Oh my goodness! Forgot to check back on my original post once I was healed - and yes, I am healed! I want to update you on how this happened. Shortly after my post ( nearly 1 year post Covid ), I began seeing a holistic minded chiropractor who also does acupuncture. I had a neck problem, but also wanted to discuss this issue. She immediately shook her head yes as I was describing it all, and understood and agreed with what I knew was happening. I had a strong immune system; I take probiotics; I had been Covid vaccinated; and then I got the strange intestinal only Covid. My immune system and the Covid vaccine were having a battle in my intestines post Covid. Intestinal inflammation was causing stool to stay in intestines too long, removing too much water from the stool, resulting in hard marble like stool.

She suggested a book called The Prime written by a doctor (here in the USA, but originally from India). She created a program for her (mostly obese) patients whom she discovered had very unhealthy gut/colon/intestines. Long story short - EXACTLY what was needed. A simple gut healing detoxification. No weird cleansing of innards, nothing like that. You do it in 3 stages: starts with making a tea each morning using 3 spices: fennel seed, cumin seed, coriander seed. Drink it all day. You begin taking something I already knew about and had forgotten: Triphala - it's simply 3 berries. Also add some natural fiber and ground flaxseed every few nights. And there were a few other simple things. My body responded almost immediately. The tea and Triphala soothed and reduced the inflammation. You add a few more things in stages 2 and 3. I am grateful every single day for a normal functioning gut. I also had 1 acupuncture treatment specifically focused on the gut. I think it also contributed to my healing.

I'm happy to share more details. Those of you still dealing with this - don't give up hope - our bodies are amazing at healing. We just need to help it a little and understand how.
