Summary
Beacon 20988 has long COVID, and after each COVID infection had a UTI and yeast overgrowth. A 10-day course of antibiotics for candida, plus a 7-day course for a UTI, cleared the overgrowth but made their long COVID worse and triggered MCAS symptoms. They got through the reaction with allergy medication, and said drinking a lot of fluids helped most, while mentioning mint tea, garlic, vitamins and probiotics as natural antibacterial options.
