Is constipation a symptom of long covid

The above, all good tips for sluggish bowel. After Covid, none of it works for me. I struggle mightily now to move my bowel at all without laxative, which I never used before Covid, not wanting to strip my bowel of good biome. I find it’s a whole new ballgame getting relief after Covid. I use laxatives, enemas, and suppositories, and still feel my bowel never completely evacuates. Also as suggested, I walk, eat well, drink plenty of water, and try, try, try, to keep things moving.
It’s just one more way Covid has wrecked me.

Sorry to hear about your bowel issues. At one time we all suffered in silence.
Now that I’m 80 I’m “free at last”.
After surgery my constipation was so acute I ended up in the emergency room.
My Dr prescribed MetaMucil (I use gummies) and MiraLax daily, now I’m a “regular guy”!
Hope you find what works for you.
Blessings.

Me too. I have no answers either just trying to get through each day
