Norfolk #LongCovid sufferer feels a 'changed person' after taking new #probiotic treatment

April 19, 2022

"In the first study Prof Thomas showed treating the gut to a blend of five different friendly bacteria called #lactobacillus #probiotics, combined with a chicory-rich ingredient known as an #inulin, helped with symptoms.

"In a second study, he found that a capsule containing a mix of other natural substances known as phytochemicals can significantly help further.

"He said: 'In our research group we designed a study looking at whether we could concentrate certain foods which would help some of the symptoms of #Covid.

"'The reason we used a capsule is we are able to concentrate foods in a much greater degree than you'd be able to eat.

"'Also you can take them in the morning, at lunchtime and have the foods that you wouldn't normally in a British diet take at those times. So things like chamomile, pomegranate, #turmeric, citrus bioflavonoids which come from #berries and things.'"

1/2 - So, I've been treating my own #LongCovid with #TurmericMilk, #VitaminD3, and #probiotics from various food sources (some with #VitaminK2), and consumed with #fiber-rich #prebiotics. I noticed that in addition to an improvement in my symptoms, I noticed an improvement with my anxiety and depression. It seems science is catching up with what I surmised -- that Covid messes with one's microbiome, which in turn affects our brains and other systems!

A new possible explanation for long COVID could lead to a simple treatment for some patients

By Erin Prater, October 16, 2023

"While it might seem logical that neurologic long COVID symptoms like brain fog, memory loss, and depression are caused by the presence of virus in the brain, researchers in Pennsylvania propose a different theory: that virus lingering in the gut causes such symptoms in a round-about way.

It works like this: SARS-CoV-2 lingering in the gut causes persistent inflammation, which leads to reduced production of serotonin—a chemical that sends messages between the brain and other parts of the body. It also plays a key role in regulating sleep, mood, digestion, and blood clotting, among other bodily functions.

A lack of serotonin, in turn, disrupts connectivity between the peripheral nervous system and the brain, causing neurologic symptoms."

As somebody for whom anti-depressants never worked it's interesting to see the revised thinking towards SSRI's and seratonin.

The great serotonin debate: do depression treatments work by boosting the happy hormone?

Drugs targeting the ‘happy hormone’ are widely used for depression. But some question whether the condition is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain
