Q I've had these symptoms for three years now. Can I really eat comfortably like before? How long does treatment usually take?
A Even long-standing cases can become comfortable once gastric function recovers. Usually, consistent treatment over 1-3 months aims to noticeably reduce the frequency and intensity.
Detailed Answer
Even symptoms that have hardened into chronic problems gradually ease once stomach motility and digestive power revive. However, it doesn't change overnight; usually the frequency starts to decrease in about a month, and with two to three months of consistent management, you can expect a state where you 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 stamina of the stomach. We regard recovery not as mere symptom relief, but as building a stomach that does not recur.
