Ozempic Gi Side Effects (Page 2)

Hello. I just recently started ozempic I'm type 2 diabetic and am overweight I've worked up to the .5 dose 2 more weeks I'll be on 1.0 is there anyone out there with any experience with this drug? At first I thought I was allergic as I broke out in a rash I thought was poison sumac, but not so sure now. And my bathroom habits have seriously changed from once every morning to several times a day. Any input would be greatly appreciated

I too have experienced this where I have dropped from 1.0 back down to .50 started taking Pepmo Bismo to see if this helps.
Have also had violent episodes of vomiting.
I usually last 1 day but this is the 1st time in 3 weeks I’m going to try and work.

Hey. I’m on my first week of Ozempic 2mg. I went through the stages to get up to this dose. Been having extreme stomach pain and gas when I’m trying to go to bed. I have also been burping what seems to be an extremely odd smell to come out of my mouth. Should I go to doctor? I’m scared to tell him as he may want me off this med and I’m using it for my diabetes and hopefully to lose weight.

I don't think it causes aging, it has happened to me. But I'm 77 so to be expected. I would think younger people would not have a problem with that. My DD is 52 and lost over 70 pounds and her facial skin is fine. I doubt I have the collagen or same youth to my skin anymore. But I don't care. Could hardly walk before and now with 40 pounds off I can. Also has smoothed out my hypoglycemia. And my doc said will benefit my heart. So I'm starting to look my age, who cares if you feel healthier and do well. I'm at a normal BMI, all the side effects have finally gone away. I never had to go beyond .50mg nor did DD who was pre diabetic. Our glucose levels are near perfect and now along with statins and changing diets our cholesterol levels are perfect too. We are both happy campers.

Only if I eat too much or eat foods with too much grease. For the longest time I could not eat fast foods. I ate a lot of veggies and fresh fruits, but gradually have reintroduced other foods. But I eat less than half of what I used to. If I try to eat to much it will make me sick. If you look at proper food portions you will soon realize americans eat many times what we should.

Hi. I am diabetic and overweight. I have been on Ozempic for almost 1 year and definitely have issues with eating and digesting meat, poultry, and seafood. I rarely eat red meat, but I do eat poultry, seafood, and occasionally, pork. I find that sometimes I feel nauseous during and after eating it. I also have less appetite, which can make it difficult to eat. I get frequent stomach/abdominal pain and very smelly loose bowels or diarrhea. When I avoid eating any type of meat or seafood, then the diarrhea goes away for the most part. I take a lot of other meds, so I'm not sure it's the Ozempic, but things have definitely gotten worse since I started the Ozempic. I have lost 22 lbs and my a1c is down to 6.5 from 8.8, but I am considering stopping it and just increasing my exercise and tightening my diet to lose at least another 38 lbs. I am going to talk to my doctor about it. I hope this helps.
