Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers reported heart rate increases and anxiety that were worse after eating junk food. A GI Map showed high gut inflammation, and switching to a plant-based diet made the heart rate increases less pronounced. They still relapsed with a racing heart and awful anxiety after junk food, and were considering Rifaximin for suspected SIBO.
