Covid Recovery: How can I manage GI issues?

I am the same as you! Occasional diarrhea before Covid but was never constipated. Post Covid, constipated every single day for 8 months now. Colonoscopy was normal. I have also found that a magnesium pill morning and night is the only thing that fixes it, but if I skip even one day it’s back. Doctors won’t believe me that it’s COVID related. I know nothing about Peptiva though, and since the magnesium, is working for me I’m sticking with that. I’ve had a lot of other long COVID symptoms too (severe widespread pain and inflammation, heart palpitations, and chest jumping at night), but the constipation is the only one that’s not improving at all.

Hi, I’m new to this forum, but just as you mentioned, for me it’s the constipation along with a lot of bloating, that will not go away. I already had the colonoscopy & endoscopy done with No results, all came back normal. I can only do No.2 by taking laxatives the night before, so it’s an all day event the next day and after that, the gas and bloating comes into play. Don’t know what else I can do. Anyone else with similar issues?

Magnesium night and day + fiber foods + lots of water + yogurt works for me some of the time but I still get constipated occasionally or experience unexpected, embarrassing pebbles. Hard to know what the day will bring.Thanks for your affirmation!! Lucy
