Nope, I was told to take diacalm

Have you tried cutting out certain foods? If it's intermittent it's probably an intolerance. Horrible not to feel safe bowel-wise when you're out and about.

The other thing to try is buscopan each day as directed on the packet. I find it helps a lot with my IBS upsets.

We used to give our dog Buscopan which made him burp. 

jaypo - have you reported on the yellow card system or looked at some of the long covid support group websites?

[jaypo]

Oh Taz don't get me started on intolerances,I've had all the tests and I've cut out wheat,which I have an allergy to but the Dr said gastric issues are now included with long Covid and I looked it up on NHS and sure enough,stomach cramps and diarrhoea,the virus can seep onto the gut lining,heyho the days just keep getting better 

[CLKD]

R the symptoms getting better though 

[jaypo]

Yes,thanks clkd but they last for weeks 

[Taz2]

What scans have you had? Did you have a full colonoscopy or just the sigmoidoscopy?

Soya is definitely my no-no.

Had a full colonoscopy and a ct colonography,just my diverticulitis showed up but it's definitely not that 
I also can't take anything tomatoey (is that a word ) get terrible reflux,I'll be left just eating carrots before long 

[CLKD]

Carrots = good for the teeth.  My dog ate several each day

Jaypo - might be worth doing Dr Kaufmann diet for a couple of weeks? In some ways you have nothing to lose.  It’s an acid reflux elimination diet - very effective at calming things down.  You don’t need to buy the book, just Google the list of foods you can and can’t eat. 
Hope you improve soon, Agatha C x

[jaypo]

Thank you AgathaC will have a look xx

DH keeps getting texts from the NHS about booking our boosters.  That is, texts every other day  another reason for not sharing mobile numbers!

Thus far I've had 2 letters telling me that I can now book - that's 1 every 6 days.  I could save the NHS a bunch of dollars  .

A friend has now tested positive for C-19 4 times in 9 months.  Surely by now his immune system should have kicked in  .  Others I know have had it as many times as 5-6 ......... starting with cold symptoms, dry throat, feeling off-colour. 

[Taz2]

The virus changes in subtle ways so the immune system doesn't recognise it next time round. This is interesting from the BMJ  about the different symptoms being experienced https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj.p3
