Q For over 5 years I've suffered daily bloating and gas. Can even such a chronic case really get better? How long does it usually take?
A Even long-standing cases can become comfortable enough once bowel function recovers. Usually with 1–3 months of consistent treatment, the goal is a noticeable reduction in the frequency and intensity of bloating.
Detailed Answer
Even bloating that has become chronic gradually eases as the bowel's movement and digestive power revive. It does not change overnight, but usually rumbling begins to decrease around one month, and with two to three months of consistent management, you can expect the time you feel comfortable in daily life to increase.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
The longer the symptoms have lasted, the more important it is to also raise the weakened baseline stamina of the bowels. Rather than stopping at symptom relief, we set as the standard of recovery a bowel that is less shaken by food and stress.
