Many of us associate Covid with respiratory issues. But some people who get sick with the virus never experience a sore throat, coughing or body aches, said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. Certain people end up feeling more like they have food poisoning than anything else.

In some people, gastrointestinal symptoms hit during the first few days of an infection, before they develop a fever and cough. But many people who only experience stomach symptoms “never think of it as Covid,” Dr. Chin-Hong said.

Shouldn't be a surprise given:
The gut microbiome, COVID-19, and long COVID [collection of studies]
 
Format correct?
  1. Yes
I've been hearing recently about people developing MCAS after covid or covid vaccination. Their symptoms include GI issues among many others. Is there any findings on FMT helping with MCAS?
