Upper and lower gastrointestinal issues are regularly associated with Covid and Long Covid.

The virus damages the absorptive stuctures in the small intestine which impacts many functions in your body. The digestive digestive nervous system regulates many functions up and down the system from acid prodiction or lack of in the stomach to serotonin production and counter regulation impacting digestion, heart rate, sleep, lack of, absorption of nutrients, bacterial activity in the stomach and lower GI (can impact pH regulation which is good or bad for bacteria) and so on.

Sars CoV-2 wrecks the gut.

Significant recent research has shown that in almost all with Long Covid, the virus is present, alive, and harboring in the smal intestine, continually damaging the absorptive tissues such as villi and microvilli.

The result: bloating after eating, discomfort, failure to produce serotonin, improper up and down reglation of the DNS, poor absorption, diarhea, etc...

Kill the virus is the solution. How? There are many suggestions, but none I have found work except for fasting (removes contents of stomach) and then consuming only bitter herbs and other plant family species which have significant phytochems which kill the virus. Then restore gut bacteria, after fast/phytochem treatment, with any good brand of probiotics.

This has worked for me several times.
