Dispepsy is one of the most diffuse syndromes in general population. The high number of subjects affected from this pathology and the very annoying symptomatology does so as that the pharmaceutical costs of antacids and of prokinetics are very high. Aim of the study is to assess if a hydropinic therapy is able to facilitate digestive processes of the dispeptic patients accelerating gastric emptying. The 30 recruited subjects, 20 patients and 10 healthy volunteers, have answered to test about their symptoms and have executed a 13C octanoic acid breath test in order to estimate the gastric emptying to a basal time, and 30 days after supplementation of mineral water, 1.5 liters/day, for 21 days. At the end of the study, both the time of gastric emptying and the gastrointestinal symptoms improved after the hydropinic therapy, demonstrating that a supplementazione with mineral water can induce a benefit in the dispeptics subjects.
消化不良是普通人群中最常见的综合征之一。受这种疾病影响的患者数量众多，且症状非常恼人，以至于抗酸剂和促动力药的药物成本非常高。本研究的目的是评估水疗法是否能够通过加速胃排空来促进消化不良患者的消化过程。招募的30名受试者，20名患者和10名健康志愿者，回答了关于他们症状的测试，并进行了13C辛酸呼气试验，以估计基础时间的胃排空情况，以及在每天补充1.5升矿泉水21天后30天的胃排空情况。在研究结束时，水疗法后胃排空时间和胃肠道症状均有所改善，表明补充矿泉水可以使消化不良患者受益。
