Covid Recovery: How can I manage GI issues?

Hi, I don't know what to do with my problem. I worked in a family medicine practice that didn't believe in covid and urged no vaccinations and didn't require masks for patients, sick or healthy; we were yelled at daily for wearing masks, I was told I was going to die of cancer for getting vaccinated. The quitting point was when the doctors wife tried to report my daughter to child services for breastfeeding my granddaughter after getting vaccinated since she was poisoning her. We all got sick with classic covid symptoms in Dec of 2019, I have been told I've had it since then dx'd by symptoms.. we were strongly urged not to get tested due to contact tracing (sorry I needed my job). I got vaccinated, Pfizer in Feb, March 2021, boosted in Oct 2021 and June 2022. Since summer of 2021 I have noticed food tastes and smells rancid, nothing tastes good, I live on yogurt, lima beans, ham and peas. I used to love everything, the most nonpicky eater there ever was. I have lost 40 pounds in a year, it seems to go in waves of days where I can't eat, no appetite, everything tastes horrible. Then symptoms seem to get better and I can tolerate more. My doctor thinks it may be vaccine related and wants me to follow up with gastro and infectious disease. Unfortunately I have a high deductible plan and everyone wants full payment upfront for any testing which I can't afford. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am going to brave Ensure which makes me gag just thinking about it.

Ensure saved my husbands life! He was in the hospital a total of about 16 weeks and lost 80 pounds. I literally took a mini fridge to the hospital and filled with Ensure and yogurt. We’ve been to multiple doctors after his release to no avail. He’s dealing with terrible stomach cramps now and his throat swelling. Read through the comments here and you will see not many doctors are able to help. Everyone seems to be dealing with similar issues. There are some suggestions throughout this group that we are now trying. We do have a cardiologist, a pulmonologist and a GP but none really know at this point about long haulers. It’s just too soon.

Parasites? Mayo rejects colloidal silver therapy, but I have primary and secondary immune suppression plus autoimmunities, newly active since Moderna One vax. I had infections everywhere post vax, kidney, bladder, UTI, ear. sinus, etc and friend recommended CS. It probably saved my life. Continuing the story: about infected stomach abdomen. Slow, slow retreat of infections and visible parasites in my urine for weeks. I joined a CS group on Facebook, and many people have been helped. I don't know if CS is for you, but I had terrible stomach-abdominal-genital pain that many different antibiotics including IV did not help. If nothing else works.....???
