Summary
Acorn 78571 developed long COVID after a COVID infection and felt off for a year, with GI discomfort and kidney pain, having stopped their workout regimen. A month's course of lactobacillus probiotics with peppermint oil largely cleared their symptoms, and they stopped both without the discomfort returning. A COVID reinfection in early 2023 was treated with Paxlovid, and by late 2024 they said keto with intermittent fasting had worked wonders for them.
