Stomach issues post covid

[Winealot]

I had covid about a month ago, felt terrible for 10 days and still really tired.
Had nausea and diarrhoea when I had covid and it took a few weeks to get my appetite back.
The last week I’ve had a crampy stomach, lots of trapped wind and now diarrhoea again…..I’ve read that you can suffer gastro symptoms after covid. Wonder if I should be taking a probiotic or something?
Thanks and sorry for the tmi!

Yes I have had stomach issues. If I eat or drink anything acidic I get really bad tummy pains... Not really sure what to do apart from avoid.....

Thanks for responding. I have also had a bit of an acid stomach alongside everything else!
I spoke to the pharmacist today, all he recommended was eating lots of fruit and veg…..the last thing I feel like!
Can I ask how long ago you had covid? Thanks

I tested positive two weeks ago and didn't have many symptoms, I felt mostly fine. But about a week later I started feeling really nauseous and lost my appetite a bit. It usually hits me in the afternoon. Not sure if it's related as I can't find many others with similar experience but it does seem like it could be. I also feel exhausted!

I've been burping loads since having covid. Very embarrassing!! Hoping it will right itself eventually!

Buy digestive enzymes plus acidophilus.

Yes, I had this. Vomiting so bad was admitted. Took about a month before the nausea settled.

I was prescribed Odansetron (sp?) OP.

I came out of isolation 6 weeks ago. I'm now eating lots of fruit and vegetables, cooking lots of healthy meals. Also i am starting goats kefir tomorrow, trying to build up my microbiome, so blue cheese, sourdough bread, pickled cornicions, greek yogurt, fruit etc etc etc Hoping I will see a difference in a few days. I must admit I was eating badly during Covid and after but I'm kicking myself into action now. How long ago did you have it?

Buy digestive enzymes plus acidophilus.

take this every day and hasn't made any difference :(

@Livvygator

Out of isolation on 17th September, so early days really. I probably do need to start eating better again, I hardly ate for a week or so when I felt really bad and could only stomach white toast, crisps etc.
I still don’t fancy a lot of things I normally eat.
And when you’ve got a bubbling upset stomach, the last thing you want is fruit and veg in abundance! Thank you for the advice

Livvygator is the brand Solgar for digestive enzymes as they are a good brand. For acidophilus take twice daily. I havent had covid but after antibiotics my stomach played up a few months ago. For acidophilus I use Holland n Barrett. The tasty strawberry ones.

ok I will try this thank you xx

Just wanted to ask if people have found something that helped/if symptoms resolved themselves as I’m having similar issues a couple of weeks post covid and youngest child is also complaining of a sore tummy

Me too - I put up with it for about a month and then got some antacids prescribed by gp. They wanted a stool sample before I started them. They have helped in that the discomfort isn't there every day. But I still can't tolerate red wine etc.... I'm also on probiotic drink each day. Hope you feel better soon. I've been interested to find out if others had this.

I also had nausea and vomiting. I just read about the results of this trial yesterday phyto-v.com/ Basically a certain combination of supplements - probiotics plus phytochemicals (plant extracts) can really help covid recovery. You can now buy the supplements used in the trial
