Took probiotics with good results long before COVID. Post-antibiotics, here comes ten-day course of Visbiome as recommended by a Providence dietician-nutritionist. By far the best, most effective probiotic I've ever used
Post-COVID, digestive issues never seemed to settle down - probiotocs helped, but the good bacteria never seemed to take hold. Tried fermented foods, etc. with very little effect.
Recently tried Laird Superfood Prebiotic Daily Greens for general nutrition benefits (OK... these days prebiotic is the buzzword) and felt results first day; by third day things were back to normal. Have stayed that way since. Normal poops with no unaccounted extremes either way with this green mix as part of my regular diet. Other green powders I'd tried seemed like they didn't hurt but didn't help much. (in fairness, I still haven't tried AG1, but will stick with Laird's.)
Now, two weeks in, I seem to get more nutrition out of the food I eat - diet hasn't changed much. but I seem to be deriving more benefit from each good meal. The results are cumulative.
My sense is that COVID must raise absolute hell with every tissue it touches - gut lining included. This combination - a good probiotic as needed plus Laird greens to kick it along and help it work on a daily basis - helps.
Had been taking their Funcional Mushrooms with my morning coffee for a while as recommended by Shawn O'Brian on his blog (truth the media won't touch) and have experienced marked increases in mental clarity since - not a full remission from LC brain fog, but definite improvement and welcome relief.
Both products highly recommended for LC symptoms that they address.
Thanks for the reply and info. Tried prebiotics, but surprisingly made me more nauseous. Disapppointing.
