Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the development of non-lesional dyspepsia: various authors suggest an excessively delayed gastric emptying, or excessive gastric secretions or an intestinal cause. The actual pathophysiology of these disorders is probably multifactorial. In the absence of more precise data, we nevertheless have a symptomatic treatment which is often effective. The most severe dyspeptic disorders respond very well, particularly to molecules which act on the tonicity and the motility of the gastro-intestinal tract.
