I had a terrible reaction to my 2nd shot and a week later (in a few hours) still dealing with headache,
stomach pain/discomfort, occasional lightheadedness and fatigue. For a year now I've been on an elimination diet to remove problem foods and attempting to heal my gut, and have successfully reintroduced many foods. Because of the lingering stomach issues, I'm now starting to wonder if this vaccine has possibly affected my gut microbiome, which I have so carefully being trying to heal?
Shingrix - Shingrix affect gut microbiome?

It wouldn’t surprise me. My 2nd dose of Shingrix was awful and after shivering all night I had a high pitched hissing in both ears the very next morning which has not gone away in 4 months. Doctors say I have hearing loss and have no answers but one said possibly it was an auto immune or inflammatory reaction to the vaccine. I had no ear or hearing issues before the vaccine. This vaccine is rough as far as adverse reactions and side effects go. Has anyone else had an effect like this? I hope your stomach heals soon.
