Welcome, @ansimp231. You must be so worried about your young daughter. @jlsn1016 and @smtoia have also mentioned gluten sensitivity and going gluten and dairy free.
Dr. Van, post COVID specialist, Mayo Clinic wrote this blog post and GI issues and COVID:
– A Gut Feeling: Long COVID and GI symptoms https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/post-covid-recovery/newsfeed-post/a-gut-feeling-long-covid-and-gi-symptoms/
Wait times are long everywhere for every specialty. I hope she gets to see a GI specialist soon!

I developed gluten intolerance when I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 1984. Over time, I seemed to improve was able to tolerate limited gluten in foods until I got Covid twice in 2022-23. Everything was bad again. My ND told me about 00 soft wheat flour made in Italy and I don't react to that. I have also discovered that drinking 1/4 cup of organic aloe juice every day has been a huge help for stomach problems. The flour and the aloe are available on Amazon.

I hope all of her symptoms resolve along with the Covid recovery. In the meantime, cutting lactose and gluten out is the way to go.
When you get to the specialist, then you will get confirmation of what it is.
If you are in Canada, the Celiac Association is a great resource.
All the best.
