Summary
They say they have not been the same since a COVID vaccination. Their main problems are gut and oesophagus symptoms with constant spitting and mucus, plus high anxiety, low mood and obsessive ruminating, which they link to their gut. Testing cromolyn sodium in small doses seemed to reduce the gut symptoms, alongside supplements and a gluten-free, healthy diet. They have also tried heavy-metal and mould detox and hope to taper off cromolyn eventually.
