Summary
Caught COVID in mid-2022, two weeks into a new office job in Australia, after three Pfizer doses. A week of flu symptoms was followed by a month of moving stomach pain and low hunger, and they saw several doctors and had bloods, an ultrasound and a scan, all normal. Cutting out coffee, chocolate, sugary and fatty foods helped. By March 2023 their stool was mixed all week and they said COVID had triggered IBS.
