Gastroenteritis poo - how long to recover?

[Mackied]

I think I've had gastroenteritis. The dr reckons it's led to post infective IBS. I think I had Covid that started it.

My poos are like yellow liquid at the mo. Tried live yoghurt today.

What is gastroenteritis. poo like? How long did you have it for? What helped?

Take lots of fermented foods and probiotics to get gut health back. Vivomixx is very good.

Thanks for sharing what worked for you.

I’ve had at least IBS 2 flare ups after Covid at the end of June.

I’ve tried to cut down on sugary foods, alcohol and started taking Kefir which I found very helpful.

I’ve found that trying to eat as healthy as possible has helped somewhat.

With Covid (3rd infection) it affected my gut right from the off and I’m still recovering now and crossing my fingers I’m through the worst of it.

I also take probiotics.

Thanks so much. That's very helpful. I'm glad things are getting better for you.
