OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis of functional dyspepsia (FD) is challenging due to the lack of reliable biological markers to support the diagnosis. We assessed the relevance of a previously validated simple test for chemical hypersensitivity in the setting of a gastrointestinal outpatient department.
METHODS: A total of 224 outpatients who were referred for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms in the absence of alarm symptoms swallowed a capsule containing 0.75 mg capsaicin. Severity of symptoms before and after capsule ingestion was assessed by a graded questionnaire and the difference in aggregate symptom scores (delta) was calculated.
RESULTS: Sensitivity of the test was between 0.51-0.59, specificity was 0.84-0.89 and positive predictive value for the diagnosis of FD 70-71%. FD patients had significantly higher median delta symptom scores (10.0; 25% quartile: 3.0; 75% quartile: 16.0) as compared to inflammatory bowel disease (2.5; 1.0/8.5)(P=0.003), peptic ulcer disease (0.0; -1.5/4.5) (P<0.001), irritable bowel syndrome (3.0;0.5/8.5)(P=0.001), and patients classified with "other disease" (2.5;0.0/5.0)(P<0.001). Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease had significantly lower symptom scores if FD was not concomitantly diagnosed (2.0; 0.0/6.0) than if FD was present (10.0; 4.0/15.0).
CONCLUSIONS: Hypersensitivity for capsaicin discriminates functional dyspepsia from patients with other GI disorders. The capsaicin test is a simple and non invasive method to detect a large subgroup of functional dyspepsia with chemical hypersensitivity. These findings might open new diagnostic options in functional dyspepsia and possibly new therapeutic options by targeting the specific capsaicin receptor TRPV1.
