Sometimes, the initial Covid tests are negative but become positive once there is enough virus replicating. It is possible your initial GI symptoms were due to Covid or that you developed Covid after-no way to know for sure. So, drink lots of fluids, isolate for 5 days or until you feel better, whichever is longer. Let your doctor know so that you can receive treatment, if indicated. Feel better!
