Summary
A 50-year-old man developed long COVID after a Covid infection in February 2022, with a long tail that continued for months. By June 2022 he said a pre/probiotic and gut-feeding regimen had slowly improved things, though he still fought flares quarterly. He later suspected Aleve was inflaming his gut symptoms; stopping it eased nearly all gut issues within hours.
