You will detox and feel like crap for a little bit. After about 2 weeks, you will notice some symptoms will just disappear, and you'll be like, "so THIS is what it feels like to feel 'well!'" It actually can take a couple of years to heal completely, depending on how long you went untreated. I had symptoms for over 12 years before figuring it out, and 3 years later I think I can say I'm fully recovered. But you should start feeling noticeably better really soon.
