Summary
Owl 73618 developed long COVID after a COVID-19 infection and was writing in August 2023, about five months after the infection. The long COVID symptom was brain fog, which was improving, and there was also post-infectious IBS that made eating the wrong food cause digestive chaos. Sticking to a low-FODMAP diet settled the gut, and being forced to eat healthily led to almost 30 pounds of weight loss in five months.
