Celia There is no absolutely uniform standard answer to the treatment cycle for digestive disorders. Most young people who have just started to suffer from mild symptoms can basically return to normal in 2 to 4 weeks. If the disease lasts for more than half a year, is accompanied by anxiety and depression, or has chronic gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome, it often requires more than 3 months of long-term treatment. For some cases that are not cured, they may even need 1 to 2 years of treatment to stabilize and not relapse.
I just met a girl who was in her junior year of college a while ago. She stayed up for seven days during the final week to finish her thesis. She relied on iced milk tea and heavy food takeout to survive. Suddenly, she started to feel bloated after just two mouthfuls. She had diarrhea three or four times a day. She went for a gastrointestinal endoscopy and no organic problems were found. This is a typical stress-induced digestive disorder. I adjusted her diet and prescribed some probiotics. The little girl was obedient and stopped eating all the spicy food. She took 20 minutes a day to run around the playground twice. She was completely healed in less than 3 weeks. Even the pain that caused her to break into cold sweats every time she came to visit her was relieved a lot.
Don’t think that everyone can recover so quickly. I have a 42-year-old salesman who has suffered from digestive disorders on and off for almost three years. It is common to drink and socialize with clients. He is always so anxious that he can’t sleep all night because of performance pressure. He gets sick after eating something cold or spicy. Sometimes he has constipation for three or four days, and sometimes he runs to the toilet five or six times a day. He was anxious himself. Every time he came for a follow-up visit, he would always ask when the roots could be removed. It was really not possible to be anxious about this situation. He had to adjust his work, rest and mood first. It took him almost 8 months to get rid of the recurrence. In the meantime, he had to stay up late several times to meet quarterly targets and had two recurrences.
Nowadays, many people's understanding of this disease is quite polarized. Some people think that the gastrointestinal function is delicate and just take some digestion-promoting medicine. There are also many gastroenterologists who believe that the essence of digestive dysfunction is brain-gut axis disorder. 70% of the problem lies in emotions and work and rest. Taking medicine alone cannot eliminate the root cause. From the many patients I have come into contact with, I can see that those who cannot change their habits of staying up late, being anxious, and eating haphazardly are basically better when they are adjusted, but they fall into the trap as soon as they stop taking the medicine and resume their previous life rhythm, and they drag it on for five or six years.
In fact, it’s easy to understand if you think of your stomach and intestines as your own little pet. You feed it well, have a regular schedule and don’t torment it. If it gets a little tempered, you can coax it to get over it in two or three weeks. If you abuse it every day, force it into it at all times, and pass on your anxiety and irritability to it every day, it will be common for it to have trouble with you for three to five years.
To put it bluntly, how long it takes to heal depends partly on how hard you have been before, and partly on whether you can really implement the treatment. Don't believe in any folk remedies that can cure the disease in a week. If it can be cured quickly, it is because the injury was not too severe. If it really becomes chronic, you have to be prepared to fight a protracted battle. Taking your time will make the disease heal faster.
