I have bloating, alternating mild diarrhea and constipation, discomfort in belly, early satiety, reduced appetite, prolonged fullness after meals... all these symptoms for past 2+ years after covid. Currently I'm malnutritioned, had to leave my job because of it. Colonoscopy, ultrasound and abdominal CT didn't show any abnormality except for increased vascularity around colon. Dietary changes, exercise etc. doesn't have any affect on my symptoms. Maybe I have gastroparesis since food moves very slowly and doesn't digest completely, though I'm not sure. At this point, I'm desperately looking for answers...
I'm so sorry to hear this...COVID can definitely set off a cascade of longer term problems. I think the key is to focus on the supporting your immune system. OFten there is some Mast Cell Activation that has to get managed. I would look into that, and I hope it gets better.
Post Covid I was suffering with Gerd and IBS type symptoms. I’ve found going gluten free, no alcohol, chocolate, onions/garlic. removed 99% of heartburn but the inconsistent IBS is driving me nuts. Foods that I’ve already trialed in and out of my diet as safe foods - then I’ll be ill 5/6 hours later normally late in the evening. Cramps followed by loose bowl movement
I never had covid but started having gut issues soon after I got the second Pfizer shot. Really bad nausea, feeling that a thick sour substance was in my gut. That limited my ability to walk , exercise. About six months later my issues moved to my intestines . This all started in September of 2021. I have overall blah feeling, bloated, slight nausea, slight feeling of sickness after bm. Some days bad some days ok, never great.
This is intriguing. I had IBS for 15 years, then started drinking kefir daily (probiotics), then began putting in a fruit smoothie (good for pre-biotics) and had the colon of a 15-year-old for almost ten years. And then COVID hit in late 2023. My stomach has been messed up ever since. Not as bad as some I've heard; I kept up with my kefir and smoothies and maybe that helped, but it's overly sensitive. Honestly, the biggest culprit seems to be red meat but I haven't been bitten my the lone star tick or been in an environment they are native to. It was doing okay for a few months, then in June, I had a flare and it's been iffy ever since. I will look into your suggestions; I prefer to try one at a time, and build up. I was hoping oil of oregano would even me out--it usually takes care of little flares I've had--but not this time. Boo.
Both my Roomate and I are having the same symptoms after Covid, (he gave it to me) feeling food stuck, burping a lot, we’re not throwing up, we’re not nauseous, but I can tell it’s hard to digest protein (doing pea protein) as I can feel it. Will be going back to the doctor in a few weeks for a check up but I’m off the meds and wanted to ask if I should wait or take supplements?
Sorry you haven't been feeling well...technically you should check with your doctor before starting new supplements. However, simple vitamins are often just simple helpful supports, so it's up to you.
I too have symptoms like you - upset stomach, poor digestion but no vomiting or nausea. I don't have Gerd and Pain. But can't digest well and becoming malnutritioned. How you doing now?
@@tonymok7752 hey! Last year from March - April it was the worst. It got better late April and it went away. But I still felt fatigue for many more weeks after. It was definitely something from Covid.
Hi Alessandro, you're welcome :) Yes, for many people, fish oil can be helpful for inflammation, but for some people the oils can be aggravating for the gut, even though it may be helpful for systemic inflammation. The way to tell is to test it out and see how you respond. Thanks for watching!
I'm not really sure, other than that covid seems to inflame the gut lining and this could somehow compromise normal gut motility, leading to reflux/GERD. I do have a whole video on reflux, which you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/80JudNO2V4A/v-deo.html
That is a good question. I haven't done much research on it, except I read one really interesting study that showed that L-tryptophan may be helpful for resolving some long covid symptoms. I'm not sure where I read it, but it was a credible, real study.
Yes, absolutely...taking enzymes doesn't stop your body from producing it's own enzymes...but supplementing can be necessary if your body isn't producing enough currently. Supporting stomach acid can help with your natural enzyme production. Here's my video about that: ua-cam.com/video/zh28pEB6eiU/v-deo.html
Thank you very insightful of what I need to be doing
I'm glad this was helpful for you.

Try a functional medicine doctor. They found sifo (small intestinal fungal overgrowth) in me that was undiagnosed.

Impact is a noun

I fasted. Omad low histamine food, tulsi, milk thistle and woodworm.
After two months stable.
Ok it came back way worse. 😂😂😂
Cant eat gluten stuff and weird things like cauliflower anymore.
You are a wealth of knowledge. You made it very clear to me that general health is directly connected to a person's gut. Thank You, you have helped me
Thanks so much for your kind comment, and thanks for watching too, John :)
Stiff stomach no digestive process
Really nice video thanks! Could also fish oil (omega-3) help in reducing inflammation in the gut?

Do you happen to know why some people get bad acid reflux or GERD after their first infection? And how to heal that?
I'm not really sure, other than that covid seems to inflame the gut lining and this could somehow compromise normal gut motility, leading to reflux/GERD. I do have a whole video on reflux, which you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/80JudNO2V4A/v-deo.html
It’s been two years since this video was made. Are there new findings on this topic?
That is a good question. I haven't done much research on it, except I read one really interesting study that showed that L-tryptophan may be helpful for resolving some long covid symptoms. I'm not sure where I read it, but it was a credible, real study.
I wanted to know mam if i am taking digestive enzymes now can I body make it again once I stop taking it??
Yes, absolutely...taking enzymes doesn't stop your body from producing it's own enzymes...but supplementing can be necessary if your body isn't producing enough currently.
