Summary
Posting in a long-COVID forum in 2022, this user said COVID had worsened long-standing IBS, and reported tightness on the left side with headaches; a myotherapist said both sides were tight. One myotherapy session reduced the headaches, though the tightness crept back within three days and another session was planned. The probiotic BB536 helped them, though they didn't have major stomach issues, and a vegan ketogenic diet had also been tried.
