A digestive disorder characterized by difficulty digesting starch or starch-containing foods.
From amylo- (starch) plus dyspepsia (from Greek dys- meaning 'bad' and pepsis meaning 'digestion'). This is a medical term combining starch-specific problems with general indigestion.
Amylodyspepsia is a beautifully specific medical term that tells you exactly what's wrong—your starch digestion is troubled. Historically, people with amylodyspepsia might have been advised to eat white bread instead of whole grain, not realizing they need better enzyme function!
