11. He need s a referral to a GI doctor pronto

I'm not surprised he's miserable and wasting away on that diet. It's Draconian.

The Mayo Clinic has a good discussion of gastroparesis with recommended and discouraged foods, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gastroparesis/symptoms-causes/syc-20355787 I suggest this because it might take a little time for him to get in to see a GI doc for a workup, which is something he desperately needs.

It might be totally unrelated to the vaccine, but whatever caused it, it can be treated. He just needs to see the right kind of doctor.
