Its “causation” has not been established yet. Covid has been recovered in stools.
I hope you are recovering well from COVID. Yes, COVID does cause diarrhea in many people. As you recover, the diarrhea should pass. Taking pepto bismol for a few days should help. Pepto will turn the stool black, so do not panic if the stool is dark or black!
It can, yes.
Yes, Covid can cause GI symptoms including diarrhea, though GI is not the major affected organ system in most cases.
