Mounjaro & Gas-- What is going on?

[CatWithNoTeeth]

Hi, I have been on Mounjaro for a while with no issue, no real side-effects. I am on 5mcg.

About 3 weeks ago I got what I thought was food poisoning from seafood and experienced crazy painful gas, in huge amounts I have never experienced.
Since then my stomach has been super-gassy, so bad it has been keeping me awake. It seems to get worse if I have dairy.

So I am wondering if my stomach has become more sensitive due to the Mounjaro. Has anyone else had bad gas with M, or sudden lactose intolerance symptoms? Or had unusual trouble recovering from a bug or food poisoning?

Of course it might not be due to Mounjaro at all! Please share any experiences I am really suffering.

Oh god yes, I'm on Wegovy but the other night I was in agony with something that absolutely felt digestive, really really bad for hours, seriously thought I was going to have awful shits. That never happened. Wind never really appeared although it felt like it would.
Right as rain the next day. Never had a pain similar with anything.
Who knows?
Hopefully you'll be better in the morning OP.

Sorry I completely missed that you've had this for 3 weeks now. I hope it passes but might be worth a call to 111.

Unfortunately there are a lot of gastric side effects from these medications. The only way to tell if it’s the drug is to stop taking it? I’m not sure anyone from 111 will be able to advise you other than that, but you can try. I had similar. Stopped injecting. It went away. Didn’t start again. You would need to see your GP for any testing they can start with an abdominal exam and maybe a stool sample.
