Dyspepsia and Other Specified Disorders of Function of Stomach

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether holy basil extract can reduce gastric inflammation and improve symptoms in adult patients with dyspepsia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does holy basil extract reduce gastric mucosal inflammation as measured by histopathology? * Does holy basil extract improve dyspeptic symptoms, endoscopic findings, gastric pH, duodenal eosinophil counts, and systemic inflammation (serum IL-6)? Participants will: * Take 300 mg of holy basil extract orally once daily for 28 days * Complete symptom questionnaires and diaries during treatment * Undergo upper endoscopy with biopsy and intragastric pH monitoring before and after treatment * Provide blood samples for inflammatory marker measurement * Be monitored for safety and adverse events

The goal of this observational study is to learn about gastric myoelectric activity in children with GI symptoms. The main question it aims to answer is which patterns or signals are associated with GI symptoms as measured by a body surface gastric mapping (BSGM) device. Participants will have their stomach activity recorded for up to 4 hours using the BSGM device and log real-time symptoms. Researchers will compare the recordings of healthy children and children with GI symptoms to define abnormal GI patterns.

Dyspepsia refers to chronic or recurrent upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms originating from the gastroduodenal region with a significant impact on patients' lives. Functional dyspepsia comprises the diagnostic categories of epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) with epigastric pain or burning and postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) with meal-related fullness or early satiation, which are unexplained after routine investigation including upper GI endoscopy 2. Despite the common occurrence of FD in up to 15% of the general population, the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear and no treatments of proven efficacy are available in Europe for this condition. Our group has demonstrated increased duodenal mucosal permeability and low-grade inflammation in FD patients, correlating with meal-related symptoms. The causes of the barrier defect and immune activation are unknown but candidates include psychological stress, luminal food components, (bile) acid and microbiota. The symptoms most closely associated with increased eosinophil counts in the duodenum are early satiation and postprandial fullness, which are typical PDS symptoms, and which are also associated with impaired gastric accommodation to meal ingestion and delayed gastric emptying. Previously the efficacy of the Kampo medicine Rikkunshito (TJ-43) has been shown in FD. The exact mode of action remains to be determined. Previous studies have provided mechanistic evidence that rikkunshito is able to improve gastric accommodation, improve food intake and enhance circulating levels of the orexigenic gut peptide ghrelin. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Rikkunshito in comparison to placebo in PDS patients recruited from primary care in Belgium, and to evaluate whether this is associated with changes in duodenal mucosal low-grade inflammation.

The goal of this placebo controlled randomized double blind interventional study is to assess the effect of palmitoylethanolamide supplementation in patients with functional dyspepsia The main questions it aims to answer are: * The efficacy of PEA on functional dyspepsia symptoms measured using the LPDS questionnaire * The effect of PEA on duodenal mucosal permeability. Participants will receive an 8-week during treatment with PEA 3x400 mg per day or placebo 3 times per day.
