Summary
They had gut symptoms after COVID: stool was light brown-yellow, flaky or mushy, though not horribly debilitating, and they could eat most things. They drank ginger tea, took 125 mg magnesium citrate and ate yogurt daily, while regular probiotic supplements made them sick. They hoped time would fix their microbiome.
