My own case is far less dramatic. However: I contracted COVID in November of last year at age 38. I am a non smoker, I exercise very regularly, and got 8 hours of sleep at night. I was on no medications for chronic conditions at that point. I took a vitamin D supplement. I was healthy. I had an infection that was miserable but not terrible; fevers, body aches all over, fatigue. I was sick for ten days. On day 8 I developed gastrointestinal symptoms. Nausea, intermittent vomiting, loss of appetite, early satiety (feeling full after having only a few bites of food). Abdominal cramps. I had NO GI conditions prior to my illness. I've lost ten pounds and I am now underweight. And you're going to claim that we don't know that COVID caused this? really? It's funny, because the gastroenterologist who evaluated me actually diagnosed me with post-viral gastroparesis secondary to COVID. My primary care physician who's known me for ten years and my boss (also a medical doctor) also concur with the diagnosis. But.....we don't know that it's from COVID. Sure
