Exploring Treatment Options for Digestive Disorders

There are two main options for digestive disorders - I.B. Guard, containing peppermint oil for IBS, and FD Guard, with caraway oil and L menthol for dyspepsia. These can be purchased online but might be costly for daily use. If these are not effective, treatment can include addressing H. pylori, trying a PPI trial, implementing lifestyle changes, and using neuromodulators like Buseperone for smooth muscle relaxation. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing is crucial. TCAs like nortriptyline or dicypramine are also recommended for epigastric pain syndrome or postprandial distress syndrome.
