Effects of Zepbound on Stool Quality
twitter.comI’ve seen news stories about how people often have constipation or “gut paralysis” as a side effect of GLP1 drugs. For some people the effect stays even after they stop taking the drug. I wonder if we will see lawsuits around these issues soon.
If you’re eating less wouldn’t you … you know…
… crap … less …?
They had statistically no change in loose or hard (3/4 vs 4/4) stools , the only change in healthy stools that there were 16 fewer of them between the two samples.
then two liquids in sample 2, working out to 9.5% . because it’s 2 out of 21.
If it had been 2 out of the prior sample (36) this would have only been 5.5%
(loose jumps from 11.9 to 19% but remains “4” total in both sets.)
Nobody asked or wanted to know but I had a dramatic improvement in intestinal motility on Glp-1, being a little starved for oxygenated blood down there - I’m on it for cardiac issues rather than weight loss.
Interesting enough it also revived a small part of a massive infarct they wrote off as non-viable years ago. Spent Xmas in the hospital with it kind of doing its own thing independently of the rest , they were about to hit me with the party paddles and I suddenly went sinus rhythm on my own lol
Let’s leave it at… everything down there … abruptly got normal again and has stayed that way for (so far) a little over a month since that happened…
Extremely. Weird. Drug class. I guess some people even go blind on it. I don’t think I would have touched it if I wasn’t backed into a corner to try a bunch of drugs and hope for the best or get a transplant.
