Summary
A long-COVID forum user described gut problems starting around COVID: GERD, trapped gas, foamy burps, food sensitivities causing a cough, diarrhoea and panic attacks tied to gut health. Blood and H. pylori tests were normal. Goldenseal extract, probiotic gummies and bottled water helped, but they said they were only slightly better, still managing symptoms and planning a low-sugar diet.
