Abstract

Gastroparesis has a wide range of etiologies including diabetes, medications, post-surgical, post-viral and idiopathic (1). SARS-CoV-2 can cause gastrointestinal symptoms which typically resolve within the first few weeks of infection (2). However, some sequelae persist beyond the initial infectious period.
