“Is stomach pain after COVID normal?”
I had a COVID infection 2 weeks ago. After that, I get stomach pain almost every day.

Yes.
COVID-19 definitely causes GI distress -- usually described as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, but I would think that continued abdominal pain would not be unexpected. However, there are other considerations, including ulcer disease (did you take a lot of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, e.g., ibuprofen, during the acute part of your illness), or there may be something totally unrelated, eg appendicitis. Probably best to see your doctor.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Around 30% of covid cases experience GI symptoms. If the pains do not improve over time, then see a PCP or GI doc.
