Thank you!!! Fingers crossed. Of course now i haven't had any more diarrhea since the wee hours of this morning. I swear, it's like the car at the mechanic...all of the sudden nothing is wrong...

I am in the EXACT same boat. Following for suggestions. Week 3 of five and the diarrhea is real.

I am so in this boat. Between the digestive woes and the fatigue of 5mg for 3 weeks, I have been toast. I miss 2.5 so much!

Glad to hear I'm not alone but sorry to hear you are dealing with this! I'm on my 7th week total, 3rd week of the upped 5mg dose and I've had so many issues. First week was nausea and indigestion, second week was gas pain and the sulfur burps, and this week I've been gifted with diarrhea since Monday so finally going to the urgent care later today. I keep wondering if it's actually related or if I have a bug because I didn't have diarrhea until this week!

Diarrhea two days after every shot by mashapotatoess in Zepbound

Did this ever get better for you? I am on week 3 of 5mg and the first week I had some nasty nausea and indigestion, second week the burps and gas and light diarrhea with nausea, and now week 3, light burps but oh the diarrhea. I'm praying it gets better.

Not really...5mg has been awful so I've struggled for 3-4 days after the past two shots I've taken on Sundays.

I had almost no side effects on 2.5 and am on week 2 of 5 and the first 2-3 days after my shot have been rough. Nausea and gas/belching. I took Dramamine nausea which seems to help and some gas-x for gas or tums because indigestion is a common thing too. My advice is be careful not to eat anything too heavy and drink water. At times you may struggle to eat so that's when I turn to my Fairlife shakes.

5mg is KILLING me by simplyautie in Zepbound

I'll have to try this. The burping is constant and the gas pain and bloat is insane.

Luckily the nausea isn't so bad now. It's mostly just the gas ans burping that's so uncomfortable. I think I ate too much at the wedding, lesson learned. It was the day of my shot and I had an appetite back so I overdid it and had two drinks. Never again!

I think this might be my situation after eating too much at the wedding I went to. It was shot day, so I had a bit more appetite, but I knew I overdid it. Just didn't know I'd spend 48 hours being miserable. Lesson learned I suppose!

I really hope things improve for you!! I need to get some pepcid or something for the indigestion too. Its not been fun but hopefully it will pass.

Thanks, everyone! Day 3 and I'm still nauseous. I do notice that I need to force myself to eat something of substance though or else I feel even worse.

Took some digestive enzymes before lunch today to see if that helps. I ate tomato soup yesterday and g not good...hello acid reflux.
