Long COVID and gluten sensitivity

I am a 75-year-old woman, so much older than your daughter. Nevertheless, I have had gluten sensitivity since having COVID five months ago. I first experienced the symptoms when I actually COVID. Two months later, I had the same symptoms and have had them repeatedly, whenever I eat foods such as pasta or regular bread. When I eat gluten-free, the symptoms do not occur. I am hoping this will fade over time, but do not know. Best wishes for your daughter’s health.

Having what seems to be Long COVID, I at 76 years, not only came down with sensitivity to wheat gluten, but to most every kind of grain, including rice, rice pasta, corn tortillas, and oatmeal (a favorite). When I get a craving for something close to a grain, I make a flat bread from garbanzo bean flour that goes down fairly well, provided I eat in small doses. Fortunately, I can eat beans and dairy, including cheese, without trouble. I also find that making salad dressings with oil and apple cider vinegar (preferably organic), or even just swallowing one T. of ACV with bit of water, can soothe the gut pain that comes with this troubling LC malady. Good luck to all concerned.
