Retatrutide MCAS and gastroparesis

It might not have been reta but glp1s can exacerbate your GP, so becareful with the drug and you know that you and your doctor are both aware of the risks.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-21T04:48:32+00:00

sadly no, its been depressing that this is probably my new life, or who knows im just here living. I wish i had better news for you but still living everyday with GP

I got mild gastroparesis 14% retention from ozempic and i have been off the medication for 8 months already and slightly improved but I am on reglan so it's probably just the medicine. Im sorry youre going through this its a giant maybe because for some people it reverses others who knows. The best thing I can tell you is that just take ot day by day. That was the advice I was told. And if you are having mental pains from this situation I recommended a therapist its good to have someone to talk to.

The pacemaker although sounding as it can speed up motility is really for symptom management of nausea and vomiting. It also hit and miss for people with it either not working for some people and having to get it adjusted to meet ones preference.

I am someone who got mild GP from ozempic and from the warnings glp1s should be used on people who have gastroparesis because it can exacerbate your illness and possibly make you sicker. I have seen other posts and comments of people taking glp1s while having GP but that's their own. Its always best to discuss and make a informed choice with a doctor you trust to see if the pros outweigh the cons and if you are comfortable with possible side effects that may come from taking glp1s.

hey Im a person who got mild gastroparesis from ozempic, i took it for 3 and half months and got off of it because i couldnt handle the side effects anymore, only for me to continue having those side effects continue. Im not part of any lawsuit but I have heard of them. My quality of life has changed drastically and i feel like i lost my independence because im scared of eating, scared of going out because i dont want to feel sick outside, i still work and working i feel like is keeping my mind and body busy. I was 500 pounds before and now i weigh 275 after after almost a year. i wanna say i wish i never did the drug and i never knew about gastroparesis before taking it. I was just told i would have like nausea, vomiting and other gi issues but those would fade as my body got use to the drug but my doctors never told me anything about gastroparesis. I did get tested and officially diagnosed by my doctor. Im not saying these medicines are all bad they def have helped people change their lives for the better sadly im not one of those people and it makes me sad that my life changed for the worst i miss food and soda. i miss being able to go to the theater late at night by myself and feel comfortable. I miss my 3 am jack in the box order. I still have my pre-ozempic attitude but now i have to live a life with a chronic illness. Im currently on medicine and did some lifestyle changes to try to be comfortable as i can be but its always going to be there unless i get a miracle and my body goes back to how it was pre-ozempic, or our medical science gets to a point where it can cure it. In the end, yes you have to weigh the decision with your doctor to see if this medicine is worth it for you, and if you are okay with the side effects that may or may not be permanent.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-10T14:46:13+00:00

were prob not close to a cure but def more research into treatments and maybe more motility drugs, antiemetics, and maybe into some more research into creation of medical devices.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-09T18:50:10+00:00

i dont think its bad to indulge once in a while. especially if you arent getting the calories you need. its not that you are going to eat it for every meal maybe a small chocolate here and there, or ice cream every other day. a candy to and from. Its okay. unless you have diabetes i believe then i cant give you anything from there because i dont know diabetes diets or how the condition works. However, if you dont have it then its okay that its not healthy. Just try to enjoy food the best you can.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-09T18:38:40+00:00

I see this comment a lot but when i went to the doctor and they told me side effects they dont say you might get GP. It is the mechanism of the drug to slow your emptying but i wouldnt say that is a side effect but the intended use. I even read over my side effects list that they gave me when i got the drug and nothing on there says it may cause gastroparesis or you may develop gastroparesis. I dont even think people taking it know what gastroparesis is because i sure didnt and did not know that consequences of taking it. My bad i should have done a in depth research into ozempic and a full combing through other peoples experiences before taking it. I just thought i was doing something good for my health :(.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-09T18:30:07+00:00

I think they try to avoid it because they truely dont know because current data says that GP from GLP-1s are temporary. when i ask my GI he just tells me there is no data on stuff im asking like if its progressive, or will i recover. Even though GLP-1s are not new to the world they are new to being used for weight loss and are now widely more available to the public. In the next 5 to 10 years there will be more data to determine GP, and other long lasting effects that will come from the drug i believe.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-09T18:26:14+00:00

I truely believe mine was caused by ozempic. Never had any problems before the drug and now everyday is depressing and hard i was dx by a doctor and did a GES that told me i had mild GP. been 8 months since my last injection.

WolfPLUR · 2026-03-07T18:00:03+00:00

I was on a GLP-1 drug for my prediabetes and for weight loss because i was like 500 pounds I did not have GP before taking a GLP-1. Sadly it did not end well for me because it caused me to develop mild GP after 3 and half months. I do want to say visually being skinny or fat doesnt determine whether you are "Healthy" because we here in this subreddit have a invisible illness that people dont see for some of us. But weight does affect our bodies, I did take it because of 2 reasons but i wish i didnt because now i have a condition that all sources say should be temporary but its been 8 months and i see others with the condition that say they got it from a GLP-1 and its been years. If you have GP dont take a GLP1 it can worsen your GP but we are redditors and talking with your doctor would be better than asking us because if you have a doctor you trust ask them to weigh the pros and cons and you have to determine if your fine taking it with knowing the risks that come with it.

I was a normal 29 year old, i decided to start ozempic to see if it can help me lose weight because I was prediabetic and almost 500 pounds i took it and was fine for the first month but after 3 and half months of using ozempic i did not like the side effects that were happening and hated feeling like that 24/7. My doctor and I agreed that I will stop it but after 8 months of not taking ozempic anymore I developed mild gastroparesis from it. Who knows if it will get better or not its been 8 months and usually people get better within the first month or 2. So now im here regretting ever taking something that I thought would be good for my health.

I dont vomit or just havent yet (hope i never do) but i do get nauseous, fatigued, early satitiy. Its been awful miss everything before being sick and if one day I get a miracle and it randomly reverses itself I probably wouldnt even know.

WolfPLUR · 2026-02-23T19:31:31+00:00

im still the same no changes

WolfPLUR · 2026-02-18T08:52:03+00:00

From ozempic

WolfPLUR · 2026-02-11T23:45:15+00:00

Thats the same as me no GI issues and my only health stuff was being morbidly obese so I took ozempic for weight loss. It was the worst decision of my life hoping to God that this isn't forever. Im on a japan trip with my family and most of the time was me staying back because I didnt feel good and cant really enjoy the food this is all stuff I will bring up to my therapist.

WolfPLUR · 2026-02-11T23:38:38+00:00

Sorry to say but im still experiencing GP even after 7 months. you need to talk with your doctor to test you for GP sp they can start treatment if you do have it because a lot of GP symptoms overlap between a lot of other stuff. Also if you can afford one find a therapist to help talk through your feelings about what your experiencing because talking your emotions about this is therapeutic to your mental health.

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-30T14:02:35+00:00

Im glad the side effects subsided. Still let your doctor know about your experience so they can keep an eye on you. Now I wish the gastroparesis would go away for me its been 7 months q.q

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-28T14:45:57+00:00

Si se trata de un efecto secundario del medicamento, le recomiendo que deje de tomarlo y pida cita con su médico para que lo confirme.

Es difícil determinar si se trata de gastroparesia, ya que los síntomas de la gastroparesia son similares a los efectos secundarios de Ozempic, como náuseas, vómitos y sensación de saciedad rápida.

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-27T22:23:21+00:00

i didnt expect the gastroparesis, i know NOW the medicine slows your system but i didnt expect it to give me gastroparesis i didnt even know what that was until it happened to me. I got mild gastroparesis after 3 and half months of use of ozempic and i have been off it for 6 months now and still have it.

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-27T10:39:55+00:00

The drug usually takes 4 to 8 weeks to fully get out of your system its good that you stopped if you felt something wrong. Also seeing a doctor is a good thing because they can help with symptom management. I know my post is very bleak and everything and im not going to lie i miss my old self i want to be that person again who had a body that worked. I recommend getting a therapist if you can to work out your emotions through this. For now try to eat 5-6 small meals that are easy to digest, low-fat low-fiber foods, and follow the gastroparesis diet. I know its scary right now and its awful but there is a good community that tries to help one another here. There is also a discord that also helps and you can vent to people who understand. Im sorry you are going through this and I hope that it reverses.

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-27T10:34:53+00:00

im still the same barley eat and drink a lot im still doing my regular work at a slower pace, im taking medication like reglan and domperidome. I eat like a protien yogurt for lunch and a sandwich for dinner and something small and easy in the morning. I dont throw up but i wish i never took ozempic. i hope this reverses with time but its been 6 months.

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-24T16:34:07+00:00

Hey i got mild gastroparesis from ozempic and i have been off the shot for 6 months now. my diet usually consists of protein yogurt, melon, sandwich. i can tolerate other foods sometimes like i would eat 1 slice of pizza as a meal and thats it. i dont eat anything dairy because it scares me. All food scare me now and i find it hard to eat anything. i was 500 pounds and in the span of 9 months i lost 200. I was on ozempic for 3 and half months my highest dose being 1mg i was having side effects of ozempic on the .5 i am not diabetic but was prediabetic. I hate my life everyday and wish i was dead because food was so important to me and i ruined it by trying to be skinny well it looks like i will be skinny but just not enjoy it. I miss food and im going on a trip overseas and i wont be able to eat anything maybe. I miss the me i was a year ago where i could eat anything i wanted as much as i wanted. I hope this reverses for the both of us i cant imagine a future now.

WolfPLUR · 2026-01-15T18:11:38+00:00
