I’ve had GI issues for past 16 months. It’s since caused gastroparesis & now IBS. I’ve been to ER 3 diff times!! Functional DR has been helping to get rid of parasites, bacteria, & virus. But now, I’ve developed periodic sharp pain in both legs. From what I’ve researched…this too can be a side effect of Long-Haul Covid! Are there any studies going on? or…DRs who are treating these specific Covid related issues. I had to tell my MD/GI doctor 4 months ago what I thought I had! He had been being treated me for food poisoning all of this time! The functional doctor is who first felt it could be from Covid…I just want to get well & make sure no further permanent damage is involved!

I also started having GI issues that no one could find a cause for. Initially extreme naseau that ended me in the hospital to check for heart problems. Then several months later extreme heartburn. Endoscopy found no problems. Medication from the doctor helps but is not curing it. I will bring this Mayo info to my doctor next time see her.
