Get free at-⁠home COVID-⁠19 tests

Be sure to get tested if you don’t feel well, even if your symptoms don’t seem to fit in with the typical COVID-19 symptoms.

In some people COVID-19 and its variants seem to be hitting the gut. Some people never lose their sense of taste and smell or have a sore throat, congestion or breathing issues. When GI disturbances occur, it could be due to a new COVID infection causing intestinal inflammation, triggered by mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), that leads to the overproduction of histamines. Talk to your doctor about symptom management for stomach issues, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, cramping, nausea and vomiting. H1 blockers (seasonal allergy medicines) & H2 blockers (such as famotidine or Pepcid) are often the treatment of choice in reducing COVID related inflammation.
