How long does it take to treat digestive disorders

There is no fixed conditioning cycle. The patients I have dealt with can return to a normal diet and lifestyle as quickly as 1-2 weeks, but it can take months or even years, and many of them have recurring attacks. The core depends on whether the inducement of the disease can be completely eliminated and whether the individual's compliance with the conditioning plan is high.

Don’t think this is ambiguous. I met a 22-year-old graduate student in the clinic before. He ate takeaways heavy in oil and salt every day for three months. It was common to stay up until two or three o’clock. Later, he suffered from acid reflux and flatulence. He had to go to the stool three or four times a day. After a gastrointestinal endoscopy, everything was normal. He was diagnosed with a digestive disorder. After the exam, this young man immediately adjusted his schedule back to bed at 11 o'clock. He took half an hour every day to run two laps on the playground. He followed the doctor's advice and took probiotics and digestive enzymes for 10 days. It took 2 weeks, and when he came back for a review, he said that nothing was wrong. To put it bluntly, his problem was caused by short-term high-intensity stress and irregular diet. If the triggers were cut off directly, the repair power of the intestines and stomach would be strong enough, and he would naturally recover quickly.

But if the triggers are not so easy to remove, recovery will not be so smooth. I just followed up a 40-year-old salesperson last month. He used to socialize and drink liquor every day. He was positive for Helicobacter pylori. He was so anxious about his performance that he couldn't sleep until the early hours of the morning. He had been suffering from dysfunction for almost two years. He had been recuperating for more than half a year and would always return to his original form whenever there was a drinking party. Later, he made up his mind to change his job without having to go to the field. He first eradicated the Helicobacter pylori and followed the doctor's plan to adjust his diet and mood for three months before finally stabilizing.

There are many different opinions on this issue on the Internet. Some say that it can be cured by eating a light diet for 2 weeks, while others say that it is a "lifelong chronic disease" that cannot be cured. In fact, both views are reasonable, and it all depends on the person. If it is just a short-term disorder caused by occasional eating and drinking or staying up all night, don't take this discomfort too seriously. Eat light for a few days and think less about gastrointestinal matters. It may be better in a week or so; but if you have basic problems such as Helicobacter pylori infection and bile reflux, In addition, you are usually prone to anxiety, sulking, and your nerves are always tense, so the "emotional switch" of your gastrointestinal tract is always pressed. Adjusting it is like papering a leaky window. The wind is still blowing while you paper it, and it will naturally take longer. Three to five months or even one or two years is common.

It is interesting to say that the intestines and stomach are actually the most "sensitive" small organs in the human body. If you occasionally let it work overtime to feed it, it will be cured in two days. If you feed it wine and stuff it with spicy food every day, and always convey anxiety to it, it will have a tantrum for a long time, and it will not take more than three or two days to coax it back. I once had a menopausal aunt who had been suffering from recurring diarrhea and bloating for more than a year. Later, she went to dance in the square every day with the dance team in the community. When she had nothing to do, she went on trips with her old sisters. She didn’t take much medicine, but all her symptoms disappeared. This is the truth.

Finally, I would like to mention one more thing. Don’t label yourself as a digestive disorder whenever you have gastrointestinal discomfort. First do a gastroenteroscopy and Helicobacter pylori test to rule out organic diseases such as ulcers, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease. Once the diagnosis is truly confirmed, you can discuss treatment. Otherwise, you may accidentally delay the underlying disease and the gain will outweigh the gain.
