I had COVID in July 2022 and have experienced diarrhea ever since. My physician suggested a specific type of probiotic, and some other gut treatments, but the diarrhea has not really improved.
I have most recently read Dr. Davis’s book “Gut Health”, and am now going to try his recommendation for homemade yogurts.
Additionally, I have high cholesterol and an out of balance hypothyroid. To deal with that part of the issue I am using Zonya Foco’s “Eat Real” Cookbook 28 day Kickstart.
Some foods definitely trigger the worst symptoms. But I haven’t identified the specific foods well at this point. When the symptoms are intense, I have rumbling in the lower abdomen, bloating, and gas besides the diarrhea.
The diarrhea is low to moderate, but the bloating and gas will wake me up in the middle of the night.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I had similar issues starting in October and switched to an IBS diet. Eliminated most dairy, beans and certain veges. Also went gluten-free and that has all helped. All labs came back normal except for some inflammation. I also increased probiotics altho prebiotics in tandem with the probiotic triggered it again. Hope you heal better.
