Thank you very much for your reply. You may be right about eating before the dose even though the directions say it doesn't matter. I have had no appetite so only been eating saltine crackers, which you also mentioned about gluten. Did your stomach settle after a few days?

Thank you for being so thoughtful. Stay healthy.

Yes it did settle. Covid rips through the gut so I think it could really be Covid vs paxlovid regarding stomach pains. My kids all had stomach pains with Covid and my husband. None took paxlovid. Also Covid doesn’t feel bad at first. Then it kicks in. I’m thankful for paxlovid. It kept me out of serious issues and staying overnight in hospital. Despite the taste, I’d take again. And now drs can prescribe more often to do extended timeframe (10 vs 5 days), so the rebound shouldn’t happen that made the news in May. Of course, consult with dr if you can.
