Long COVID and gluten sensitivity

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.

I started taking famotidine about 6 months ago and found it helps immensely with stomach issue. I started with 10 mg at bedtime, but found the best relief is to daily take at least 20 mg in the morning and then another 20 mg again before dinner. Seems to me my lingering long covid symptoms have to do with my autoimmune system constantly being triggered by possible allergens. The famotidine seems to help quell the automatic cytokines. I've also changed most of my gluten items to sourdough ones and that too seems to help.
