Postprandial Distress Syndrome Functional Dyspepsia (PDS), (FD) - My Experience, Treatments
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-08-10

The so-called postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) is a variant of functional dyspepsia (FD) characterised by upper GI symptoms such as bloating, fullness, and discomfort that tend to be significantly worse after meals. 

In this video I talk about what this condition feels like (to me); explore some scientific discussion about whether it's a subtype of FD, alongside epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) or an entirely separate disease; and preview an interview I'm holding on this YouTube channel later this month.

Disclaimer: this video is not intended to convey medical advice. It's just my experience intended to help other PDS and FD patients feel less alone dealing with this.
