I have been with Long Covid for close to 3 years. I have or had all the symptom's on the charts. I've carried most of them all this time, others come and go. We all know all about that, moving forward. I was a healthy mid 50's Gal, doing life, with my kids and hubby. I worked a lot. I loved all of my hats! I had a full time professional career in lending, I was Co-Host & Ex. Producer on a music pod cast, I wrote articles for a music magazine, I wrote reviews for record companies and independent artists reviewing their new music releases and live performances. I worked out. I did a lot of stuff. Now, I don't - do any of those things. I try. Anyway, a few months ago I started have these GI issues. My Doc advised to drink more water. My blood work came back that I was dehydrated. Meanwhile I drink a ton of water so that didn't make sense to us. I drank more water - no change. The Doc ordered more blood tests ( I guess? - I really don't remember all the details here). I have the same problem but its going on, and on, this can't be good for my body. It was the same thing , I'm dehydrated??? - So onto get the fancy water with electrolytes and ph balance and prunes. After more testes to make sure everything else was fine, except that I needed FODMAP guidelines way of tweaking it a bit to modify what to adjust and see what can be reintroduced into my diet. I want to regular again, and if this where it starts I will be happy to mark this one off my hit list of top 25. Countdown 24 I am coming for you!!!
Today is a new day full of possibilities

Have you been tested for food reactions?

Holy smokes were you a busy lady. I was too (not as busy as you though, lol) but I had many days during the week of running here and there and loved it. Now I am 90% house bound and understand how frustrating letting go of some of the "hats" can be. Good to read that you are taking electrolyte supplements. My Dr recommended LIQUID IV. Does not taste bad at all. i toodid the FODMAP diet and was switched over to a low histamine diet because of the bloating. My FUNCTIONAL MED Dr said that we have 70% of our MAST CELLS in our gut and they produce histamine. If COVID has caused GI issues then our GI system is responding to the food in our bodies as foreign and releasing histamine just like you were stung by a bee. Its interesting to read up on Mast Cell Activation Disorder. More and more literature is coming out on this as a potential issue with long haulers.
