How long does it take to recover from digestive disorders?

There is no fixed standard answer for the recovery of digestive disorders. People with mild symptoms and no underlying organic diseases can basically be relieved in 1 to 2 weeks if the adjustment is in place. If the disease lasts for several years, is accompanied by anxiety and depression, or has basic problems such as chronic gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome, the conditioning period may be extended to 3 to 6 months, or even longer.

I have been doing health management in the gastroenterology department for so many years, and the fastest I have ever seen was a young man who just went to college. He ate and drank cold beer for a week during the vacation. After acute gastroenteritis, he became a disorder, with alternating stomach bloating and acid reflux. He had no problems after a gastrointestinal endoscopy, and he did not take any expensive medicine. He just ate three meals on time, not spicy or cold, and took some probiotics. After 8 days, he came to ask if he could have clear soup hot pot.

I usually come across a lot of related posts, and the opinions of the two sides are very different. Some people say that this is a minor problem, and just taking gastric motility pills for two days will be enough, and it does not require a few months of treatment. Some people say that the root cause of the disease cannot be cured, and will have to be tied to a light diet for the rest of my life. Having come across so many cases, I can only say that these two opinions are too extreme. Aunt Zhang, who came here last month, has been suffering from digestive disorders for almost 2 years. She would suffer from diarrhea after eating even a little oil. She used to take antidiarrheal medicines blindly, and heard others say that she could only drink plain porridge to maintain her health. As a result, her nutrition could not keep up, and her gastrointestinal motility became worse and worse. Later, we adjusted her diet. , instead of drinking plain porridge every day, she added steamed lean meat and soft boiled green leafy vegetables, and let her dance Baduanjin for 20 minutes every day. Together with the medication to adjust the intestinal flora, it took 4 months to gradually normalize. Now she can eat sweet and sour pork ribs occasionally.

Why are recovery rates so different between people? To put it bluntly, the stomach is like a little pet you raise. You occasionally starve it and feed it something heavy, and it will get better after two days of coaxing it. If you abuse it all year round, either starving it and feeding it full meals, or feeding it high-fat and spicy junk food every day, and keeping it up late at night and sulking every day, then it will definitely have a temper for a long time, and it cannot be cured by just coaxing it for two days. The most common mistake that many people make during medical treatment is to focus on "when will I get better" every day. The more anxious the gastrointestinal sensitivity is, the slower the recovery will be. There used to be a little girl who worked on the Internet. She checked in every day and asked me if I still had some bloating today and asked if it would be better. It was supposed to be healed in two weeks, but it was delayed for more than a month because of too much anxiety.

In fact, you really don’t need to worry about the specific recovery time. Follow the plan that suits you. Don’t just try to create a gastrointestinal tract when there is nothing wrong. Keep up with the adjustment of work, rest and diet. Most of them can recover slowly, so there is no need to panic.
