How long does it take to treat digestive disorders

There is no unified standard answer for the treatment of digestive disorders. Mild symptoms caused by short-term triggers may be completely relieved in 1 to 2 weeks, while patients with long disease duration and complex triggers may require months or even years of long-term conditioning to stabilize.

I met a junior boy who just finished his final exam a while ago. He stayed up for 7 days and nights to work on his paper, eating iced Coke and instant noodles every day. On the day after he finished the exam, he started to have abdominal distension and nausea, and his stools were also unformed. He went for a gastrointestinal endoscopy and did not find any inflammation. This is a typical functional disorder caused by a disordered diet in the short term. When I got back, I asked him to stop eating ice cream, eat a seven-cent full meal at every meal, rub his belly for ten minutes before going to bed, and drink warm millet porridge for a week. He came back for a follow-up visit the second week, and all the discomfort was gone.

But I also have an old patient who has been followed up for almost two years. He works in an administrative position. He usually has to coordinate large and small affairs. He is anxious until two or three in the morning before falling asleep. He eats a little oil or eats too late, and he immediately suffers from diarrhea. This problem lasted for 6 years before it was gradually stabilized. In the meantime, she also took a lot of probiotics and medicines to regulate gastrointestinal motility, which were effective when taken, but relapsed immediately when she got busy with quarterly assessments. Later, she couldn't bear it anymore and changed to a more leisurely job. She regularly practiced yoga on weekends to relax. It took almost 10 months. Now, even if she occasionally goes out to eat hot pot with friends, she won't run to the toilet every now and then.

Nowadays, there are two extreme opinions on the Internet about the treatment cycle of this disease. Some people say that "digestive disorders can be cured in 7 days", while others say that this is an "immortal cancer" that will never be cured in a lifetime. In fact, both are too extreme. It is said that it can be cured in 7 days. Most of them happen to have mild symptoms caused by short-term inducements. The gastrointestinal foundation is not damaged. As long as the inducements such as staying up late and eating excessively are removed, the recovery will be faster. If you have long-term emotional problems and have been smoking and drinking for 20 or 30 years, let alone 7 days, the effect will be considered stable if it can be stable for 7 months. It is too absolute to say that it will never get better in a lifetime. I had a friend who had irritable bowel for 3 years. He would suffer from diarrhea when he was nervous. Later, he quit his job at Internet 996 and returned to his hometown to open a small bookstore. He had a regular schedule every day and went hiking when he was free. Now he occasionally drinks iced milk tea and has no reaction.

In fact, to put it bluntly, digestive disorders are not organic problems like polyps or ulcers that can be cured by cutting or taking medicine for a period of time. It means that the rhythm of the gastrointestinal function is disordered, just like the wall clock in your home is skewed. If you just accidentally touch the pointer, just turn it back. If the gears inside are worn out, then you must slowly adjust it. If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days during the treatment, and you stay up late to catch up on the game and drink cold beer while taking the medicine for the treatment, let alone get better quickly, it is not bad if it does not get worse over and over again.
