Hello Everyone, just want to know if anyone experiencing IBS kinda symptoms? I got covid 2 months ago, 1st week was okay, some mild symptoms - cold, cough then there on for about 4 week, I had severe fatigue (only on sunday), then I took the booster shot (already got 2 vac shots earlier) and that week after a few days got should pain and then back pain. All this time i was taking a lot of cold, cough, and pain killers. In January at some point, i saw blood on my toilet paper but it happened only once and never happened after that but I felt i was having hard stools. A few weeks ago, got frequent urination, took antibiotics, had kidney, bladder ultrasound done - all came negative. that same week started having bowel issue. Constipation (hard stools), bloating, gas. Took Colace and Metamucil - no improvement. Stopped Metamucil and had 3 tablets of Colace (along with fiber via salads) and after 3 day i got stools but flat stools. I don't no what's going on with my health. Do you think its IBS caused by covid? Anybody experienced these symptoms. I appreciate you response. Thanks.

      hi, Vijay. I developed IBS post my first covishield shot like less than a month i had bad pain in my belly all the time finally decided to see a GP and he said it's IBS. My left side abdomen hurts like hell and its going to be an year. My life changed 360, i wish i hadn't taken the shot. Only meditation has been helpful, i avoid spicy things. Only home made food.
