Summary
A Reddit user who had gut problems for some time, with slow motility, weight loss and constipation, took a supplement containing Bifidobacterium longum W11. Within a day they developed cold-like symptoms, a runny nose, sore throat and fever, and wondered whether the probiotic was letting COVID replicate. They described no change for the better and gave no account of their overall level of function.
