Covid-19 is a respiratory infection that affects all age groups, spread by the virus called “SARS-CoV2” (a member of the coronavirus family). During 2020-2022, it has become a pandemic, meaning that it has spread around the world, because it is highly contagious (catchy).

We all think of digestive health as just being related to how a child’s body absorbs nutrients, and their bowel movements. There is actually much more going on in between, and a lot of it is related to the activity of the immune system.

The immune system is like the police force of the body, attacking foreign factors that cause health problems, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and allergens.
