7. Digestive Issues

Digestive problems have been discovered to be common in people with long COVID. The symptoms may include bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acidity, acid reflux, gaseousness, and an exacerbation of IBS. This is because the coronavirus disrupts the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, along with the pancreas and liver.

According to a study of 147 patients with no pre-existing gastrointestinal conditions, 16% of them complained about digestive symptoms about 100 days after their coronavirus infection. While scientists are still investigating how long COVID affects the digestive system, it appears that the gut lining contains a large number of the receptors that the coronavirus uses to invade cells.

If you struggle with symptoms like constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea, it’s important to adjust your diet to help your body recover faster. Try to reduce processed foods, include more fruits and vegetables in your diet, and avoid taking too many over-the-counter products to treat your condition.

    Since I got the booster shots almost a year ago, my taste of food is altered to the point that if you blindfolded me and asked what I was eating, I wouldn’t know. How much longer must I wait until this corrects itself?

  3. Since having the Covid shots (2) the last one in February, 2021,I have had to lean to walk again (this being with the help of a walker), kidney problems, and 24/7 care. I can’t work, cook, wash clothes, shop, housework, etc. Will I ever be able to do these things again?
    I’ve had two doctors tell me they believe my medical conditions are due to reaction to Covid-19 vaccine.
    I would call this Long Covid! And with no hope of getting better and no one to blame.

  4. I would like to know when the public is going to be informed of these long covid/ vaccine injuries. I’ve been experiencing many health issues and doctors become deaf at the mention of Covid being responsible. It is not discussed. currently my blood sugar has been higher then usual and I am having a hard time getting it to a more normal range. Why do we see more encouragement to take the Covid shot if it is known that it causes these long term ill effects? It was known early on that it does not prevent a person from getting covid and the symptoms of the virus has mutated to more of a very bad head cold then a fatal respiratory virus, so why the encouragement of injecting ourselves with something that just exacerbates inflammation and makes us feel ill? These are my questions.
