any other symptoms you experience:
You probably won't, or at least not any sooner than the tens of millions of other long-haulers (I see plenty of them on reddit 2 years in).
Did you have any lung involvement? Did you need oxygen, and was your spO2 ever consistently low?
I have been reading and asking a lot of people about this and it seems to me (this is very spurious) that digestive issues are more common in people from Southeast Asia or India. This is curious because in bats themselves, the virus seems to be mostly gastrointestinal--meaning that South Eurasian people are more "bat-like" and maybe have some kind of innate tolerance to this, probably due to their evolutionary proximity to bat populations.
These people are also less likely to lose their sense of smell (see pic, it doesn't show those areas but w/e).
Taken together, this feels like some sort of "lung-smell complex" where smell symptoms are indicative of respiratory pathology. Y'know, because the nose is directly connected to the lungs. This would also suggest that Southern peoples may test negative more often than Europeans. Do you know what your history of COVID PCR test results were?
