- Preparation for possible breath or stool tests, which may require stopping antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors beforehand.
- Maintaining a symptom diary to track food intake, symptoms, and potential triggers before the consultation.

Anika Roy, a 28-year-old junior architect,...
Anika Roy, a 28-year-old junior architect, had been struggling for six months with a persistent, gnawing pain in her upper abdomen that felt like a constant, dull pressure. It was worse when she was stressed about tight project deadlines. She also experienced early fullness during meals and frequent bloating, which made client dinners awkward. Her primary care doctor ruled out H. pylori and tried a short course of antacids with little relief. The gastroenterologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended an upper endoscopy (EGD) to visually confirm Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia and rule out subtle inflammation, ulcers, or celiac disease. Anika was anxious but relieved to get answers. The procedure itself, under sedation, was quick and painless. The results showed a perfectly healthy stomach and duodenum lining, definitively diagnosing Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia. Dr. Sharma prescribed a low-dose tricyclic antidepressant to modulate gut-brain nerve signals and recommended stress-management techniques. Within three weeks, Anika's pain significantly decreased. Emotionally, she moved from frustration and worry about a serious illness to validation and relief. Understanding the brain-gut connection helped her address work stress proactively, giving her a sense of control over her health.
