Thank you for this video. I've had gastro issues since having a mild case of Covid in June, 2022... so, going on 22 months now. Please keep posting information as it becomes available. None of my doctors have been able to help me yet and I have to avoid a large number of foods (including US wheat - I'm fine if I'm in Europe), alcohol, medications, preservatives, etc. We need to aggregate this data so we can help each other.
After 4.5 months of severe bloating/abdominal distention with stomach pain, heavy benching, I was diagnosed with gastroparesis this week after a gastric emptying scan. GI surgeon says since my symptoms started with the onset of my getting covid that the shock to my system from omnicron is likely the cause. On meds now for what we think may be a few months to get my 'slow gut' back to normal functioning speed. Good luck everyone... (UPDATE at 2 weeks) They have me on Metoclopramide 5mg/4x day and I'm still taking 20mg of Esomeprazole 2x/day and I'm definitely improved at what I'd say is 75% overall improvement. What I eat has a direct effect on how I feel, even with the meds, however, I'm able to eat more complex meals now whereas that was impossible over the last 5 months. Hopefully after a few months of this regimen I'll be a normal digesting human again. Good luck to everyone.
I have the same problem since April i am experiencing Heartburn after to have eaten or just after going to toilet.. I have also constipation feom time to time with bloating. Is that possible that the virus remains in the Gut?
@@fable4441 Its the severe inflammation it leaves in the Gut for some. I been having problems since January. But I have to stay motivated to get my gut back in check.
@@JayTsay Yeah its so terrible seems i have constant burnings in the whole belly especially the left part and a lot of gas and acid cumulate.. I have started to get probiotics and IPP to fix the problem
Thanks Chris. I've had a similar situation. I was put on DOCUSATE 100MG. I've also started taking triphala and senna. Things has started to move although they are sometimes watery. I'll take what I can get.
Suffered from IBS 2 months after covid. During covid I had a lot of inflammation in my intestines. This decreased but still had diarrhea in the morning along with inflammation. The FLCCC website protocol recommended ivermectin among other things. I started taking the ivermectin and the inflammation disappeared and everything is normal again!
This post covid IBS is no joke. It is so debilitating and painful. Honestly I cannot leave the house. The noxious gas I produce is so embarrassing and frequent.
My covid journey started back in January. I was really bad sick for about 6 weeks. As I got better I started having severe chest pains and stomach issues. Lots of gurgling lots of diarrhea lots of general feelings of doom and gloom. Chest CT x 3 no heart issues. ECG 3 times no heart issues. 2 ER visits. No heart problems. Multiple blood draws. Not my heart...Finally my cardiologist told me I have pericarditis...Could not tolerate the colchosine....Seeing a gastroenterologist now and my gerd had gotten much worse. Man I just want to get well...
Yes I had a follow egd and my ulcers have healed up and my duodenal in ulcers are much better just mild gastritis now. I was medication for 90 days the more now my gut issues are much better... Just dealing with my BP now. It's up down up down
@@jamesblevins7115 I didnt suffer anythong related with heart conditions but my gerd and gut problems are really bad.. I only tolerate meat and im tired all the time. Could you tell me which medication so I can consult my doctor?
As a gut health coach, I am starting to see people in my practice for whom covid infection was the initial trigger of now ongoing digestive symptoms. Thank you for this video, it was very informative, and confirms my thinking on the matter, in terms of possible mechanisms driving these persistent symptoms.
Hi. I have a question. Now I got good the first, second, and 3rd vaccine( moderna) and after about 1- 2 weeks I began having diarrhea. It started in January 2022 and only now in July is it settling down. Now I have MS and my doctor thinks it's that doing it. However, could the vaccine actually do this? I mean if diarrhea is a symtoms of covid, isn't it possible that I had this diarrhea triggered by the vaccine( 3rd dose)? I'm very scared now to have any more covid vaccines as I never want to go through this again! I even had to have a gastoscope and colonoscopy!!!!! If it's even remotely possible that the vaccine did this then I will not be getting anymore covid vaccines! I know that you don't know me, but could you PM me your thoughts? Have you ever seen this in purple with the vaccines?
I sent you a question almost a month ago. As a "gut heath coach". It would very helpful to hear what recommendations you have to remedy some of the issues concerning the gut??
I recently had Covid , after checking negative, I stayed getting sharp stomach pains, and throwing up everything I ate, and severe diarrhea. This also happened in 2020 when I had Covid. I’m miserable right now, scared to eat, for fear of having one of these throwing up episodes in public. My stomach is also making loud sounds.🙁
My GI issues remain after 2 1/2 months, as well as jaw inflammation and heart and platelet issues. This no joke. I cannot eat anything without running to the bathroom and the nausea is nuts!
Couldn’t relate more, though mine started from a stomach bug or food poisoning. Been going on for 3-4 months now. I’ve had better moments, but I’m nowhere near myself. I get flushed & nausea continuously. I think it comes in waves & I’m hoping they’re becoming less frequent. It’s hard to tell as I now have covid as well. We’ll see where my stomach is at once this virus now also runs it’s course 🤦♂️
@@sevinlove438 so so. Earlier this week was hell, right after 7 days with minimal issues. Trying to determine if it was something I ate, or if it just comes in waves. This has been going on for months so we’ll see what happens. The hardest part at this point is what it’s done to me physiologically. I feel pretty broken in general. Nothing like myself yet. I had a window that felt pretty normal during that hood 7 day period.
@@sevinlove438 I may be getting better slowly but surely just fyi. Haven’t had much nausea in the past couple weeks, and my appetite has been so much better. Hope you’re doing ok as well!
Had covid recovered to now suffer with constipation... treating it by changing diet , increasing water but still it's uncomfortable . I also use acupressure and stomach massage. Hopefully it clears up for good .
I’m experiencing the same problem with chronic constipation 7 months after my infection. I’m so done with this. I’m vegan. Have been for 25 yrs. I’m eating prunes and prune juice with laxatives with very little results.
I’ve had chronic constipation along with abdominal bloating and pressure x6 months. I also had Omicron around the same time these symptoms started but never made a connection between the 2 before now.
@@lauralong6695 I blamed my constipation and GI symptoms on going off my vegan diet but nothing has changed since getting back on track. The usual fruit and increased water intake haven’t helped.
I got Covid-19 back in October 2021 I lost my taste and smell and in April 2022 I had a antibodies test and it came back I have very high antibodies. When I had Covid-19 I had to have oxygen at home I was sick for a month I did not get diarrhea I got constipated and looked like I was pregnant with twins. I had to go to the hospital and everything they gave me did not help my stools pass so they sent me home with a jug of stuff to drinkand that got stuff moving. One month after I was no longer sick I started having heartburn every day I could not drink water cause it made the heartburn worse I had to stop taking my bladder medication cause it made the heartburn worse The only thing I could drink was pedialyte when I ate food I can feel food going down and it is painful and causes heartburn sometimes stuff comes back up and that's painful and causes heartburn most the times when I eat my stomach will get bloated and I start to burp and pass gas and sometimes it feels like my intestines get hot and they will hurt along with having pain in my stomach and sometimes my stomach will feel cold inside and hot. I have had lots of test done and a Biopsy and all the test showed was that I now have Dumping Syndrome the Doctor's say my stomach empties really fast now. I get the diarrhea sometimes after I eat but not every time. I pass stools three times a day. The Doctor's say that Dumping Syndrome would not cause all my problems I never had stomach problems until I got Covid and all the medications the Doctor's gave me only made things worse The only way I can get the heartburn to go away is to sip on baking soda water through out the day I still have all of this going on with my stomach and see the Doctor's and feel like I have no hope for help I have done so much research and only found stuff on people in the ICU that had diarrhea or people that had diarrhea with Covid-19. I never got diarrhea with Covid-19 it made me constipated I know I am not the only person in the world that got constipated but yet there are not studies. Before I got Covid I would sometimes get heartburn depending on what I ate. The NIH sent me your video and I'm really not sure what your video is going to do to help me cause it seems like your video is also about people that had diarrhea and I'm wondering if you read these comments I wonder if I'm going to get any help from anyone I have been living miserable life ever day and as time goes on my stomach just seems to get worse and my Doctor's can't seem to help me and three months after I had Covid-19 my hair started to fall out I get headaches a lot and sometimes pain in my brain I lost interest in things I like doing before Covid-19. When I had Covid-19 the hospital wanted to admit me cause of my oxygen but I was afraid and told them no I was on steroids for a month at home with the oxygen.
I had COVID in August 2022, I am having gi issues still now . Abdomen pain , gastritis , long term diarrhoea . etc . I couldn't eat anything complex . I am feeling sad all the day and somedays I think that I am having some serious illness .
Many people have long haul COVID with GI and brain issues. You are spot on. The GI symptoms can sometimes be cured with probiotics and prebiotics but the brain symptoms do not completely resolve right away. The fluvoxamine treatment may help with the serotonin issue. I suspect that there may also be a vitamin b depletion issue and selenium status seems to also play a role.
Wow, thank you. Ive just been diagnosed with this by my GI. Ive been battling since april. GI is putting my on a "mush diet" for a couple weeks and will be tapering me off the medication gradually. GI had it too. GI says there is hope for recovery! So forward we go!
@skyerobinson4148 I lost my GI. The main office closed his doors. I ended up seeing a functional medicine doctor in Colorado. I am doing very good. We worked on my microbiome. I am eating again. I am off all medications. No heart burn, my stools are regular again. I can eat salads, nuts, butter, and many things. I do stay away from wheat, process food, and sugar. They seem to cause inflammation. So I am on the mend. Good luck to all dealing with gastroparesis. It's nasty stuff.
I’m 6 months into long hauling. Biggest issue is that it manifested as erosive gastritis (never had this before) and is not fixable. Doctors say “time”. Gastritis has caused a severe vitamin b12 deficiency and vitamin D deficiency.
@@Michauu Ive always had some small palpitations, but when I had covid I never had a cough, I had really bad soar throat 2 months later all the sudden constant reflux. Its so bad, now I have heart palpitations constantly. I hate covid so much.
Currently facing IBS symptoms. First week after testing positive for COVID I had fever non stop. Second week things cleared up. No more fever, but still had the runny nose and coughing. 3rd week felt good again, but headaches, brain fog, nausea, and fatigue lingered a bit. Then noticed that I started getting constipated. After COVID symptoms pretty much cleared up(except brain fog and fatigue) still had constipation and other issues. Was givin antibiotics for another condition I was diagnosed with. After finishing my antibiotics(took for a week) I felt like I was back to normal. No constipation. Had all my energy back. I felt stronger than ever. For only about 2 days I felt normal. Then suddenly constipation came back along with diarrhea even. Fatigue and brain fog came back. Might’ve been the antibiotics that tampered with my gut health. All I know is Ive been having sharp pains in my left side. Feel bloated and gassy. (Especially left side) Even sharp pain in my pelvic muscles sometimes.(left side). Anxiety has been through the roof I already get bad anxiety as it is. Majority of the day I feel my heart pounding away even tho I feel calm. (One symptom after COVID that never cleared up either) Feel like I have no concentration most of the time. Still feel fatigued even after a good nights rest sometimes. That’s if I can stay asleep the whole night. I’m just not sure if it’s because of COVID or the antibiotics that may have tampered with my gut health. Hell maybe both. It’s been a rough 2 months. Started eating more veggies and fruits. Increasing my vitamin intake, too. I still have an appetite, but I’m staying away from fast food and anything heavy. So far it’s only been about a week I starting facing IBS. Only time will tell if I feel better.
I had Covid for the first time in September of ‘22. I developed post-viral gastroparesis that lasted four or five months. Lots of nausea and vomiting. I caught Covid again at the end of July and had a lot of gastro symptoms and now the gastroparesis is back. I threw up around lunchtime, but I haven’t eaten today so I was throwing up dinner from last night, 14 hours later.
I don't know if it's related or not but I got my 3rd covid shot in January 2022. About a week or 2 later I began having diarrhea. I didn't think too much of it at the time as I have had gastrointestinal issues due to lactose intolerance and some other food sensitivities. However after a completely changing my diet I began to have that diarrhea for a very long time. It is now July 22 and it's finally stopping. I even had to have a gastroscope and a colonoscopy just to rule out anything serious. And now I am terrified to get a 4th dose. I can not imagine going through that again if that is in fact what caused it for me. It was conveniently only a week or 2 after my 3rd dose. One of my friends who is an antivaxer told me that that's probably what it was. Now I am not an anti vaxer I believe in vaccines and I know that they do a lot of good but could this have been an issue for me? I know that sometimes there are people who have symptoms that are sort of on the rare side so I'm really concerned about getting that 4th vaccine in the fall.
Hi dia how are you doing am having the same problem after taking PFIZER covid vaccine it's now 5 months but my stomach still bloating, am having, muscle twitching, body is itching like crazy, am having blood clots in mouth and tongue, my tongue is white now and I have white patches in mouth am having burning lips and vesicles, extreme fatigue, pins and needles, i wake up every morning when all my fingers are paining please friends what can I do because I was supper healthy before vaccine but now I don't know what to do
I got covid in April 2020. Then when vaccines were ready at the end of that year, I refused to take it. Got covid again in October 2022. Two months later my GI issues started. Digestion is ok but pain is bad. It started down my left rib cage, then spread everywhere else, upper, lower, chest and back. Omeprazole has been calming symptoms
I got covid back early September had a mild case one day of fever no cough I was ok after a week started having stomach problems gagging nausea pressure on the chest bloated it’s been three months seen doctores even a GI specialist took probiotics vitamins and I’m still having these issues
Was the chest pressure on the upper right side for you as well? I had that for a few months and it finally went away but I'm still getting diarrhea/loose stool. I also had extreme bloating for a few days.
@@Ssoso000 7 months of loose stool and fatigue. November was almost normal and then it went downhill again quickly. My GI doctor gave up on me and said there weren't any more tests to run. Going to a new GI soon.
@@Ssoso000 Endoscopy, colonoscopy, and gastric emptying test. Gastric emptying was slightly delayed. Acid reflux for about 13 months too despite being skinny, eating well, and working out.
I had a really bad inflammation from gastritis coming into getting COVID last week. I'm now testing negative but it seems this has left my digestive system in terrible shape! Very low energy and soft stools. Just can't seem to get out of bed for very long before getting dizzy. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!
That's my problem now. I'm getting bloated easily, I will drink water first thing in the morning and be bloated. I haven't contacted my Dr yet. Extreme fatigue ever since I had COVID 7 weeks ago. I'm boosted and my symptoms weren't that bad. I just treated with cold med. The stomach issue is my problem now.
@@marawood3801 how are you doing? My brother has same symptoms, hasn’t been to work since august 8th, has. Tried to come in 3-4 times and has to leave 30-45 minutes later
@@MotoFlows sorry to hear that about your brother. I finally went to see my Dr and she didn't seem to care. She just told me that the symptoms will go away and that maybe I was eating too healthy. I'm sorry to say that I don't really eat healthy or junk food either. We hardly eat out or eat fast food. I have lost few pounds in the last week and she just said oh, that's great. No, it's not I don't wanna loose weight. I'm under 129 lbs and 5'3. She didn't do any blood test. I think most Drs don't know what's going on with these post COVID symptoms. Some days I'm good no problems but some, not. I eat small portion meals now or just take protein shake. I hope your brother gets some relief soon. I hope I don't get COVID again 🙁😫
@@marawood3801 how are you doing. I don't understand why Dr's are like this.. mine said oh sorry can't help. I told her yes get me more testing n sent me to the GI. You need to advocate for your health because insurance companies don't care.
I’ve been having Gi issues for 1.5 years immediately after Covid. Just recently ended up in hospital with severe GI issues. CT scan and US revealed nothing. Getting blood panel and stool sample now. Most likely will reveal nothing. I’m leaning more towards slow gut problems. Been home for 2 weeks can’t even go to work. I’ve switched to 100% clean eating and that’s not helping either. Gonna try low fodmap
I caught covid 2nd time, post symptom i had sudden food allergy to sth i never had. Then one day i had a very bad indigestion from taking a watermelon juice. Had diarrhea for 2 days, bad stomach cramp and gas for almost a week, cldnt eat properly so i went for liquid diet. Its been like almost 2 months now and i started to take some supplements called zencoso and probiotics from time to time to make me feel better but Im still getting cramps and constipation, planning for colonoscopy soon.
I developed a wicked summer cold. It started as a pain just below my rib cage. It went to my lungs. Congested my lungs and then created wicked constipation. I thought I had a a Vagus nerve problem as the pain was right in that area.
Ty. Oh, I am very scared. I had Covid last September. And then like a month after I was having trouble breathing, so it turned out I had post Covid bronchial asthma, and the only time I ever had heartburn was when I was pregnant. But since about last October. I get horrible heartburn and Gerd almost every day. I take a Tums and it goes away. I am praying so much that the as well and now learning that garage or esophagus trouble can become cancer. I am definitely going to go to a G.I.. I hope it’s not too late. And I wish I knew what the statistics for going away since it is from Covid. I also have trouble swallowing I cannot, because by well I just explained? Any opinions?
Similar. Had a mild case of omicron, no major issues during. Later weight loss and unexpected vertigos that scared me. Months and half later GI issues, loose stool in the morning, diarrhea that got worse and worse and worse , and also strange moodiness, weird anxiety. All results are clear. Every doctor said I’m fine. Yet I’m not. I’m miserable. Had diarrhea to the point I want able to drive because of how weak I was. Iris probiotics, psyllum, no improvement. Also have a mild tenderness under the right rib, but nothing found. Year and half later it still persist. Also. A word bubbly feeling in feeling when I digest and constant gasiness. I had no issues whatsoever before and had most healthy poops. I also had a vaccine which seems to not have prevented anything,
Tried it (Florastore in the US). Didn’t help. Most likely what you’re having is fictional diarrhea. E.g. vivid messed up neurological regulation and not the microbiota itself (although possible). I had GI map testing done. Showed nothing. To me personally probiotic Bifiform helped (really makes poop rocks) . Also restore your neurological system . I was prescribed Actavegin IV large doses. Some psych medicine Quebtiapine, really made me sleepy but also significantly slowed down my bowels. And 2 months of vit B complexes. I’m not perfect but I’m better. Stomach is sensitive but not like before where it was borderline scary. So all and all it seems it’s very neurologically related and cvd damages your autonomic nervous system significantly along with other things.
It’ll be pretty much a year I would’ve thought it went away by now. I’m just hoping to hear that usually post Covid asthma and heartburn and Gerd etc. usually goes away or reschedule a lot better. I don’t know why it affects swallowing.
covid healed my stomach ulcer that I had since 2009. during the infection one of my sx was vomiting several times a day. I also lost 17 pounds and the weight has stayed off my blood pressure runs low whereas before it would range in the hypertension stage 140/90 my weight and height is 165 and 6'.1"
My friend thought it cured her ulcer but she started becoming lighter and lighter and dizzy all the time. The doctors first diagnosed her with low iron but it didn’t get better she went back again after a month so her doctor suggested they do an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Mind you her ulcer was no long reacting to spicy foods and acids so she thought it’s healed. When she went it for her gastroscope her stomach was bleeding inside hence the ulcer wasn’t sore. And if she didn’t follow it up she was gonna be faced with worse. She had to undergo surgery and was given plenty of meds. I’m glad it healed yours
I had covid back in january, the first symptom was very sharp pain in my abdomen that woke me up at night , 3 days later my whole body started to hurt then fever, sour throat etc. but never diarrhea. After covid I started to have pain in my stomach, mostly in my abdomen quite often.,I never had this problem before. It's been months already and it's getting a little worse, now I get diarrhea at least once a wk. I'm letting my doctor know asap.
May be SARS COV2 induce persistent infection? Did we know at what tissue temperature SARS COV2 better replicate? At TWIV Nr 659 at min29 Christian Drosten indicate that.
Take some Ivermectin to flush it out of your stomach. Make sure to eat fatty food before you do so. Eat fermented food such as Kimchi, or sourkraut. And if your into all that vaccine stuff, stop, once is good enough.
I live in Norfolk and really want to see this Doctor but my insurance isn't accepted. I've been having bad gi symptoms since August. Had an EGD, colonoscopy, stomach emptying test, and several stool/blood samples. Nothing. I'm 150 lbs and eat well but I've had silent reflux since last December and diarrhea nearly daily since August. It all started one day in August with 15 diarrhea stools in one day. I had to go to the ER that day because I thought I was going to die. Scary stuff. It's getting incredibly depressing and exhausting not knowing how to get better while keeping my weight from dipping down any further. Going to a GI doc in Newport News who has basically written me off isn't helping my mental. Just thought I'd vent.
Hey my story is similar to yours, last August i had gi symptoms from covid mainly diarrhea that lasted for 3 months, 3-5 times per day, i did colonoscopy and stool tests all is normal, i am a bit better now but still i am not back to normal at all, my bowel movements are very weird and can’t understand it, the doctor said it could be IBS after covid, it is very depressing not to know what you have, tried probiotics and vitamins but didn’t really make a huge difference
@@davidaziz3923 Oh yeah I've tried it all. Alternated between fluffy loose stools and fatty shiny stools. Compete lake of energy. The last week and a half though I started to a lot of cardio on my recumbent bike every day for about a half hour until I'm covered in sweat. And I do light lifting every other day. Its too soon to tell but my energy is way higher this last week and my stools are looking almost normal. If you're not moving around a lot or exercising, I think the key is to get a good workout almost every day. I'm starting to think that it's an anxiety related thing as my mood has improved greatly with exercise. Could also be a long hauler covid thing that is eradicated through intense exercise. The first few days were really tough as I had no energy but it improved quickly with the new found energy. Let me know how much you exercise, it could help!
@@gabriellerodriguez4709 yup, had several fecal tests done that showed nothing. My GI doctor prescribed me an anti depressant medication yesterday because she believes theres some connection issue between my brain and gut. I honestly don't think it'll work but in trying it. Do you find your morning stools to be worse than stools passed later in the day? (Assuming you have this issue as well)
Can't develop a treatment plan without proper testing first. GI Stool Effects would be the first test to get a good picture of what's going on in the gut, the Western Medicine Docs won't do it, but an Holistic Doc will. Find someone good to work with.
I got c in Jan, after 1w I started to get rhe runs. And then it wouldn't stop. Finally after 1m it slowed down but I can't eat without going to the bathroom. Shortly after. So I don't eat far from home typically or if I'm going out I take an anti diarrhea pill. Fasting has helped me do some normal stuff. I'm blessed to be a sahm so I have a restroom to use at home. If I worked id need to be fasting during my work time. Coffee never bothered me before but now its one of the things that gives me bad runs so I have to drink it atleast 1h before I leave the house or not at all
@@JayTsay yeah right after I got co*vid I had it real bad for like a month then it slowed down and sometimes it comes and goes but I was never like this till I got c. I looked up and said could last a few days fo years. I'm trying to balance my gut and eliminate foods to see if it helps.
@@kristinec212 I got Covid back in early January. I had chills, slight fever and my throat hurt bad. Then a few days it hit my stomach hard. Nausea and diarrhea. I didn’t want to eat. I lost 20 pounds. That was hard for me cause I wasn’t really overweight. To this day, I’ve been struggling with GI issues and anxiety from this piece of crap virus. I heard it hits many people with stomach issues. I’m wondering how long it will last with me .
@@JayTsay id look into fasting when I fast its better but it came back bc I stopped but I just watched a video on primal kitchen about how 24h fasts reset your gi. So I'm going to start doing 24h fasts to see
@@JayTsay this is for women but has a lot of good general info and their yt has a lot of good videos. Like today I've just had herbal teas and I haven't had any restroom issues I feel good but when I eat it does effect me. However if you work fasting during that time can help you so your issues are at home vs work
I felt sick for around 5 weeks after my vaccines and booster. I have since recovered from Covid-19 and I had my gastric system heavily disrupted, and it will not go away. If people are reporting symptoms with the vaccine, I would guess that the virus could possibly effect those areas based on my experience.
I've had these symptoms from Astra Zeneca, much milder with Pfizer. Now, 2 years later, I got Covid and it's all over again. My gut had not even recovered in 2-3 years. So the vaccine and Covid gave me pretty much the same horrific, long-term symptoms and my poor gut just keeps getting weaker.
The last booster i got, had a slow trip down into a 2 month ibs attack, and i had not had an attack in years, lived on yogart and bananas and light foods for the whole time, applesauce and toast, i lost 10 lbs , and worked, but was on the couch every weekend for 2 months. locked up ,iike trying to void one half a split log. There is a connection ibs is not fun under normal conditions depending on your body and how it effects you , boosters have me tangled up in poo .
After contracting covid omicron I have noticed sustained pressure on the right hand side of my ribs. (Feel it breathing in) A few weeks after recovering from Covid, i was hit with something much worse. Symptoms were: Upper abdominal pain High fever Nausea and Vomiting Brain fog and persistent headache Muscle soreness and stiffness
Me too. I heard covid can attack the gallbladder and liver. Ace2 inhibitor is what covid is attacking and disrupts the gallbladder ducts. I'm on a low fat diet and taking bile salts supplement and bacterial cleanse supplement. It seems to help with stomach discomfort.
Got covid in 😮January and 100% caused my ibs which in turn caused depression and anxiety. Now on 2 antidepressant’s and ibs meds and probably will be for life. No energy and no desire to do anything, my whole life I was an active person and now at 52 my life will never be the same
I'm sorry I feel you. I'm in kinda same boat waiting for the GI appointment but I have managed anxiety and low mood thru prayer. I have low energy and lots of body symptoms.
You need to find a qualified holistic Doctor/Specialist who can help you. I don't care how old you are. I had IBS before Covid and healed it. With proper testing, they can diagnose what's going on in the gut and help you fix it. The Western Medicine Doctors will just pump you with drugs for life, don't fall for that.
EDIT: After 6 days of using Align, my symptoms seem to have returned. Very disappointed but I needed to correct the record. END EDIT Thanks to this group of people making comments here, I went and bought Align 5x Extra Strength and within 36 hours and 2 capsules I have tangible improvement after 3 months of these Covid GI symptoms. Was thinking of waiting few days more to post this but to feel this much better this fast after 3 month of stomach issues, I just had to pass this on. Thanks to everyone who recommended Align. BTW, Culturelle didn't do much of anything for me a couple weeks ago and a week of use 2x a day. All the best people...
@@JayTsay short term yes, for about 3 days on double dose. Longer term no. Ask your doctor or for a test for "gastroparesis" as that's what's common after covid 19. Good luck.
Thank you for this video. I've had gastro issues since having a mild case of Covid in June, 2022... so, going on 22 months now. Please keep posting information as it becomes available. None of my doctors have been able to help me yet and I have to avoid a large number of foods (including US wheat - I'm fine if I'm in Europe), alcohol, medications, preservatives, etc. We need to aggregate this data so we can help each other.
After 4.5 months of severe bloating/abdominal distention with stomach pain, heavy benching, I was diagnosed with gastroparesis this week after a gastric emptying scan. GI surgeon says since my symptoms started with the onset of my getting covid that the shock to my system from omnicron is likely the cause. On meds now for what we think may be a few months to get my 'slow gut' back to normal functioning speed. Good luck everyone... (UPDATE at 2 weeks) They have me on Metoclopramide 5mg/4x day and I'm still taking 20mg of Esomeprazole 2x/day and I'm definitely improved at what I'd say is 75% overall improvement. What I eat has a direct effect on how I feel, even with the meds, however, I'm able to eat more complex meals now whereas that was impossible over the last 5 months. Hopefully after a few months of this regimen I'll be a normal digesting human again. Good luck to everyone.
I have the same problem since April i am experiencing Heartburn after to have eaten or just after going to toilet.. I have also constipation feom time to time with bloating. Is that possible that the virus remains in the Gut?

@@JayTsay Yeah its so terrible seems i have constant burnings in the whole belly especially the left part and a lot of gas and acid cumulate.. I have started to get probiotics and IPP to fix the problem
Thanks Chris. I've had a similar situation. I was put on DOCUSATE 100MG. I've also started taking triphala and senna. Things has started to move although they are sometimes watery. I'll take what I can get.
Suffered from IBS 2 months after covid. During covid I had a lot of inflammation in my intestines. This decreased but still had diarrhea in the morning along with inflammation. The FLCCC website protocol recommended ivermectin among other things. I started taking the ivermectin and the inflammation disappeared and everything is normal again!
Me too! Im on daily ivermectin and most of my post covid bladder inflammation is cleared up. 2 months!!! I was SO HEALTHY.
How much do you take?
This post covid IBS is no joke. It is so debilitating and painful. Honestly I cannot leave the house. The noxious gas I produce is so embarrassing and frequent.
Yup very depressing I'm actually kinda happy I'm not alone 💜
Are yous better, what did you guys take ?
You should have a look into Great Plains Labs tests for intestinal problems.
Have you tried probiotics? Are you feeling any different?
How many vaccines did you take?
My covid journey started back in January. I was really bad sick for about 6 weeks. As I got better I started having severe chest pains and stomach issues. Lots of gurgling lots of diarrhea lots of general feelings of doom and gloom. Chest CT x 3 no heart issues. ECG 3 times no heart issues. 2 ER visits. No heart problems. Multiple blood draws. Not my heart...Finally my cardiologist told me I have pericarditis...Could not tolerate the colchosine....Seeing a gastroenterologist now and my gerd had gotten much worse. Man I just want to get well...
Hi James. Been going through some GI issues since January as well. What the gastroenterologist say?
Same here man, do you find any solution?
Yes I had a follow egd and my ulcers have healed up and my duodenal in ulcers are much better just mild gastritis now. I was medication for 90 days the more now my gut issues are much better... Just dealing with my BP now. It's up down up down
@@jamesblevins7115 I didnt suffer anythong related with heart conditions but my gerd and gut problems are really bad.. I only tolerate meat and im tired all the time. Could you tell me which medication so I can consult my doctor?

As a gut health coach, I am starting to see people in my practice for whom covid infection was the initial trigger of now ongoing digestive symptoms. Thank you for this video, it was very informative, and confirms my thinking on the matter, in terms of possible mechanisms driving these persistent symptoms.
Any possible remedies you have used that helps GI issues caused by covid?
Hi. I have a question. Now I got good the first, second, and 3rd vaccine( moderna) and after about 1- 2 weeks I began having diarrhea. It started in January 2022 and only now in July is it settling down. Now I have MS and my doctor thinks it's that doing it. However, could the vaccine actually do this? I mean if diarrhea is a symtoms of covid, isn't it possible that I had this diarrhea triggered by the vaccine( 3rd dose)? I'm very scared now to have any more covid vaccines as I never want to go through this again! I even had to have a gastoscope and colonoscopy!!!!! If it's even remotely possible that the vaccine did this then I will not be getting anymore covid vaccines! I know that you don't know me, but could you PM me your thoughts? Have you ever seen this in purple with the vaccines?
I sent you a question almost a month ago. As a "gut heath coach". It would very helpful to hear what recommendations you have to remedy some of the issues concerning the gut??
@ConfluenceNutrition do you have a website with more information on treatment? Are you available for consultation?
Jabbed or not?
I recently had Covid , after checking negative, I stayed getting sharp stomach pains, and throwing up everything I ate, and severe diarrhea. This also happened in 2020 when I had Covid. I’m miserable right now, scared to eat, for fear of having one of these throwing up episodes in public. My stomach is also making loud sounds.🙁
How are you feeling? Are you still nauseous? I’m on day 9 of having covid but started getting nauseous on the 6th day. Hopefully it ends.

Couldn’t relate more, though mine started from a stomach bug or food poisoning. Been going on for 3-4 months now. I’ve had better moments, but I’m nowhere near myself. I get flushed & nausea continuously. I think it comes in waves & I’m hoping they’re becoming less frequent. It’s hard to tell as I now have covid as well.

Had covid recovered to now suffer with constipation... treating it by changing diet , increasing water but still it's uncomfortable . I also use acupressure and stomach massage. Hopefully it clears up for good .
Me too. I’ve always been prone to constipation and since I had it I am always constipated with abdominal pain/discomfort.
I’m experiencing the same problem with chronic constipation 7 months after my infection. I’m so done with this. I’m vegan. Have been for 25 yrs. I’m eating prunes and prune juice with laxatives with very little results.
I’ve had chronic constipation along with abdominal bloating and pressure x6 months. I also had Omicron around the same time these symptoms started but never made a connection between the 2 before now.
@@lauralong6695 I blamed my constipation and GI symptoms on going off my vegan diet but nothing has changed since getting back on track. The usual fruit and increased water intake haven’t helped.

I got Covid-19 back in October 2021 I lost my taste and smell and in April 2022 I had a antibodies test and it came back I have very high antibodies. When I had Covid-19 I had to have oxygen at home I was sick for a month I did not get diarrhea I got constipated and looked like I was pregnant with twins. I had to go to the hospital and everything they gave me did not help my stools pass so they sent me home with a jug of stuff to drinkand that got stuff moving. One month after I was no longer sick I started having heartburn every day I could not drink water cause it made the heartburn worse I had to stop taking my bladder medication cause it made the heartburn worse The only thing I could drink was pedialyte when I ate food I can feel food going down and it is painful and causes heartburn sometimes stuff comes back up and that's painful and causes heartburn most the times when I eat my stomach will get bloated and I start to burp and pass gas and sometimes it feels like my intestines get hot and they will hurt along with having pain in my stomach and sometimes my stomach will feel cold inside and hot. I have had lots of test done and a Biopsy and all the test showed was that I now have Dumping Syndrome the Doctor's say my stomach empties really fast now. I get the diarrhea sometimes after I eat but not every time. I pass stools three times a day. The Doctor's say that Dumping Syndrome would not cause all my problems I never had stomach problems until I got Covid and all the medications the Doctor's gave me only made things worse The only way I can get the heartburn to go away is to sip on baking soda water through out the day I still have all of this going on with my stomach and see the Doctor's and feel like I have no hope for help I have done so much research and only found stuff on people in the ICU that had diarrhea or people that had diarrhea with Covid-19. I never got diarrhea with Covid-19 it made me constipated I know I am not the only person in the world that got constipated but yet there are not studies. Before I got Covid I would sometimes get heartburn depending on what I ate. The NIH sent me your video and I'm really not sure what your video is going to do to help me cause it seems like your video is also about people that had diarrhea and I'm wondering if you read these comments I wonder if I'm going to get any help from anyone I have been living miserable life ever day and as time goes on my stomach just seems to get worse and my Doctor's can't seem to help me and three months after I had Covid-19 my hair started to fall out I get headaches a lot and sometimes pain in my brain I lost interest in things I like doing before Covid-19. When I had Covid-19 the hospital wanted to admit me cause of my oxygen but I was afraid and told them no I was on steroids for a month at home with the oxygen.
Any line of treatment still suffereing the same from jan 2022 and its jan 2024 😊.
I had COVID in August 2022, I am having gi issues still now . Abdomen pain , gastritis , long term diarrhoea . etc . I couldn't eat anything complex . I am feeling sad all the day and somedays I think that I am having some serious illness .

Many people have long haul COVID with GI and brain issues. You are spot on. The GI symptoms can sometimes be cured with probiotics and prebiotics but the brain symptoms do not completely resolve right away. The fluvoxamine treatment may help with the serotonin issue. I suspect that there may also be a vitamin b depletion issue and selenium status seems to also play a role.
What pro/pre biotics do you recommend? And should they be low histamine from possible MCAS?
Best comment right here!
The fluvoxamine is supposed to be antiinflammatory working on the cytokines
From endoplasmatic reticulae in the brain.
How are u
Wow, thank you. Ive just been diagnosed with this by my GI. Ive been battling since april. GI is putting my on a "mush diet" for a couple weeks and will be tapering me off the medication gradually. GI had it too. GI says there is hope for recovery! So forward we go!
How are you now? Any significant improvement?
How did you go
@skyerobinson4148 I lost my GI. The main office closed his doors. I ended up seeing a functional medicine doctor in Colorado. I am doing very good. We worked on my microbiome. I am eating again. I am off all medications. No heart burn, my stools are regular again. I can eat salads, nuts, butter, and many things. I do stay away from wheat, process food, and sugar. They seem to cause inflammation. So I am on the mend. Good luck to all dealing with gastroparesis. It's nasty stuff.
@@dawnhopkins9178 that's awesome functional medicine drs sound amazing we don't have them here just GPs
Thank you doc. I just got out the hospital and it seems like every doctor that say me was lost. But just explained most of my issues in 10min
Many cases of pancreatitis and h pylori are seen post covid
I’m 6 months into long hauling. Biggest issue is that it manifested as erosive gastritis (never had this before) and is not fixable. Doctors say “time”. Gastritis has caused a severe vitamin b12 deficiency and vitamin D deficiency.
6 months post covid, silent reflux problems persist. Throat inflammed constantly, I think IT Has to do with Vagus nerve damage aswell.
Heart palpitations?
@@Slap_it_in yeah, that too.
Last year it was triggered when I ate anything sweet. Literally skipping beats then next beat twice as hard.
@@Michauu Ive always had some small palpitations, but when I had covid I never had a cough, I had really bad soar throat 2 months later all the sudden constant reflux. Its so bad, now I have heart palpitations constantly. I hate covid so much.
Currently facing IBS symptoms. First week after testing positive for COVID I had fever non stop. Second week things cleared up. No more fever, but still had the runny nose and coughing. 3rd week felt good again, but headaches, brain fog, nausea, and fatigue lingered a bit. Then noticed that I started getting constipated. After COVID symptoms pretty much cleared up(except brain fog and fatigue) still had constipation and other issues. Was givin antibiotics for another condition I was diagnosed with. After finishing my antibiotics(took for a week) I felt like I was back to normal. No constipation. Had all my energy back. I felt stronger than ever. For only about 2 days I felt normal. Then suddenly constipation came back along with diarrhea even. Fatigue and brain fog came back. Might’ve been the antibiotics that tampered with my gut health. All I know is Ive been having sharp pains in my left side. Feel bloated and gassy. (Especially left side) Even sharp pain in my pelvic muscles sometimes.(left side). Anxiety has been through the roof I already get bad anxiety as it is. Majority of the day I feel my heart pounding away even tho I feel calm. (One symptom after COVID that never cleared up either) Feel like I have no concentration most of the time. Still feel fatigued even after a good nights rest sometimes. That’s if I can stay asleep the whole night. I’m just not sure if it’s because of COVID or the antibiotics that may have tampered with my gut health. Hell maybe both. It’s been a rough 2 months. Started eating more veggies and fruits. Increasing my vitamin intake, too. I still have an appetite, but I’m staying away from fast food and anything heavy. So far it’s only been about a week I starting facing IBS. Only time will tell if I feel better.
I had Covid for the first time in September of ‘22. I developed post-viral gastroparesis that lasted four or five months. Lots of nausea and vomiting. I caught Covid again at the end of July and had a lot of gastro symptoms and now the gastroparesis is back. I threw up around lunchtime, but I haven’t eaten today so I was throwing up dinner from last night, 14 hours later.
how do you catch covid more than once? The vaccine suppose to stop infection.
I don't know if it's related or not but I got my 3rd covid shot in January 2022. About a week or 2 later I began having diarrhea. I didn't think too much of it at the time as I have had gastrointestinal issues due to lactose intolerance and some other food sensitivities. However after a completely changing my diet I began to have that diarrhea for a very long time. It is now July 22 and it's finally stopping. I even had to have a gastroscope and a colonoscopy just to rule out anything serious. And now I am terrified to get a 4th dose. I can not imagine going through that again if that is in fact what caused it for me. It was conveniently only a week or 2 after my 3rd dose. One of my friends who is an antivaxer told me that that's probably what it was. Now I am not an anti vaxer I believe in vaccines and I know that they do a lot of good but could this have been an issue for me? I know that sometimes there are people who have symptoms that are sort of on the rare side so I'm really concerned about getting that 4th vaccine in the fall.
Hi dia how are you doing am having the same problem after taking PFIZER covid vaccine it's now 5 months but my stomach still bloating, am having, muscle twitching, body is itching like crazy, am having blood clots in mouth and tongue, my tongue is white now and I have white patches in mouth am having burning lips and vesicles, extreme fatigue, pins and needles, i wake up every morning when all my fingers are paining please friends what can I do because I was supper healthy before vaccine but now I don't know what to do

I’ve been having Gi issues for 1.5 years immediately after Covid. Just recently ended up in hospital with severe GI issues. CT scan and US revealed nothing. Getting blood panel and stool sample now. Most likely will reveal nothing. I’m leaning more towards slow gut problems. Been home for 2 weeks can’t even go to work. I’ve switched to 100% clean eating and that’s not helping either. Gonna try low fodmap
I caught covid 2nd time, post symptom i had sudden food allergy to sth i never had. Then one day i had a very bad indigestion from taking a watermelon juice. Had diarrhea for 2 days, bad stomach cramp and gas for almost a week, cldnt eat properly so i went for liquid diet. Its been like almost 2 months now and i started to take some supplements called zencoso and probiotics from time to time to make me feel better but Im still getting cramps and constipation, planning for colonoscopy soon.
I developed a wicked summer cold. It started as a pain just below my rib cage. It went to my lungs. Congested my lungs and then created wicked constipation. I thought I had a a Vagus nerve problem as the pain was right in that area.
Mi GI issue started exactly there, below the left rib cage, then spread to every where
Ty. Oh, I am very scared. I had Covid last September. And then like a month after I was having trouble breathing, so it turned out I had post Covid bronchial asthma, and the only time I ever had heartburn was when I was pregnant. But since about last October. I get horrible heartburn and Gerd almost every day. I take a Tums and it goes away. I am praying so much that the as well and now learning that garage or esophagus trouble can become cancer. I am definitely going to go to a G.I.. I hope it’s not too late. And I wish I knew what the statistics for going away since it is from Covid. I also have trouble swallowing I cannot, because by well I just explained? Any opinions?
Similar. Had a mild case of omicron, no major issues during. Later weight loss and unexpected vertigos that scared me. Months and half later GI issues, loose stool in the morning, diarrhea that got worse and worse and worse , and also strange moodiness, weird anxiety. All results are clear. Every doctor said I’m fine. Yet I’m not. I’m miserable. Had diarrhea to the point I want able to drive because of how weak I was. Iris probiotics, psyllum, no improvement. Also have a mild tenderness under the right rib, but nothing found. Year and half later it still persist. Also. A word bubbly feeling in feeling when I digest and constant gasiness. I had no issues whatsoever before and had most healthy poops. I also had a vaccine which seems to not have prevented anything,
Tried it (Florastore in the US). Didn’t help.
Most likely what you’re having is fictional diarrhea. E.g. vivid messed up neurological regulation and not the microbiota itself (although possible). I had GI map testing done. Showed nothing.
To me personally probiotic Bifiform helped (really makes poop rocks) . Also restore your neurological system . I was prescribed Actavegin IV large doses. Some psych medicine Quebtiapine, really made me sleepy but also significantly slowed down my bowels. And 2 months of vit B complexes.
I’m not perfect but I’m better. Stomach is sensitive but not like before where it was borderline scary.
So all and all it seems it’s very neurologically related and cvd damages your autonomic nervous system significantly along with other things.
If I have covid how do I cope with the abdominal pain
In october 2021 i got covid, 7 months later i got GI issues, can this be post covid?
It’ll be pretty much a year I would’ve thought it went away by now. I’m just hoping to hear that usually post Covid asthma and heartburn and Gerd etc. usually goes away or reschedule a lot better. I don’t know why it affects swallowing.
covid healed my stomach ulcer that I had since 2009. during the infection one of my sx was vomiting several times a day. I also lost 17 pounds and the weight has stayed off my blood pressure runs low whereas before it would range in the hypertension stage 140/90 my weight and height is 165 and 6'.1"
How could it have cured your ulcers?
@@texas_2x503 I would like to know too
My friend thought it cured her ulcer but she started becoming lighter and lighter and dizzy all the time. The doctors first diagnosed her with low iron but it didn’t get better she went back again after a month so her doctor suggested they do an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Mind you her ulcer was no long reacting to spicy foods and acids so she thought it’s healed. When she went it for her gastroscope her stomach was bleeding inside hence the ulcer wasn’t sore. And if she didn’t follow it up she was gonna be faced with worse. She had to undergo surgery and was given plenty of meds. I’m glad it healed yours
I had covid back in january, the first symptom was very sharp pain in my abdomen that woke me up at night , 3 days later my whole body started to hurt then fever, sour throat etc. but never diarrhea.
After covid I started to have pain in my stomach, mostly in my abdomen quite often.,I never had this problem before.
It's been months already and it's getting a little worse, now I get diarrhea at least once a wk.
I'm letting my doctor know asap.
Hi Camille. So what did you find out?
May be SARS COV2 induce persistent infection?
Did we know at what tissue temperature SARS COV2 better replicate?
At TWIV Nr 659 at min29 Christian Drosten indicate that.
How do they test for this, been sick since September of 2021. My doctor thinks I am crazy.
Anybody recovered from GI issues ?
Take some Ivermectin to flush it out of your stomach. Make sure to eat fatty food before you do so. Eat fermented food such as Kimchi, or sourkraut. And if your into all that vaccine stuff, stop, once is good enough.
I live in Norfolk and really want to see this Doctor but my insurance isn't accepted. I've been having bad gi symptoms since August. Had an EGD, colonoscopy, stomach emptying test, and several stool/blood samples. Nothing. I'm 150 lbs and eat well but I've had silent reflux since last December and diarrhea nearly daily since August. It all started one day in August with 15 diarrhea stools in one day. I had to go to the ER that day because I thought I was going to die. Scary stuff. It's getting incredibly depressing and exhausting not knowing how to get better while keeping my weight from dipping down any further. Going to a GI doc in Newport News who has basically written me off isn't helping my mental. Just thought I'd vent.
So sorry, praying for us all!
Hey my story is similar to yours, last August i had gi symptoms from covid mainly diarrhea that lasted for 3 months, 3-5 times per day, i did colonoscopy and stool tests all is normal, i am a bit better now but still i am not back to normal at all, my bowel movements are very weird and can’t understand it, the doctor said it could be IBS after covid, it is very depressing not to know what you have, tried probiotics and vitamins but didn’t really make a huge difference
@@davidaziz3923 Oh yeah I've tried it all. Alternated between fluffy loose stools and fatty shiny stools. Compete lake of energy. The last week and a half though I started to a lot of cardio on my recumbent bike every day for about a half hour until I'm covered in sweat. And I do light lifting every other day. Its too soon to tell but my energy is way higher this last week and my stools are looking almost normal. If you're not moving around a lot or exercising, I think the key is to get a good workout almost every day. I'm starting to think that it's an anxiety related thing as my mood has improved greatly with exercise. Could also be a long hauler covid thing that is eradicated through intense exercise. The first few days were really tough as I had no energy but it improved quickly with the new found energy. Let me know how much you exercise, it could help!
By chance have you been tested for h pylori?
@@gabriellerodriguez4709 yup, had several fecal tests done that showed nothing. My GI doctor prescribed me an anti depressant medication yesterday because she believes theres some connection issue between my brain and gut. I honestly don't think it'll work but in trying it. Do you find your morning stools to be worse than stools passed later in the day? (Assuming you have this issue as well)
Treatment??
There is no treatment for post viral disease or M.E.
They have nothing
Can't develop a treatment plan without proper testing first. GI Stool Effects would be the first test to get a good picture of what's going on in the gut, the Western Medicine Docs won't do it, but an Holistic Doc will. Find someone good to work with.
I got c in Jan, after 1w I started to get rhe runs. And then it wouldn't stop. Finally after 1m it slowed down but I can't eat without going to the bathroom. Shortly after.

I felt sick for around 5 weeks after my vaccines and booster. I have since recovered from Covid-19 and I had my gastric system heavily disrupted, and it will not go away. If people are reporting symptoms with the vaccine, I would guess that the virus could possibly effect those areas based on my experience.
I’ve had all the symptoms from the vaccine
I've had these symptoms from Astra Zeneca, much milder with Pfizer. Now, 2 years later, I got Covid and it's all over again. My gut had not even recovered in 2-3 years. So the vaccine and Covid gave me pretty much the same horrific, long-term symptoms and my poor gut just keeps getting weaker.
The last booster i got, had a slow trip down into a 2 month ibs attack, and i had not had an attack in years, lived on yogart and bananas and light foods for the whole time, applesauce and toast, i lost 10 lbs , and worked, but was on the couch every weekend for 2 months. locked up ,iike trying to void one half a split log. There is a connection ibs is not fun under normal conditions depending on your body and how it effects you , boosters have me tangled up in poo .
Ibs also common
i have so many questions please someone help me, i’ve been sick for 2 1/2 months with major stomach issues. can’t eat anything.
After contracting covid omicron I have noticed sustained pressure on the right hand side of my ribs. (Feel it breathing in)
A few weeks after recovering from
Covid, i was hit with something much worse. Symptoms were:
Upper abdominal pain
High fever
Nausea and Vomiting
Brain fog and persistent headache
Muscle soreness and stiffness
Me too. Till today
Me too. I heard covid can attack the gallbladder and liver. Ace2 inhibitor is what covid is attacking and disrupts the gallbladder ducts. I'm on a low fat diet and taking bile salts supplement and bacterial cleanse supplement. It seems to help with stomach discomfort.
@@thandomapeyi3757 Try taking bile salts supplements and a low fat diet if your gallbladder it's working properly it seems to be working for me.
@@thefontzchannel thank you so much.
Even I feel the same bro
Got covid in 😮January and 100% caused my ibs which in turn caused depression and anxiety. Now on 2 antidepressant’s and ibs meds and probably will be for life. No energy and no desire to do anything, my whole life I was an active person and now at 52 my life will never be the same
I'm sorry I feel you. I'm in kinda same boat waiting for the GI appointment but I have managed anxiety and low mood thru prayer. I have low energy and lots of body symptoms.
You need to find a qualified holistic Doctor/Specialist who can help you. I don't care how old you are. I had IBS before Covid and healed it. With proper testing, they can diagnose what's going on in the gut and help you fix it. The Western Medicine Doctors will just pump you with drugs for life, don't fall for that.

@@checkpickerupper7384 me too :(
@@checkpickerupper7384 Have your systems improved? I hope so. If so, did you take anything that helped?
EDIT: After 6 days of using Align, my symptoms seem to have returned. Very disappointed but I needed to correct the record. END EDIT
Thanks to this group of people making comments here, I went and bought Align 5x Extra Strength and within 36 hours and 2 capsules I have tangible improvement after 3 months of these Covid GI symptoms. Was thinking of waiting few days more to post this but to feel this much better this fast after 3 month of stomach issues, I just had to pass this on. Thanks to everyone who recommended Align. BTW, Culturelle didn't do much of anything for me a couple weeks ago and a week of use 2x a day. All the best people...
Sorry but did Align help you or not?
@@JayTsay short term yes, for about 3 days on double dose. Longer term no. Ask your doctor or for a test for "gastroparesis" as that's what's common after covid 19. Good luck.
Covid constipation :(
LONG VAX
Its the shot period
I'm not vaccinated, I got COVID last Monday and now I'm on UA-cam trying to figure out why I feel like I'm going to vomit 24/7
It's not that simple
