Has anyone experienced Covid Gut? What helps?

Same boat.
I had covid over Xmas. Months later, I’m now dealing w stomach issues of loss of appetite,rolling stomach EVERY DAY. I’m a male, weigh 190, earlier I lost 10 lbs!
That’s not good. I also may have had BRAIN FOG. I’m almost 60, and for a week or two thought I was starting dementia (?).
AND… lost my sense of smell to almost everything. But if they fix my stomach, I would be happy.
Just had blood work, stool sample…everything perfect.
Bleh…..so frustrating
***My symptoms also started 1 day after booster shot.
My wife believes this could all be in my head, lol.
Considering hypnosis, has anyone tried that?

Not in your head. Gut syndrome is real. It is in your gut.
wow my story is almost the same!
I had 2 covid vacs then a Dec 1, 2021 booster (I think it caused this) !!!
Got covid over 2021 Xmas, now have nausea & cramps non-stop ever since.
The only Rx that helps (10-15%) is Ativan...enough to let me sleep at night.
Ive been with the Mayo post covid group since spring.......no help so far, but I am hopeful.
I also asked Mayo about hypnosis, but Mayo does not do hypnosis.
They referred me to a website, Psychology today.com. Have not called them yet.
Please let me know of anything else that may help.
Hi. I've had severe back pain, rib cage pain, and neck pain since day after booster. Gets better then worse for 2 years. Told it's coincidence. Is the vaccine fighting something people naturally have in their body. A diary of food has helped a lifetime of migraines. But migraines were 95 0/0 cured when a upper tooth with a botched infected tooth was removed after 25+ years.
AND my long distance vision was restored to perfect. Another coincidence. Possibly a food diary might help. Maybe look for a local long covid study in your area. Sorry, trying to help, not vent. Believe your body. Question? What is rolling stomach?
Thank you for posting. Important! Good luck.
Seems not many docs at this point can figure out what has happened to the immune system from Covid. I got covid in 2021, and was not doing too bad with the muscle pain and pneumonia, but in Jan 2023 got something, not sure covid, and now my body is messed up. My gut health not well, lost over 20 pounds out of the blue, and took an antibiotic for what my doc thought sinus infection, and I ended up with Cdiff still fighthing. Covid makes it hard to fight anything. My blood tests are fine, and endo fine. Not sure how doctor's can get to the point where they know what to look for issues in the body if you had covid. I hope I can get through all this and hope everyone can overcome frustration as well. Make sure your docs run Cytokine marker tests as well. If anyone can come with a good way to actually heal the gut with the correct foods, feel free to post. Not sure if probiotic pills actually get through the stomach.

I sooo understand your gut issues! I had covid in Jan for 2 wks and then a very, very short, mild case July 4th. My gut issues started after the 4th....had many stool samples checked for various possibilities, bloodwork ups, and abdominal ct scan with dye contrast....NOTHING.
(I have all my vaxxes and boosts)
What I am currently doing is taking a quality probiotic, watching diet for what may make things worse and taking miralax as needed....constipation seems to be an ongoing issue.
