Brief Summary: Proton pump inhibitors PPI have been shown to cause acid reflux related symptoms at withdrawal in healthy volunteers a phenomenon known as Rebound Acid Hyper Secretion Whether this also applies for patients with dyspeptic symptoms but without true reflux disease functional dyspepsia treated with PPI is unknown If this is the case it could lead to an unfortunate long term use of PPI since the acid rebound renders withdrawal too difficult

This is a single centre randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled cross over study Study period is 12 weeks per study subject Study subjects are referred to the study from General Practitioner GP and the gastroenterology department or endoscopy clinic of the investigational centre

The study population consists of patients who seek their GP because of dyspepsia without alert signs and whom the GP may consider starting on PPI Out patients referred to the gastroenterology department or endoscopy clinic of the investigational centre because of dyspepsia without specific exclusion criteria are also invited to participate

Baseline interview upper endoscopy and pH monitoring are performed one week before inclusion to exclude patients with GERD Helicobacter Pylori Hp status is assessed by Helicobacter Urease Test HUT Hp positive subjects without ulcus are not excluded

Patients with a positive pH monitoring will not be included in the analysis regarding the primary endpoint Development of GERD but will be included in the analysis regarding one of the secondary endpoints Effect of PPI on Functional Dyspepsia

Study subjects are randomized to either pantoprazol followed by cross over to placebo or to placebo Escape medication in the form of Gaviscon can be used on demand

Internet based questionnaires are answered weekly Questionnaires consist of the Gastrointestinal Symptom rating Scale GSRS in combination with items assessing postprandial fullness and items assessing the Montreal Criteria for Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease GERD

Compliance to protocol is assessed at hospital visits every fourth week At the end of study endoscopy and pH monitoring are repeated
