I’ve had maybe one normal shit since getting COVID a year ago
Covid can infect the gut and stay there after it's cleared from the rest of the body, and/or disrupt its functionong and otherwise fuck up your gut microbiome. Research suggests this disruption might be causing a lot of long covid issues.
If you have a doctor talk to them first, but you might want to look into probiotics: https://www.healthline.com/health/covid-and-probiotics
Sigh
I’m a neuroscientist and at my last job I mostly did gut research. Also my mom has been a big advocate of probiotics for like, a decade.
Why did trying probiotics not click in my brain. Why am I this stupid?
Multiple ongoing pandemics, the crushing weight of capitalism, and the overwhelming responsibility of being ridiculously good looking?
I recently took 1 probiotic pill a day for like 60 days.
I don't think it made any difference. But maybe I needed 2 pills daily or a different probiotic or something.
Might want to try kefir, or probiotic juice.
I don't think increasing the dose would matter, but you might have needed to take it for longer. I had to go on probiotics once after a course of antibiotics and it was like 6 months of gradual improvement before I was back to normal.
all right, maybe I'll try it again, along with probiotic foods
