Summary
Ocean 59130 said in May 2024 that they and their boyfriend had what they believed were long Covid intestinal issues. Ocean 59130 had abnormal bloating and right-sided lower abdominal pain. During a week-long lemonade fast, they started feeling better on the fifth day after taking a natural laxative, but the problems returned once it ended. They then kept meals small and simple, added kefir, avoided high-FODMAP foods and said their mood got fragile when the pain was bad.
