Has anyone experienced Covid Gut? What helps?

tiredinvegas, COVID did a number to my gut & acid reflux. I had to bump up to 80 mg of Protonix and 1 Pepcid AC at night for back up reflux. It took about a year for this to calm down and now I am only on 20 mg of Protonix and 1 Pepcid AC at night.
I have lost weight and do not eat after 6:30 at night and that has helped. Head of bed is elevated. I also am taking a probiotic.
I take Linzess 72 mcg for IBS-C at night and it works wonderfully.
Praying for you and wish you the best with all of this.

I'm on 40mg Esomaprazole + 20mg Pepcid at night. My doc has prescribed Linzess 145. Tried that and it constipated me further (vs the intended opposite) so I stopped after 3 days. How has it helped you? Maybe it's dosage for me?

Thank you for your prayers and I wish you the best as well.
I just had a consult with a specialist from 2nd MD on Friday and she agreed with my gastroenterologist’s current plan but did suggest that I add Pepcid and Zyrtec daily to my current regimen. Glad to hear the Pepcid seemed to help for you.
Thanks for the reply!
