    GPL-1 users: Oh?

    GPL1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy cause ridiculous amounts of constipation due to slowing down digestion and GI food transference.

      Oh thank God. I thought it was my IBS acting up again. I’ve been on it for over a year and lost the weight really well, but the constipation was somewhat horrific.

        Interesting, for me it was rather fine. I used it for around 3 years, and kept up a once per day bowel schedule on most days. Still lost a lot of weight. But I know it does slow down digestion a lot, all the way from the stomach to the colon
