Hello, 16 months of GI long covid here. I declined both tests after friends with long covid had severe reactions to them. All other gut tests were negative, including all the fecal tests, which is something you will commonly see in this group. I am using reco's from a functional medicine doctor: a high quality probiotic everyday, prebiotic as needed, added avocados and chick peas to support certain good gut bugs, substantially reduced meat intake, avoid anything that causes inflammation! Be alert for food triggers!!!!!!!! All the best, Greg

Thanks so much! I think I will postpone then, it seems no point in undergoing all those invasive tests when they will most likely come back normal. My symptoms are not even than severe anymore, so hopefully they will continue to slowly improve. I am taking pre/probiotics (Kijimea PRO have helped) and pantoprazole, which also helps a bit with the stomach aches. I had a food intolerance test (which have no scientific backing but some friends said it helped so I gave it a go) and am excluding milk and egg and limiting gluten from diet. Not eating gluten espcially helps me a lot, I feel less bloated and less constipated when I totally exclude it from the diet. I hope this will slowly pass... I am not very hopeful about Drs as they really have no clue, this is so new for them too. I hope you find some relief too, this is hard!
