I’d definitely  talk to your GI doc about it.  They could probably get you some antibiotics or something to help address pouch impact from Covid.  Thanks for posting about it though, it’s good to hear some real world experience with Covid and pouches.

If I can ask, were you vaccinated and boosted?  I’m just curious from an intensity of disease perspective…whether there was mitigating factors or not from vaccination that might have caused less impact.

Last advice would be watch your hydration…so easy to dehydrate with something like Covid.  I find that Liquid IV does a better job of keeping me “salted” than Gatorade.  If you’re feeling dehydrated at all, I’ve had luck with my clinic which has an infusion center- my GI has occasionally “prescribed” IV fluid through the center- it helps a lot and keeps me out of the ER.  If you have a similar resource it’s another idea for managing your Covid symptoms.
