Summary
After an infection, the person said their symptoms began about one to two months later, though long COVID had not been officially diagnosed. They described constant bloating, being unable to eat or enjoy anything, and PVCs. After a course of Rifaximin, given because a doctor thought they had IBS, their symptoms became much, much worse.
