Has anyone experienced Covid Gut? What helps?

Hi , I had gerd like symptoms from day one of omicron. It wasn’t typical heartburn where you feel the burn. Mine was like a chest tightness goin up my throat. I never had a lung issue( no cough) with covid and my heart is fine.I read about a clinical study which I did on my own it was 240 mg of famoddine( rx for pepcid)
80 mg 3 times a day for 14 days felt relief in 2 day. When I stopped I came back but it’s not as bad and I cut the dose
Down to 160 a day and add in a prontix ant- acid.some days are better than others .it might have to do with your vargus nerve or gut to brain
interaction. Good luck and feel better

Very interesting. I don't have typical GERD presentation either. Mine is more so confined to my throat where it feels like a burning sensation. I also had that chest tightness you mentioned over the summer, but that symptom has gone down quite a bit to almost not at all. Oddly though, when I got scanned, everything looked a-okay. When I got scoped, it all came back normal and negative for anything and everything so the doctor recommended that I stop using the PPI in the absence of clinical pathology. I might try going back on Amitryptaline to see if it can help correct any sort of nerve misfiring between the brain and gut, however I don't meet the IBS criteria (no pain) although my stools have been insanely off. If you figure out anything that helps you that is natural, I'm all ears, and best of luck to you in your healing sooner rather than later.

I was actually taking 40 mg pepcid twice a day it helped. Don’t take it often now with the double probiotic and prebiotic with inulin to help balance gut flora.
