Well, wouldn't you have to make a FD discard pile so you could reshuffle the discards once the deck has been exhausted?

No, the Fairy Dust cards are not discarded when used, they are removed from play. So, once the Fairy Dust deck has run out of cards, even if you do something that would grant a Fairy Dust card you just get nothing, your out of luck.

There's no reason NOT to keep a discard pile, though, and at least one promo item allows you to recover a card from the FD discards, so...

True, but the main thing I was trying to answer was his question of "reshuffling the fairy dust cards once the deck is exhausted," Which you don't do because the cards are not discarded like door or treasure cards, but instead removed from play.
