Covid Recovery: How can I manage GI issues?

Same, but mine have been going on for 2 years. Dr thought it was Appendix, removed May 2020. No relief. Removed Gal Bladder Jan 2021. No relief.
The only relief I can find it a strain of marijuana that keeps the nausea at bay.
It is so weird. It is like sometimes I am hungry, but my body is revolted by the thought of food. I have pains in my upper left abdomen. If I do not have 4 to 8 bowels movements per day, it is none for 4 to 5 days.
I AM MISERABLE

I am so sorry. I had Covid nearly 3 years ago and have been totally disabled since, mostly GI issues and for two years I went to a ton of doctors and had every GI test possible, nothing. I take really good digestive enzymes, lot's of pre- and probiotics, nutritional drinks since I can't eat and lost 30 pounds. NO sugar, that is for sure. For the ever so painful abdominal cramps I take Hyoscyamine and that helps some. The most helpful thing I found is Iberogast, a mixture of 9 herbs proven to help with IBS. Have that upper left abdominal pain, too. Turns out my gallbladder is super overactive, but they say the pain will not go away if I take it out.
I found that Sativa Cannabis helps me the most, but I cough so very much so I can't smoke everyday.
I am so sorry you are going thru all that, I know how very hard it is.

You might research Dr. Marcus Ettinger, Orange, CA, who takes on patients without answers to horrible gut problems. I am sorry for your suffering you hope you find healing soon.
