Quick Summary

In this randomized controlled trial, traditional dietary advice did not improve outcomes related to indigestion.

What was studied?

The effect of traditional dietary advice on postprandial distress syndrome (PDS; stomach-related indigestion after eating).

The primary outcome was clinical response, defined by (i) over 50% adequate relief of indigestion symptoms (answered with a yes or no from participants) and (ii) a reduction of more than 0.5 point in the PDS subscale of the Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS).

The secondary outcomes were improvements in PDS — measured by individual LPDS items, the Nepean Dyspepsia Index, and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale for irritable bowel syndrome — and mental health outcomes (such as anxiety and depression), as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the 12-item Patient Health Questionnaire.
