So interesting to read folks’ accounts of bowel issues after having had COVID.

I think I had a mild COVID case 4/2020. Low grade fever for 3 weeks, but no one was testing and primary not seeing patients at time. When I called, primary, was advised to take Tylenol, rest and get fluids.

Started having horrendous headaches around 5/2020. Saw neurologist 8/2020, who prescribed a whole host of drugs with no relief. Finally started taking Gabapentin 12/2020. Some relief.

Then, had full -blown COVID 12/2020. Tested + 12/8/2020. Down for a month.

Starting 4/2021, began to experience explosive diarrhea about every 3-4 days. No regular bowel movements since 4/2021 thru today, 9/2023. Gastro has no idea what’s going on.

It’s been horrible. I travel quite a bit and never know when the explosion will hit. The occurrence is now about every 2 days. Clock work. Never never had issues before 4/2021.

Going to be tested for bacteria and such late Oct 2023. Thinking about trying gluten free to see if that’s the issue (tho never had this issue before 4/21). Ugh.
