Summary
A Reddit user about a year into long COVID described anxiety, repetitive useless thoughts and serious gut problems, alongside the aftermath of a benzodiazepine taper. They ate anti-inflammatory foods and avoided gluten, milk, corn, sugar and processed food, and used meditation and cold showers. Homemade sauerkraut, they said, helped digestion and resolved their serious gut issues.
