Does functional dyspepsia go away? or is it lifelong
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dietary issues: "functional" dyspepsia, is lifelong for most people, and a thorough analysis of your diet is the thing to do. You may have a gluten allergy, a lactose intolerance, or other dietary issue. You have to find out what it is, and avoid this substance in your diet.

It depends: Sometimes it goes away, sometimes it evolves into migraine headaches, and sometimes it evolves into IBS. There are many medicines that can help.
