Terrible Gas and constipation

[RLR]

Started Ozempic 6 weeks ago and the gas and burps 1 hour after eating for hours after. Has anyone experienced this? Plus major constipation!!!!

This is not the drug you want. In the Winter addition of Chatelaine, there is a story about Ozempic, and it's quite telling. Emily Wright is the author, and I'm not near as bad as her, and the side effects. I stopped taking this drug after 6 weeks. Cramping, Constipation, Diarrhea, and Vomiting are normal side effects. Really, these are just side effects? Not for me, after 33 years of "trying" new drugs since I was injured, this stuff does not work. I'm finished with trying something new. I have never had so many difficulties, including my Colonoscopy...and I'm not kidding. Be careful...very careful.

I have constipation for 3 days. On the 4th and 5th day, I feel like I really need to go. I have to strain. Then usually on the 6th day, I strain at first but once the first one gets out…the rest is mud. Sorry for the graphics. And the whole cycle starts over.
