    Judging from the actual situation of hundreds of conditioners I have contacted, there is no standard answer for the conditioning cycle of digestive disorders. Mild symptoms can be basically relieved in 2-4 weeks with proper adjustment. For those with basic gastrointestinal diseases, or long-term anxiety and high pressure, it may take 3 months to half a year or even longer to stabilize without recurrence.

    I once met a young girl who had just started working. She was busy with projects and ate takeout with heavy oil for more than half a month. She stayed up until two or three o'clock every day. Suddenly she started to suffer from flatulence and acid reflux when she ate cold food, and her bowel movements were not formed. She went for a gastrointestinal endoscopy and there were no organic problems. It was just a disorder of her daily routine and diet. In order to induce functional disorders, I went home and followed the doctor's instructions to eat three meals on time, replace the daily ice milk tea with warm honey water, take 15 minutes to go downstairs for a walk after meals, and only took some probiotics. Within 3 weeks, I basically felt no discomfort, and I have not had any problems after more than half a year of follow-up.

    Of course not everyone gets better so quickly. Last year, I took care of a man who was in sales. He had been socializing and drinking all the time, and he had superficial gastritis. He also suffered from insomnia all the time due to performance pressure. When he came here, he had been suffering from bloating, constipation and diarrhea for almost 2 years. Before, I bought and took stomach medicine randomly, and the good and bad times could not be eliminated at all. This kind of conditioning was tedious. First, we had to help him adjust the frequency of social drinking, and at the same time, we also suggested that he cooperate with mindfulness adjustment to relieve stress. In the first month or so, there were only occasional improvements. It was not until almost 3 months ago that bowel movements gradually became regular, and the frequency of abdominal distension dropped from four or five times a week to once or twice a month at most. Later, it consolidated for less than half a year before the intervention program was completely stopped.

    Nowadays, many people on the Internet say that digestive disorders are not a serious illness and can be cured on their own within a few days. This is actually true or false. If it is just a temporary disorder caused by overeating or catching a cold wind, it can indeed be recovered within 1-2 days of adjustment. However, if abdominal distension, acid regurgitation, and abnormal bowel movements have been recurring for weeks or even months, and clear organic problems such as ulcers and polyps have not been found during examinations, and the lifestyle habits are not adjusted, it can easily become a chronic functional disorder, and the difficulty of adjustment will be doubled.

    In fact, the digestive function itself is like a small machine that affects the whole body. It is not only related to what you eat, but also sleep, mood and even recent work pressure. I usually never talk to people who consult me ​​about how long it will take to heal. After all, the core of conditioning is actually in your own hands. Those who can follow the doctor's instructions, control their mouths, and know how to relax themselves generally get better faster than expected. If they fish for three days and dry the net for two days, eat light food for two days, they can't help but eat skewers and drink cold beer. There are many people who have been doing it for several years.
