Covid Recovery: How can I manage GI issues?

It is hard to know what is a trigger. If sugar seems to be your trigger,
avoid it in excess amounts. I still consume Activia, and if I do not eat
it twice daily, I get mild gi bloating, cramping, lightening-like pains in
my gut. But nothing like the first 6 weeks. I just feel the spike protein
is still cycling, periodically.
Don't overeat. Eat 6 small meals. Lots of water, again in small, steady
amounts. Get your rest. Keep exercising, at least 30 min a day. Just
treat your body kindly. It will heal.

That's a great response.
I have GI issue since Covid. I had a similar issue that flares my gut 10 years ago and it took a couple of years to regain balance.
What I noticed though was that one sure thing that worsens all issues is Anxiety. Once we start to over focus on a symptom it seems to get worse.
Acceptance was big step for me once I accepted I had an issue I couldn't THINK my way out of the my overall symptoms decreased. I still had flair ups with stress and the odd thing dietry but over all much better.
I intend to do the same with this. I will follow a good diet also until I get some balance back.
But for me reducing anxiety is a must.
