- Nonspecific. Complaints of the patient are symptomatic similar to cholecystitis and peptic ulcer, the clinical manifestations are weak, appear not often, but are quite intense.
- Dyskinetic. There is nausea, a feeling of heaviness and overcrowding of the stomach, rapid saturation, even from a small amount of food.

In addition, the aggravating factors are: increased sensitivity of the walls of the stomach to distension due to food intake, internal irritation of the mucous membrane.

- strong coffee;
- fatty dishes;
- cabbage;
- beans and nuts.

Many patients report that they feel much better, adhering to the lean, Asian and Mediterranean diet .
It should be noted that to provoke an aggravation of dyspepsia can the reception of non-steroid anesthetics, biologically active additives with elevated iron content.
