Long COVID and gluten sensitivity

Hello to everyone. I got Covid for the first time on December 2022. Since then, my body hasn't been the same (I was a healthy woman, could eat anything I wanted, in good physical condition). I started with a series of dysautonomy symptoms, sinus tachycardia, anxiety and panic attacks, which have gotten better or disappeared. I started having IBS and gastritis since February 2023. After some tests, my treating physician told me I needed a cholecystectomy, which I got almost 4 weeks ago. But I still have IBS, bloating, diarrhea and dairy intolerance (I used to be lactose sensitive). It's been so hard feeling sick for all these months and going to so many doctors, without finding a solution. I have researched gluten sensitivity, since I have many related symptoms. About to start a gluten and dairy free diet to see if I feel better. If anyone has been through something similar, any comments/recommendations are welcome. Hope everyone in this group gets to feel better. Take care.

I got covid in June 2022. Among lots of symptoms I had bloating after eating. Because I had also developed lymphedema of the lower extremities, it was recommended that I follow the Lymphedema Diet. It is basically gluten free, sugar free, low carbs. As soon as I eliminated gluten, the bloating stopped. I had hoped to lose weight on this diet, but unfortunately my weight remained the same. I have continued the gluten free since it’s nice to be free of the bloating b
