← Return to Covid Recovery: How can I manage GI issues?

My 8 year old daughter had Covid in December. Since that time she has experienced extreme bloating every day. We tried dairy free and gluten free diets to see if that was the cause and it was not . We went to a pediatric GI where they did multiple X-rays, an ultrasound and endoscopy. Everything was normal. They told us at one point it was constipation and we did multiple cleanouts and rounds of miralax, however the problem persists. I am trying to figure out if this could be due to long term Covid and what else we can try to give her relief.

Read all the comments on this subject as something may work. Two weeks of Xifaxan followed by Pepcid worked for me but you need to consult your pediatric GI MD.

I think my distress was caused by covid in late January because the problems started in early February. I had a mild case of covid.
