Covid Recovery: How can I manage GI issues?

I’ve had similar issues for the past 17 months. I’ve had just about every test out there done to discover very little until…my GI doctor did a gastric emptying test & discovered I have gastroparesis. Simply stated…Covid caused some neuropathy in my stomach thus
making 25% of it not properly moving the food out of my stomach as it should. This has caused nausea, weight gain, dizziness, etc…I now have to eat smaller meals & easily digestible foods (no raw veggies, etc)… If nothing is found next week, ask her GI DR to consider this test…Having a diagnosis, although annoying & disappointing, still helps. Best of luck & please keep us posted

What the recovery time with that? I am having slow motility also and trying to fix.

Any special diet? I've seen the FODMAP one, and my daughter has a dairy allergy (which we've managed for 7-8 years), but now they're saying she has to cut out all dairy, even though it doesn't seem to make her stomach any worse. She already feels like crap and has trouble eating, I hate to take away all of the foods she loves.
