According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about 42% of American adults struggle with obesity. For years, people have been trying all sorts of methods and medications in search of the perfect weight loss solution.
Often, weight management programs use restrictive or low-carb diets. Removing vegetables, fruits and grains can cause reduce essential fiber that helps with regular bowel movement and can also decrease natural water retention, which leads to harder stools which are more difficult to pass. Severely restrictive diets can lead to extreme constipation by slowing the body’s overall metabolic rate which includes the processes in your digestive system.
Recently, the Type 2 diabetes management drugs Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide, prescription injectable) has been getting a lot of attention when used off-label for weight loss. These drugs help manage diabetes by encouraging the body to make more insulin to manage blood sugar levels.
However, Ozempic also slows down digestion which means the bowels move less often. Constipation is one of the most commonly reported side effects People taking Ozempic tend to eat less food and fiber (lack of fiber is a leading cause of constipation) because they feel full. Fiber helps add bulk to your stool making it easier to pass. Initial Ozempic-related constipation can last for many weeks according to one study and only diminishes if the body becomes more tolerant to the drug.
In another study on Ozempic published in the National Library of Medicine, the most frequently reported gastrointestinal side effects of Ozempic were found to be nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, acid reflux, burping, gas and flatulence.
Dealing with constipation can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Here’s some suggestions on how to manage your Ozempic-related constipation and related side effects.
