IBS and Covid

Had Covid for the third time around 2 weeks ago and my IBS is pretty bad over the last few days.

This strain gave me different symptoms , got the sore throat and stomach issues . Anyone else found the same after a bout of Covid recently ?

Probably doesn’t help I’ve been taking lots of antibiotics since last year for sinus/ear infections.

Covid was possibly the cherry on the cake after a brutal cocktail of antibiotics. 😬

I had the same with my recent COVID spell. Had COVID a few times and I would say this strain is worse. Sore throat followed by severe constipation and tiredness that is debilitating. I was a complete zombie for 3 days. Can’t believe this thing is still with us after all this time.

I thought I was going mad. Yes when I’d had Covid previously I had gut symptoms towards the end of it, this time my gut was off during it and read that this latest strain digestive issues is a symptom, doesn’t help IBS sufferers one bit.

Never got the headache with this one either like i did previously.

Also didn’t get a sore throat like i did this time. I thought i had hay fever (which i get quite bad) with a change of weather.

I got it for a few day (probably 2) don’t think it matters how long tbh. Have you tested for Covid ?

I never got a sore throat with Covid previously .

It’s awful isn’t it.

I had some trouble after previous infections but this one is the worst.

How are you feeling now? Recovered I hope.

I’m still really suffering with the fatigue. Just can’t shift it. This strain has really taken it out of me. Updating this thread to see if there’s a pattern to this virus.
