[Discussion] we underplay how much of the GI stuff is dose-escalation speed
Thinking out loud about this: we underplay how much of the GI stuff is dose-escalation speed. Keeping a log, and what to put in it. One line a day: dose, day since injection, what the symptom was and how bad out of five, and roughly what you ate. Two months of that fits on one page and the pattern is obvious on paper…
The pattern almost everyone here describes, written out once so it can be linked.
A step up is followed by a rough window — commonly injection-site soreness arriving the day after the shot and easing by day four, worst in the first fortnight, then flattening out. At a stable dose it usually settles further. Constipation and fatigue tend to track intake and fluid rather than the compound directly, which is why the unglamorous answers work.
What sits outside that pattern: severe pain, symptoms that appear from nowhere weeks into a stable dose, or anything getting worse rather than better over a month. None of that is a board question and none of us can answer it for you.

Is it every week or did it start at a particular dose?
How long after a step up did this start?
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
