Is it a symptom? Ive had a sore stomach for about 2 weeks. Put it down to stress with everything going on. Today and yesterday its got much sorer and I stupidly Googled my symptoms and its came up with mainly IBS and gallbladder issues but I've also just found an article relating to COVID so now of course I'm freaking out.

It can be a symptom but it would usually be with other symptoms too.
It's more likely to be IBS or stress related.

Thankfully no other symptoms. I'm turning into a hypochondriac!

I’ve had stomach ache on and off all week, started with a cough yesterday afternoon, followed by a fever today. I’m treating it as a covid but obviously can’t be 100% sure, no idea if the stomach ache was related either tbh.

Could it just be the change in diet combined with a change in exercise and is all being stressed out our heads? I doubt it’s Covid19 if you’ve had it two weeks and no other symptoms. Are your bowels ok? Perhaps you just need to increase the fibre you are eating or avoid things that could be causing ibs?

Elieza now ive calmed down a bit after all my googling I do think its stress related. I'm off for 4 days so I'll see if things calm down over the next few days. Now you mention diet though my work are giving us free lunches and breakfasts. I've maybe eaten too many hash browns and tatties scones!!

Yum, you’re making me hungry! Haven’t had a tattie scone in ages. Or a fry up come to think of it.
Might buy some next time it’s shopping day!

I hadn't either until work started the free breakfasts! Need to remember they are also offering cereal!
