Summary
After COVID-19 the user's sense of smell and taste got gradually better and then a lot better about a year after their last infection. They credited addressing gut issues with strong probiotics, the right fibres at the right doses, and stool pH testing to keep the gut acidic. They also cautioned that stomach acid tablets can cause damage if not used carefully.
