Summary
A person in the UK developed daily gut symptoms — lower abdominal aching, loud gurgling and gas — after a COVID-19 infection around 2022, on top of lifelong IBS. Probiotics from a naturopath, betaine HCl and various diets brought no change. Tests showed dysbiosis, leaky gut, high Klebsiella and low Akkermansia, which doctors dismissed, and after three years they reported no improvement.
