    fuck, I developed weird GI issues in 2020. No other symptoms though.

    I never had a symptomatic infection, so idk if it's because of COVID (an asymptomatic infection causing chronic symptoms?) or random aging related shit.

      That's the fun question we get to ask for the rest of our lives.rage-cry

      It's hard to say. My feeling is that asymptomatic infections are less likely to lead to long COVID, but is possible. It is worth considering other issues. Have you tried randomly cutting out various foods to see if that affects it? Like give up milk products, nuts, or gluten for a few days and see what comes up.

        it's still very possible to get long covid from an asymptomatic infection. any infection is going to be doing damage to anything in the body that uses blood whether you get acute symptoms or not

          You are right. With gi stuff, it is very worth checking for food intolerance too, tho.
