As of today, I don't suffer with bouts of gas, cramps or loose stools. In fact, my stools are much harder, and I am suffering more with constipation than I did prior to co-vid. After writing my first comment, I experienced major GI issues. A hiatel hernia issue which allowed my stomach to grow up thru the hole in the hernia and esophagus into my upper chest between my rib cage and lungs. Emergency surgery after experiencing severe stomach pain saved my life. They inserted a feeding tube which I had for 131 days feeding me only Jevity for nourishment. No liquid or food down my throat during that time. Just had the tube removed within the last two weeks and am slowly starting to eat most foods except for meat, fried foods and carbonated beverages which causes me to feel very uncomfortably bloated. My surgeon suggested this issue may have been caused by the co-vid. Since getting co-vid back in December of 2020, I still have poor taste and smell issues, some shortage of cognitive ability, and something called co-vid quads which has left my legs very weak resulting in balance issues. Wish I could help you with good news but so far, I'm an older than I should be, 83-year-old male. Good Luck.
