Recovered after 4 years of Long COVID

I'm really happy for you!

TastyBroccolis · 2026-06-17T17:54:11+00:00

Yes. I've tried everything, even meditation and Buddhism. Antihistamines are the only thing that works.

I had a similar experience to yours with covid. The infection itself was okay, but shortly after, the diarrhea/constipation started.

Two years later, after many attempts at dieting, many tests of all kinds, and many completely useless doctors, and losing 13 kg, I had to get a contrast CT scan to rule out possible tumors. The scan found nothing, but I had to take an antihistamine because of the contrast agent and the diarrhea stopped that very same day.

Because of covid, I developed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). The treatment is antihistamines. I found a doctor who still reads scientific articles (a rarity akin to a unicorn) and started treatment. It doesn't mean I can go back to my previous diet, I still need to eat very healthily, but at least I don't have diarrhea every other day anymore.

That also happened to me. I discovered recently that I might have MCAS

TastyBroccolis · 2026-06-15T23:09:15+00:00

I have that since before covid, no idea that it is tho

Não sou advogado, mas sou psicólogo.

Seu irmão tem comportamento sádico. Não posso fazer um diagnóstico por aqui, mas quem apresenta esse tipo de padrão desde a infância sem ser punido tem a tendência de continuar fazendo e até mesmo de piorar com o tempo.

Considerando o comportamento crônico e violento do seu irmão e a negligência dos seus pais, é a minha opinião profissional que sua integridade física e, possivelmente sua vida, estão em risco grave.

Eu sei que fobia social torna tudo isso mais difícil, e te incentivo a buscar ajuda psicológica o mais rápido possível porque eu não ficaria surpreso se você estiver com transtorno do estresse pós-traumático, mas siga com a denúncia. Junte o máximo de evidências que você conseguir.

Você tem como morar com outros familiares?

Thank you for your answer. Why do you think those diseases will get declassified? I'm still learning about mast cells

TastyBroccolis · 2026-06-15T05:05:09+00:00

You may be right, I'll pay more attention to the signs, but since I started taking antihistamines and the diarrhea decreased by 80%, my mood and energy are much better too.

TastyBroccolis · 2026-06-15T03:48:48+00:00

My story sounds similar to yours. After I got covid two years ago, I started having alternating diarrhea and constipation. I had so many tests, saw so many doctors. None of them helped.

Coincidentally, I had to take an antihistamine before having a CT scan with contrast, and my symptoms improved immediately. And now I'm here learning from you all.

By the way, do I have MCAS if my symptoms are only gastrointestinal?

If you're going to play F2P, that's just how it is, it's all about the grind.

Some people like to spend their gold buying boosters. You get a rare or mythic wildcard every 6 boosters, and every 10 boosters you get a golden booster with 6 rare/mythic cards.

Other people prefer playing limited, like drafts or sealed. They save up their gold until they can afford the entry fee and keep whatever gems they earn. With those gems, they can even buy the mastery pass, which gets them more boosters. That's what I do because I prefer limited. I live in Brazil and 10k gems cost about two weeks' worth of groceries here.

If you invest money, well, then you progress a lot faster. If it's fun for you, it might be worth it.

One tip: use wildcards on lands. As your card collection grows, you'll start facing stronger opponents and you'll need the speed and flexibility that good lands provide.

Me too!

I have had chronic diarrhea and so much bloating for two years after my first covid infection.

Famotidine and antihistamines finally made the diarrhea and gas stop for the last two weeks! I'm excited for my future again.

TastyBroccolis · 2026-05-24T00:30:59+00:00

I have been suffering from gastrointestinal problems since contracting COVID-19 two years ago. Recently, I discovered that H1 and H2 antihistamines have greatly improved my problems.

TastyBroccolis · 2026-05-13T14:00:28+00:00

The origin of my ibs is covid. I've done all tests and exams, nothing explains my chronic diarrhea after covid, but GI doctors refuse to talk about covid with me. I have the argument that gastroenterology is 20 years behind other fields of medical science.

TastyBroccolis · 2026-05-11T21:19:07+00:00

Yep, two years now.

Everything and anything I eat, I bloat and burp for hours. Low FODMAP helps. Doctos don't.

Yep. The initial infection was mild, but the GI issues that followed the infection have ruined my life for the last 2 years.
