In their words
- Now: Somewhat better
my constipation issues went from a 10/10 to a 4/10 ... As for the bacterial overgrowth issues, I'm still struggling with that
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I’ve experienced exactly what you’re describing
Summary
Gut problems went on for a good 2-3 years: constipation with a bowel movement only every 4-5 days, sometimes 7-10 days and only with an enema, plus bacterial overgrowth. After two 60-minute craniosacral therapy sessions and vagus nerve exercises twice daily for about a month, constipation eased from 10/10 to 4/10. The overgrowth was still troubling them at the time of that post.

If it’s placebo, then it’s the strongest one I’ve come across.

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.
