Severe constipation after covid: What helps?

Yes! I had Covid 2 months ago and have been terribly constipated since. Have tried fiber, laxatives, stool softeners.. I eat tons of fiber. Nothing works long.

I also have had lots of difficulties with constipation since Covid has been around. No issues before. Lots of tests with normal results, lots of trying prescription medications, laxatives, low Fodmap diet. What I've had mine narrowed down to has been SIBO and more specifically IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth). Test to figure this out was a TrioSmart breath test and treatment is a course of 2 expensive antibiotics for 2 weeks. But for me this keeps recurring and there is no identified cause.
