I had Covid in January, during the time I had thick mucus moving up from my lungs and spilling into my esophagus. After testing negative I still had the same only that the mucus is non viscous. The short answer from my own observation is that the mucus lubricates the digestive track leading to frequent and unexpected bowel movements. Most times I can get to a bathroom in time, sometimes not. Some days this lasts all day and some, it ends by 9, 10, or 11 a.m.
loperamide is ineffective as this is not diarrhea. my conclusion is that the matter crosses the transverse colon and spills unabated through the Sigmoid.
