Q This bloating has lasted years. Can I really eat comfortably like before? How long does treatment usually take?
A Even long-standing cases can become much more comfortable once stomach function recovers. Treatment usually continues steadily for 1-3 months, aiming for a noticeable reduction in the frequency and intensity of bloating.
Detailed Answer
Functional dyspepsia tends to follow a chronic course that repeatedly improves and worsens depending on condition and stress. So it does not disappear overnight, but it gradually eases once stomach motility and digestion revive. Typically the frequency starts to decrease after about a month, and with two to three months of steady care you can expect to eat comfortably in daily life.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The longer the symptoms have lasted, the more important it is to also raise the weakened baseline strength of the stomach. Rather than stopping at symptom relief, we regard recovery as building a stomach that is less shaken by stress or overeating.
