I had a mild case of Covid in January 2022. I noticed in March and April that I was starting to have a lot of diarrhea. I thought it was my diabetes medicine so the doctor changed my medicine over the last 8 months my symptoms have worsened to the extent that I ended up in the ER in December after vomiting all day and the doc made me feel like it was all in my head. I usually have diarrhea every day and for a while was vomiting tow or three times a week. I’m going to a GI doctor since October and have had a CT, Ultrasound, endoscopy, and colonoscopy. They took eleven biopsies and all that came back it inflammation of the esophagus. They scheduled me for an MRI and are doing pancreatic labs on me next week. They have me Xifaxen 3 times a day which seems to be helping. But really want to find a specific answer. Having this a trying to work at the same time has been very tricky and trying. Thanks for listening!

Has anyone suggested a steroid, for the inflammation, or Paxlovid, for the possibility of pockets of Covid virus in the intestine? Someone even recommended I start with a rigorous course of ibuprofen. I am dealing with the same issue without the pre-existing conditions. So sorry you, too, are going through this.
