It's my daughter that is having the stomach issue.  She did call her doctor and set up an appointment.

@marip @It's probably something else, but there's a slim possibility it's COVID-19. Chances are it's one of many other causes of stipomach pain. You didn't describe the pain.

@marip @marip @above are much more likely than COVID-19. There's even more causes than this list for stomach pain. COVID-19 is probably not the cause. Trapped wind, food poisoning, period pain, Norovirus, food allergy are just a few of the causes that aren't listed here. 

@marip it is possible that COVID causes only stomach pain but it's not very likely. The responders here are just guessing about this. I'm not guessing:

"A recent analysis of more than 200 people admitted to three hospitals in Hubei, China -- the province where the virus called SARS-CoV-2 originated -- with mild cases of COVID-19 found that almost 1 in 5 had at least one gastrointestinal symptom, such as diarrhea, vomiting, or belly pain. Nearly 80% also lacked an appetite.

Those symptoms can stem from other common causes, including stomach flu or food poisoning. But if you have COVID-19, GI problems may slow your recovery. And the digestive symptoms may worsen as you get sicker."

@marip @Here are many more of the reasons for abdominal pain. This is a very good chart to keep.
