I had Covid last Oct. Got severe diarrhea with it. That continued to this early April. Had blood work, stool samples that found nothing. I took probiotics, drank kefir, ate Activia yogurt with probiotics, tried the BRAT diet and fasted on just broth for several days. Nothing seemed to help. Early April took a trip for a week and took Imodium every morning, since I was going to be out and about every day and didn’t want to be chained to having to find a restroom constantly. When I got home I stopped the Imodium and low and behold, I was back to normal.
Gastroenterologist said they know very little on how Covid works on the intestinal tract. Not comforting at all. Hope you can find something that works. It may be that it just takes time.
Wow! That’s so interesting that the Imodium seemed to fix things for you! I’m so glad that you feel back to normal! 🙂
My main issues are GERD and burping…sometimes like 100 times a day! It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced, and I hope it ends soon. I’m going to try some of the things people have suggested here and pray something does the trick!
We have young friends our son’s age (late twenties) who had bad, untreated Covid last March. It triggered severe Crohn’s in her and GERD in him (he just had a scope that only confirmed severe GERD, thankfully nothing more serious). They’re young parents and watching them suffer breaks my heart.
Yep, there are so many gastro issues associated with this virus. Gastroenterologist said she went to a week long seminar with Drs. from all specialities and they all came away with the take that they know very little about what is happening to people or why related to Covid. I said I don’t think it’s only about Covid but the jab also. Not sure she wanted to hear that but she did own up to the fact the medical community dropped the ball in this mess. I asked her if she and other Drs.understand that so many of us no longer have faith in her profession and she said yes. That is a big problem for us and the patients when they no longer trust us. I told her perhaps Drs. should stop listening to the CDC. They are not your friend! I think she got wide-eyed on that comment.😳🤣
Hope you can get to the bottom of your issues and heal.
I totally agree with you on the jab issues as well as the lost trust. I’m glad you told her your perspective. If more patients do that, it might help make an actual change!
No, but that’s a good suggestion, thanks! I’m working with a functional med practitioner and have been using probiotics and other supplements.

Absolutely, Donald, probiotics are a must. We believe in fermented food. Me: kim chi and tsukemono. Him: unpasteurized beer.
