Summary
A person whose gut was "messed up" since COVID reported constipation severe enough to cause a blockage, then a further month of constipation afterwards. Eating extra fibre helped, but they still had constant abdominal pain and the odd sharp pain, and a colonoscopy was booked for November to look into it.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
