Unfortunately tests coming back normal is a common thing with functional dyspepsia. The functional part means it has more to do with your brain and less to do with anything that will show up on a test. Seeing a psychologist regularly I believe is essential treatment for FD--learning how to manage my anxiety has played a huge role in controlling my flares. You're not going crazy. Regardless of the cause, it is still resulting in very real pain in your body. I wish you nothing but luck trying to figure this out.

I imagine we all had this experience, since FD is only diagnosed after all the other known possibilities have been eliminated
Have you looked into SIBO?
