Summary

After a first COVID infection, this Reddit user developed severe heartburn, constant stomach pain, gurgling intestines and gas, on top of pre-existing GERD that had not bothered them. About eight or nine months later they felt almost perfect for two weeks, but a second COVID infection brought back the heartburn and stomach pain; they still had those symptoms when they posted.
