't have any allergies as far as we know. Have also used liquid nutritional supplements.

At this point, I've had opinions from 4 separate medical teams. Will be getting an endoscopic ultrasound to try and figure out if there really is an obstruction in the next couple months.

Any thoughts? 🙂

I read your story with great interest and so sorry for what you are going through. Several years ago I could not eat more that a few bites of food, like you, and lost too much weight. They did several tests, including a Hyda scan ( for gallbladder) and it was negative. The pain and nausea went on for a year and then I was hospitalized. After a week there, they did another type of scan and it showed a diseased gallbladder (no stones) so they removed it and it made the symptoms disappear. I recently had an endoscopic ultrasound for upper abdomen burning (not inside the stomach itself) and only had a narrowing of the common bile duct, so it was negative.
Now diagnosed with Functional Dyspepsia and put on 25mg of Desipramine to see if it will help. I realize you posted this in 2017. How are you doing now and what did they find out?
