my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether reflux is why
The title is the argument: my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether reflux is why. Here is the rest of it.
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.
Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.
A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 37 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
Please do not ask me what dose you should be on. I genuinely do not know and neither does anyone else here.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.
The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and reflux is the toll for the first fortnight
hair shedding follows the weight loss, not the drug, and it stops
nausea on day two and gone by day four is the standard shape
Cosigning the fibre and water answer. Unglamorous, free, and it fixed it for me inside a week.
nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose
Removed the specific recommendation. Describe your own experience here; do not tell another member what to take or what dose to be on.
Yes. Holding the dose is a real option and it does not mean you have failed at anything.
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
Are you eating in the couple of hours before you sleep?
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
Right, and the hair thing is worth repeating: it tracks the rate of loss rather than the compound, and it stops.

Adding to this — holding the dose rather than stepping is the option people forget they have.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
