Thank you!
Thank u… everything we already knew!!! Onto the next video! 😵💫😵💫
Brilliant, thanks.
Had me stopped up for a few days. When that thing finally came out of me, it nearly raised me off the toilet. It was so big, I almost took a picture 😊😁
😂😂😂😂 Same here! Just flush as soon as it lands.
Lmao.
I had a visit to the ER today because of Constipation…I don’t ever want to go thru that torture again.
I’ve gone for having constant diarrhoea and going 7-10 times a day to the complete opposite - it’s nice that i can work now and not have to constantly worry about where the next toilet is - my issue at the minute is gas and constipation
Im gonna try your tips and hopefully will see a difference
How long did it take for the diarrhea to stop? I am on the 4th dose, going into the 5th week, I pushed the last dose out to 10 days to see if it might help...it didn't!! I'm wondering if there's a way to stop it. I only get it when I eat or drink anything other than water 😑, and sometimes with water if I drink too much water after an hour or 2 after eating something! I tried a tsp of Metamucil to maybe soak up the extra liquid, but then it feels like a fist is moving through my stomach 😭. Maybe I'll try half a tsp. But I'm not sure if it's the food that's causing it or maybe my serving sizes. Anything I eat seems to cause it.
I'm having the same issue!
@@JennK-js5ke hello, I have an update. I found certain foods cause it, but it seems the portion sizes causes it also. When I eat smaller frequent meals, my stomach grumbles A LOT still, but I don't have loose bowels afterwards. I think when you overeat, insulin or the medicine overcomensates to try to flush it out, because the medicine is designed to keep you from absorbing too much glucose. So the larger the portion size, the more insulin you need to take care of the food. So it confuses the body and BOOM liquid stools & bile trying to flush it out. So smaller portions help, but it can be hard if you haven't reached the full appetite suppressant effect. So just try to be as mindful as possible. I notice pure carbs make me hungrier and I never really feel full, so I subconsciously overeat! So I have to stick to mostly protein, veg, and a small complex carbs at best. When I do, I get full quick and eat less easier, than if I had any type of ultra processed foods, pure carbs, or desserts as my meal or snacks. Even if I sneak in a small portion.
When the food is bland I'm fine LOL. But any kind of ultra processed food, too much fat, oils, dairy, pork, beef, more than 1 serving of sauce or dressing it's loose stools, except cereal. For some reason cereal doesn't bother me, but it constipates me real bad, maybe due to the lack of fiber, which sounds good in comparison to loose stools but NO, IT SUCKS and you feel miserable LOL. So it's important to implement smaller portions, and better food choices. The medicine helps with that by controlling the "food noise" and the impulsive urge to eat when hungry, so you can actually make better choices.
The constipation was bad. Felt like I was pushing a bowling ball. Pain was insufferable
I had a surgery and had a horrible morning. Thought there was a brick in my arse…it was awful.
Eat 1-3 Persian cucumbers a day and drink lots of water
Okay so had the worse constipation for for first 2 months doc said to drink pear juice now I’m having the worse diarrhoea I’m on 5mg of monjora o 😅. Honestly impacting my day to day life
I love the educational part and the humor part of your videos! 😂😂❤❤
Put on ozempic to stabilize type 2 blood sugars, needed to lose weight too though, lost 4 stone so far, but iv been on ozempic for quite a few months now, it is great to know there's forums like this one out there, so sharing issues should help all who are on the ozempic journey..it's taken a while, but I can no longer eat fried food, spicy food or drink fizzy drinks without feeling nauseous and having chronic diarrhea.too much fresh fruit sets me off too.the unpredictable stomach issues impacts on daily life, there's no getting around it, don't think my stomach is paralyzed though,but yes, alternating between constipation and diarrhea is a nightmare.people tell me i look great after the weight loss, my clothes were hanging off me, am i joyfully ? No not particularly, everyone can see it except me.i try to analyze it, and think I'm scared of being a taken off ozempic and the weight goes back on, have other health issues too. Wasn't sure about ozempic face tbh, as you lose weight your features change, iv decided to start charting what I can eat, and what I cant , learning as I go along.its a whole different outlook on food, it makes you think about what your putting in your mouth, and how much, get it wrong and suffer the consequences.good luck to you all out there.
Diarrhea was so bad I had to stop the shots for two weeks. Took my third one today and fingers crossed I don’t get explosive diarrhea and have to stay home a week.
Besides keeping hydrated with electrolytes and water, 4oz of George’s aloe over ice 1-2 times a day is helpful to balance diarrhea or constipation but u might want to also add a food high in fiber (psyllium husk fiber is an extreme hit or miss but other fiber types help most people if u don’t want it in food form). There’s those Konjac or some other root noodles that are keto/zero carb that are made of pure fiber that some people love, just make sure you don’t eat more than 1-2 bags/servings cuz too much fiber can cause fecal compaction and lead to surgery or death. I wanna say miracle noodles is a popular brand but the ones sold at Costco have better texture/flavor.
Organic Oatmeal does wonders, 😢I feel scared to take it though. I can’t imagine the pain. Did you continue with it?
In regards to constipation, I have on occasion had to resort to self-administered enema's. A bit physically awkward. If you have someone able & willing to administer the enema for you, good for you. Most of us don't have enema angels.
Try glyserin suppositories. They work really well and in minutes. It's much easier and def more comfortable than an enema.😊😊😊
I’m so glad I found your content. It’s changing my life. Thank you!!
Amazing :). Let me know if there is a topic you would like me to cover.
I thank you for this video I'm on ozempic 2 mths now on 0.25 now issues since i went up to 0.5 i noticed I'm starting to get constipated so this video helps me to understand more about my situation ty.
My first experience with a GLP has been my journey with Mounjaro since mid-September. I seem to have kind of a sensitive GI system when it comes to medications so having GI side effects was not a surprise; however, I worry that I'm not really losing weight because of the medication. I'm concerned that the only weight I'm losing is because of the GI side effects. Right after my shot I tend to deal with constipation. If it is over a day, I take an oral stool softener until movement happens. That is usually followed by brief diarrhea but then I'm find for the rest of the week until the next shot.
The best feeling I have had on Manjuro was after a colonoscopy and the prep cleaned me out! So sad, really I am trying to use miralax with a gallon of water a day!
I am taking Wegovy, and constipation is a big problem. However, when it gets to the point when you know it's in the lower bowel, but you just can't get it out, Glyserin suppositories work wonders and only take 15 - 30 minutes to work. I am trying to lose weight so the diet I am on does not allow for a lot of fibre such as bran, etc. Just my experience to pass along.😊😊😊😊
.25 / .5 gave minimal side effects but the 1.0 is quite unpleasant. Headaches, nausea, stomach pain… feeling both like i’m starving and full at the same time?? pretty miserable. I’ve been doing injections in my stomach. I’ve heard the thigh is the slowest absorption site.. will taking my next shot in my thigh help because I can’t keep being sick half the week of every week.
Inner or outer because I'll do anything other than my tummy at this point
Yes, some people have said that. It is not necessarily based in evidence more anecdotal at this point but might be worth a try.
Having the same problem too I am just hoping it goes away soon it’s only been two weeks since I started the 1mg. Since I started Ozempic little less then a year ago I have lost 27lbs and I didn’t even know it was being used for weight loss I was on it for lowering my A1C which it also did. I just found out when I told my diabetes and life style management doctor that I was at a plateau in my weight loss, I have been trying to lose the weight I gained back during the stay at home mandate for diabetics during Covid, he increased the dosage to the 1mg and said that it could help with the plateau and cravings because they are now using Ozempic for weight loss. I have also been dealing with mental health issues so I thought it was my new meds that was making me crave carbs again and eat more and it may well be but I am taking Wellbutrin (bupropion) along with the new meds Cymbaltra so hopefully if it is the new med they will be off set by the Ozempic and Wellbutrin and I can continue to lose the last 25lbs I want to lose. I have had constipation right from the start but Metamucil helps with that so it’s not a big problem I have also totally changed my eating habits to a much healthier diet which helps with the constipation too but I still need to work on the moving/exercise part. I am hoping this all comes together and works for me mentally and physically.
@@Myjpugs-Walter You are making some small changes over time. Consistency is the key! Keep it up.
Can you drink fluids like protein shakes and teas instead of eating to deal with constipation ?
Love your honest humor breakdown😅keep it real thanks for the info! And everyone’s honest comments
My ozempic journey went fine for the first month, but for some reason that last 2 dosage at 0.75mg and my first dosage at 1mg left me stuck in bed for a month severely dehydrated and exhausted. I spent more time asleep in bed during this month then anything.. I had severe diarrhea and nausea and vomiting and gas.. cold sweats and all.. It was beyond miserable. The pain got so severe that I couldn't even cope anymore. I've never really had any bad side effects from medications before ( And I'm on quite a few ) but ozempic just destroyed me. I really hope people have a better experience then me.. I also hope people have really good doctors and check in with them frequently as your starting off so you don't have to go through hell as well if it doesn't work out.. It took me seeing 2 different doctors ( not my normal doctor as I couldn't get booked in with them ) to find out it was the ozempic causing all these issues.. The 2nd doctor I saw also told me something that I didn't know about ozempic.. it works by making you feel sick. I think thats a good way to describe it for people with no medical knowledge. at first i didn't feel sick, I had no issues at all I just didn't feel as hungry. but as the dosages went up .. man that changed for me.
My constipation cure is small milk shake once a week. It’s a treat yes but within 30 minutes my bowels clear out hard and soft stool. I’m not lactose intolerant either. My blood sugar still stays down too after an hour of drinking shake. I try to drink a glass of milk every night too. No issues with milk or cheese.
This is the best info. My problem was nausea and vomiting the day after i dose. If i drink water i will throw up and if i don't drink enough water i get constipated.
Wow same here! Did it ever go away? I’m having such a horrible day.
What dose were you on that was making you feel this way?
Ive used Saxenda for 3 months. Recently I got explosive diarrhea for up to a week, I stopped the medicine after doctor recommendation. I then started up once again 1 week later, and same happened. Uncontrollable diarrhea and puked 2 times. This is not something I can handle and will pause and try another method
How long does Ozempic take to leave my body? I’m 48 hours in to my first dose of 0.25 and I’m freaking miserable. Nauseated, in pain, headache, dizziness
The half life is 1 week. So after a given dose it takes 3-4 weeks to fully clear
I am also a sufferer of the wicked bad side effects of Ozempic. I was given a tip that may help you as it helped me. Inject into your "outer thigh" area instead of your stomach area. I read this tip from a 1 yr+ user of Ozempic. I have been injecting it into my thigh muscle, on the OUTSIDE OF THE THIGH ONLY!!! Never on the inside of the thigh area. This tip worked for me and I hope the absolute best for you and your health on your Ozempic journey!!
Ask your Dr for Mounjaro, there are less horrible side effects compared to Ozempic.
1 week, usually the symptoms get better after a couple weeks of use. Make sure ur getting enough water and remembering to actually eat small meals instead of nothing (saltine crackers and sprite over ice are a good last option). Put a frozen / extra cold water bottle on the back of your neck. Peppermint oil under ur nose or just smelling it helps with nausea. There’s a ginger honey chew I get off Amazon by mamma and me (come in a small bag of individually foil wrapped square semi soft/hard chews) that work better than regular ginger chews. Staying on a cool dark room…. These are all my last ditch usually successful things for any nausea.
On my 5th month of semaglutide. Had the worst constipation in my 55 years on earth ! Felt like Randy on South Park
I don’t lose weight on it. I was on the highest one. I still did not lose 1 pound and I was constantly constipated so I got off of it it was not for me.
QUESTION ?? Any truth about metaforim helping with stooling ?
Is Milk of Magnesia a few times a week a good option ?
How about any foods that you shouldn’t eat while taking these medications???
Stay away from very fatty foods so you don’t trigger nausea.
I’m dealing with the diarrhea 😢 had constipation before
Mother in law has bad constipation since taking this stuff ,great to know
Very good Dr Dan, why was I not informed of this by my Physician
Fact sheet should be given & included in your rx. Ask the pharmacy questions
@@larrybair2029ukatsti 🍯 👋🏼 🍯 👋🏼 🍯 👋🏼 🍯 👋🏼 🍯 👋🏼 0 lll
Very helpful info. Thank you!
I am considering going from 0,5 to 0,25 - but instead of every week only doing a shot every second week?
uncontrolled diarrhea after starting 1mg dose been 7 days! when will this go away?
I had that too. I went off the medication . I'm trying again this month, but without metformin. Did it stop for you?
With ozempic it takes 3+ weeks as the drug builds in your system
Your doctor is so chaotic we start low at .25mg to gauge effects we don’t just start you at 1mg and hope for the best
I had explosive diarrhea 27 times yesterday, 3 times today and it’s 6am
Same with me. 🥺
@@albertateague1778 since writing this I am now heavily constipated
I have IBS -D and Im worried that it will make me worse off. but i need to do something about my weight. wish me luck
Good luck. How has it gone. Ive just started the first dose 4 days ago. no appetite at all and oh my gosh the constipation is like nothing ive ever experienced before. I have slight IBS anyway but the constipation from ozempic is the worse.
@@kunmbi12 my insurance won't cover the meds. I don't have diabetes and my insurance doesn't cover weightlose meds. I don't have the money to do the compounded either. So I'm doing Keto. Its the only thing that's worked in the past.
@@jamiet9132 I assume you're located in the states since you mentioned your insurance not covering it? In the UK there's a shortage but only available through our national health care for diabetics. I bought mine privately, which is what most people here do.
@@kunmbi12 I am and with a perscription we can pay the full price for it. Which is like 1200 to 2000 a month I believe. Also we have an option to buy it from a compounding pharmacy for 300 to 500 a month. So their are options for those that can afford it.
Horrible diarrhea for a week now. Not sure how long to ket it go for.....
Did it ever change?
any updates???
I’ve had the same. Wondering how long it will last 🤔
I already know the Bristol poop chart and I know what the types generally mean, however, I do eat a fair amount of fibre and just really wanted to know if it would make any difference adding extra chia seeds for example to my already 'seedy' home made muesli?
Stool softeners not enough . Anyone have comments about Metamucil or Mirlax ?
Take a stool softener and two tablespoons of Metamucil before bed. This helps mitigate constipation.
Perfect!
I got so stopped up and none of the fiber supplements were working for me, so I finally broke down and took some laxatives. I got up in the morning, weighed myself, and as luck would have it had that immediate urge to shit. That is saying it lightly. It was more like child birth, after spending 15 minutes of pushing this monster down the bowl with the plunger I decided to weigh myself again. I official gave birth to a 4.6 pound turd
This made me laugh because I can so relate
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oMG I stop laughing
Yikes😂😂😂
😂
Do you have experience with IBS-D and Ozempic. I expect to swing to Constipation, but currently have an intolerance to Whole Grains, Eggs, Artificial Sweeteners, and raw veg/beans. My fiber is usually in the form of cooked veggies and Soluble fiber in juice.
That is my life currently. I have IBS and the way this wegovy has me stopped up every week, whew!!! Like first two days after injection in my tummy, I'm in tears on the toilet! I can't eat beads or pasta, shouldn't eat cheese but I love it. The burping for the first two days after injecting is AWFUL as well! It's a whole situation over here!😫
I’m having crazy bloating I’m wondering if it ever does away. Feels like I’m gaining weight and holding water even though I’m in a calorie deficit. 😩
Turns out it was a side effect, went down after about a week or so.
Lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks. Moving up to 7 mg now hoping for another 15 pounds in 8 weeks
So what is the likely hood that my Diarrhea is caused by Tapatio vs. Erythritol sweetened chocolate vs. a stomach bug? Should I still continue my next dose even if i have a current bout of diarrhea? Thank you.
Ive tried ozempic for three weeks and had severe constipation like no poops without exlax. Have tried all along metamucil and restoralax with no effect. So im off ozempic which is too bad because it was so good for my blood sugars amazing actually. I wonder if i tried trulicity if I would have similar constipation or maybe I should just try it to see if the same thing occurs. Ozempic and trulicity are about 3% of people get constipation. Thanks for your feedback.
Personally, Trulicity caused me SEVERE constipation. Like one small bowel movement per week. And I typically go daily. I had to come off of it and manage my diabetes with oral medications
I get sulfur burps and they are disgusting
I get that too, it's a warning that I'm going to be very unwell, sickness and diarrhea like you wouldn't believe.takes days to recover after it.
Me too. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot to see if certain foods are reacting to something but it seems that just about anything can bring it on. It’s so unpleasant. Ugh.
@@plum_colored_dahlia What I'd lfind to help me is sparkling waters, like Waterloos. I find it helpful to minimize sulfur burps because I think it helps release it out. Also try fiber supplements like the “now brand” capsules they help me a lot.
I have been in pain in my stomach since my last shot. I have not eaten a meal. Not even a little bit of food. I ate some peanuts and drunk some water and I am still in pain. Yesterday I threw up WATER! the water I had drunk came up and my stomach is still in pain
Follow up with your doctor!
How are you now? What dose were you on?
Hey so I start yesterday 0.25mg an I been lots of diharrea with some blood and pain in my rectus ? Is it normal so the beginning ?
Diarrhea is super bad for me
What if I have hiatal hernia, and it's already been causing me bad reflux and pressure, can it be dangerous? Should I eat very little and maybe drink a lot more water or something?.. I'm just at the beginning of the wegovy use, I only took my first dose this week and I'm afraid that if I have constipation and undigested food, it might cause a problem. My doctor said it shouldn't but I don't know man..🤦🏻♀️
If i knew all the side effects this causes i would never even start this. Can you still go to er for constipation. I only took 1 dose but I'm stopping i dont like the adverse effects
What about Miralax ? will that help ?
I had uncontrollable diarrhoea for weeks, with many accidents so I stopped help! What should I do?
Follow up with doctor
I’m so sorry that’s the worst! Mine is horrible stomach pain and constipation especially after the weekly shot. It was so bad one week I had to put a glove on and dig it out of me.
It was HORRIBLE! I make sure to take magnesium and colon cleanse the first day now. I just hate the stomach cramping pain 😩
Yes I did and went down to .5 but for some reason it just causes me to have diarrhoea so I stopped even though it was working for me
Diarrhea diet : rice, applesause,toast , no caffeine .
I went from pooping several times a day to nothing it’s been almost 48 hrs since I took the shot . I wanna poop this is weird.
This would not be ideal for me.
I can relate!!
What if I’m already not super regular and wanting to start glp1? What can I do?
I was taking Trulicity for diabetes and it worked well. Had to come off it because of insurance but, the constipation never stopped happening. It's been 4 months and if I don't take magnesium.... it's not coming out. lol. I'm scared of what it did to my stomach seeing that it's not back to normal bowel movements. (They definitely don't mention this fun side effect from discontinuing).
Do you know of a medical term for this? I have no clue what it's called, and I don't want to go to my doctor and say, 'I have constipation'. I really don't want to have to live off magnesium capsules the rest of my life, just to go to the bathroom. I don't imagine this happens to everyone but, it's something to think about before you start these meds. I fully regret trying it.
Thank you 😊
Thanks!
I just started with SAxEnda at .6 and diarrhea is bad. Also I burp a weird gas that is disgusting. How long before the diarrhea stops?
Couple of weeks for most people.
I have exactly the same symptoms. Really bad diarrhea and that weird burp. I’m on week 5. Have you found a solution?
Month 4 and still have these issues for a couple of days after taking my shot
I have ibs-d so it's hard to tell if it's meds
I need the probiotics video as I'm reading that prebiotics are universally better.
Can you take dulcolax while on ozempic?
Yes
How do you tell if you have an intestinal blockage?
You will be at the hospital.
lol
So I’m on saxenda and started at .6 going up .6 every week. When I got to 1.8 that’s when the diarrhea started. I mean it is day 3 and now my stomach is adjusting to it. I have been extremely bloated every morning when I wake up. I also take prenatal vitamins, I take vitamin C and fish oil. I try to get fiber in me with cereal or bread but not constant. I guess my body needs to get use to it. I’m either constipated or having diarrhea. Rarely in between. Lol
I'd try a fiber supplement.
I'm on 5mg and week 3 of it. I am experience bright red blood in my stool and nausea.
Go see a Dr.
I had to switch from saxenda which I did amazing on to ozempic due to the shortage - I was started on 2mg of ozempic. I took it last night and the constipation is so bad and I never have bowel issues. How long does this last for 😢😢😢😢😢
Depends person to person. Keep following up with your dr
Isn’t that a high dose to start on?
I’ve been on wegovy just short of 2 months and am on 1.0mg. I also take linzess daily. I haven’t experienced loss of appetite or weight loss. Should I stop linzess for a bit? It’s only to help with constipation.
I had no effect on ozempic until I got to 2 MG. And the weight loss was overnight. Two to three pounds. Then stops the rest of the week. Then repeats. By next dose. It's like weight loss in steps
I'm like you. I'm on 1.7 MG of Wegovy and am not losing weight. I started at a weight loss clinic but am still using Wegovy. I know I should probably quit, but I keep hoping things will start to happen when I am at the max dose of 2.3 MG. Right now, all I get is bloating, constipation, and periodic stomach pain, as well as reflux. I've been on this for 4 months now. If after a month at the max and nothing happens, I'll quit. It does help with a reduction in appetite to some degree. They also say that 15% of people using it have had no effect. It would figure I'm one of them!😂😂😂
If it's that bad just ask your doctor to prescribe you linzess. That would take care of it constipation I guarantee it will.
So seeing as how mostly everyone gets constipation with this, would it be helpful for people with IBS-D?
Some yes, some no. It really varies person to person.
I lost 29 pounds on Trulicity but other night i kept throwing up bile repeatedly. It was the worst.
WAIT THROWING UP BILE
What about heart palpitations?
I would recommend following up with your doctor!
13:54
Diarrhea was so bad
I sharted on my way home from work.
The bloating 😢
It should get better
Did it ever get better?
Yes it did
Nice! How long did it take for you if you don’t mind sharing? I’m having crazy bloating on Rybelsus and thinking of stopping but it’s only been a week and a couple days
It can take a couple of months. Not overeating helped tremendously.
Has anyone else experienced feeling like your food is not going down all the way to your stomach 🤔.
Also does anyone have a weird like old popcorn 🍿 taste lingering over for hours after you eat anything.
I've been taking Ozempic for about a month now.
People don’t know they need to eat like a baby. That’s the goal, this medicine can help is if we still eating the old habit that caused us to be overweight. I want take this one and am still studying.
Slowed gastric emptying this can be common.
OMFG I'm sitting in my br right now, I've had the most tumultuous night of my life and there was no other involved lol. Constipation, full of shit, however you want to put it. I was there. I think it's over. I thank my husband for helping me out. Buying diapers, for just incase, wipes, milk of mag. Yuk it all worked out.
Praise God.
Going for my ketamine infusion tomorrow, I use it 4 chronic pain. Also to not use opiates as much.
I'm a frigging mess and medical nightmare lmao
Who’s been able to afford these drugs? I live in the US and my insurance won’t cover them.
That is currently one of the big struggles with these medications.
some doctors say they can prescribe semaglutide where you can get it through a compounding pharmacy. not sure how much cheaper it would be then.
@@kite6864 This wouldn't be semaglutide. This would likely be Contrave split into its individual components.
@@theofficialdrdan some mix b12 in to it so Novo Nordisk won't go after them
@@kite6864 Ya that isn't semaglutide then. Novo would still go after them regardless of B12 or not. They have a patent on the various components that make the semaglutide molecule. Ie. They don't have a patent on the GLP-1 base molecule itself but the modifications they made to the molecule in order for it to have its long half-life etc. is all under patent. So if someone is claiming they are selling semaglutide it would be fraudulent/counterfeit.
1mg ozempic doesn't even affect my appetite. this stuff is weak. mounjaro is the real deal to help with type 2 and weight loss. ozempic, no.
They want to come out sideways 😆 😳
meg07 dose the job
😂😂😂💀💀💀🪦
Great explanation, thanks
