Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of flatulence, abdominal distension, swelling, chills, pyrexia, pain, joint swelling.  Additional Information: Dose Received:1, dose number=1. No other vaccine in four weeks. The shot was a booster for her previous J&J shot. About 36 hours after the shot she began getting severe abdominal cramping, gas and bloating with absolutely everything she ate. Dairy and any type of green chiles were the worst causing horrible smelling flatulence, she NEVER had any kind of dairy allergy or intolerance to spicy food (Thai, New Mexican, Indian, etc). It is 22Jan2022 and she was still having some cramping and swelling under her rib cage but it was getting milder. She felt like the booster threw off her gut flora. She also had the common side effects of chills, fever (99-100), aching, etc along with a pretty bad autoimmune flare-up. The joints on the injection side are still a bit swollen but this should resolve when she start Cosentyx on 27Jan2022. No covid prior vaccination and no covid tested post vaccination.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
