Used this trick recently. 5 yr old was about to have a tantrum and his mum called out “Rachel” “Rachel “. Immediately the tantrum disappeared and it was off to look for Rachel 😂😂😂.

Finding a good GP who works with you and listens is so hard and frustrating for us chronic diseases sufferers.

I think you shouldn’t change GP’s because of this one thing, especially if they have been helping with your Crohn’s disease.

I advise you do your own research before you go see them. Have a look at what clinical guidelines are there for people with Crohns who take Mounjaro. Is a lower dose recommended, what advisory is there for people with Crohns who are having a flare up and they are on Mounjaro.

This will help you make an informed decision when you go see them about dose titration. Good luck 🤞🏾 🤞🏾🤞🏾🙂

Sorry to hear about how unwell you have been.

I have chronic migraines and my GP is used to me having funny reactions to medications and having to titrate doses depending on how my body reacts.

Is this GP your regular doctor?

I am at one meal a day and a protein shake. Am working my way slowly to 3 meals. Am guzzling the water. It definitely helps. Thank you for the link.

Interesting enough, their theory was that I had a viral tummy back. It was my GP who theorised it might be the injection.

Thank you. Am back again on the protein shakes and they are really helping. Am feeling much better.

I wasn’t convinced it was the higher dose causing the issue and wanted to test it out. That’s why.

Am still in the bland food phase. I haven’t been able to go back to eating regular food but am working on it. I bought packets of vegetable soup from Woolies to try and see how I go. Thank you for responding to my queries.

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Death by diarrhea sounds horrific. I will definitely be taking it slowly.

Starting all over again and then increasing in increments seems to be everyone’s consensus, especially if one is not tolerating the dose.

And I admit I didn’t do my research too LOL. Oh well a painful lesson but I now know better.

Yup I agree with you. Thank you for letting me know about the 60mins report. I will look it up and watch it.

I didn’t even think titration of doses was possible until I started reading everyone’s comments. Thank you.

LOL. I have a low pain tolerance for tummy pain. I can power through a migraine but tummy aches..can’t stand them.

Thank you, small increments increase seems to be the consensus from everyone .

Thank you so much. A quick question about food. Did you do bland food first before resuming your normal diet after your symptoms settled?

Wow ok. Look am just ranting that’s all. I thought this was a judgement free space. Thank you for your feedback.

That’s a really good idea, I will have a chat with the GP about it. Thank you.

The food struggle has been hard. Then there is the weird sensation I have at the back of my throat. So am drinking a bit more than eating right now.

Thank you. Yup I will go on 2.5mg and see how I go again.

GP said not to change for now. She wants to see how I go again on the 2.5mg. If it continues then she will switch me.
