an interestign articel that goes along with your article for the 2 amino acids, but also discusses why ‘long covid’ causes such exhaustion-
“The first change the researchers noted was abnormally low levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the cellular source of energy, likely due to mitochondrial dysfunction caused by the disease.
“Mitochondria are like the powerhouses of the cell, generating ATP, which is like a rechargeable battery that provides power to cells,” Elahi explains. “When those two are not working properly, it may explain why these patients are always tired—they simply don’t have enough energy to function and carry out their routine activities.””

Everyone I know that has/had Long Covid also had other self-diagnosed diseases.
I did find the following on l-serine which folks with ibd, colitis and crohn’s might want to avoid
“The gut microbiota is believed to play a critical role in inflammation in Crohn’s disease (CD). Adherent–invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) often colonize the intestinal mucosa of CD patients. AIEC colonization may promote intestinal inflammation in CD patients. We have found that AIEC prefers to use the amino acid L-serine for growth in the inflamed gut. As dietary proteins are a major source of L-serine in the gut lumen, withholding L-serine from the diet prevents the growth of AIEC in the gut of mice. These facts suggest that a diet deprived of L-serine may alleviate CD symptoms”
