Mean (±SD) total and subscale scores of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) before isolation (Pre), during isolation (T1 = February, T2 = June, T3 = October), and 6 months post-isolation (Follow-up, T4). Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher values indicating greater symptom severity. Statistical significance was assessed using repeated measures analysis with false discovery rate (FDR) correction. Pairwise comparisons between time periods were Bonferroni-adjusted. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05, with significant effects indicated by an asterisk (*).
