Ill or overeaten

[omgsoill]

As per thread title really! On mounjaro, 5

So i know for a fact I over-ate on Christmas day - woke up about 3am, one episode of terrible tummy cramps, loose stools, then back to bed, and was fine boxing day morning.

Last night, 3x episodes of loose stools, and still continuing into today. Havent eaten anything dodgy yesterday, was back to my "normal" diet - very good with the suppressed appetite. Did have some frozen (fully cooked) party food for dinner, but all within kcal and stopped when i felt full.

Slept until midday today, which is unusual but equally i have been at a massive sleep deficit with work the last week.

Also - i have started to have really eggy burps - never had these at all through my mounjaro journey,

Guess i'm just wondering if this is likely mounjaro related/from eating, or if i have picked up one if the many bugs that seem to be going around?

Anyone?

Is it likely i'll suddenly start reacting with mounjaro after being relatively good with no side effects?

Especially if my jab is due tomorrow?

I had this on 5mg. Unfortunately my side effects got worse and I had to stop taking it. It also didn’t seem to be related to eating too much or eating the wrong things it just happened occasionally.
Hope it’s not the same for you

I would say MJ, Iv woken up in the night with loose stools more than once (including last night and it’s continued all day).

I also get horrible burps.

I always find it gets worse after Iv been eaten more & higher fat foods, it doesn’t always happen imminently straight away but can happen a day or so after Iv eaten something.

I just presume some things doesn’t agree with MJ in my body. Currently sat here with a dodgy stomach and I haven’t eaten much today because of it.

Definitely MJ. Possible over indulgence on rich, fatty foods.

Almost certainly Mounjaro related.

Definitely MJ. I never got past 5mg as the egg burps and random diorrhoea was unsustainable

I'd say MJ too. When I eat rubbish, fatty food, I have the usual side effects. If I eat clean, I sometimes even forget I am on MJ!

Thanks, i was really hoping it wasn't MJ related.

I'm due my 4th dose of 5mg tomorrow.

I guess maybe I've been lucky in no side effects so far 🙈

@MeandBobbyMcGoo I think have been lulled into a false sense of security with not really noticing i was on it and eating clean at the same time

5mg seems to be the point that the stomach really complains for a lot of people. Also it's possible to overeat on Mounjaro if you really try, but it will lead to gastric distress.

I’d say food related if you changed your diet and had the side effects known from overly fatty/carby/sugary food and not had them before.

@Shrinkingrose
To be honest, that's what I'm hoping for... especially being 3 doses of 5mg into this pen...

I have definitely over eaten since Christmas Day, and gas foods i wouldn't normally have, as well as alcohol.

I had hoped that eating normally yesterday (bar some party food for dinner) would have reset it a bit, but last night and today has shown not.

Logically it’s the change in diet, I’d just get back on track,,

I’m currently on my bonus dose of 10mg and vomited today due to how badly I’ve eaten the last few days. It’s been so stupid of me but I’ve eaten haribo, popcorn, nachos, slushies, ridiculous. This is the first time in the 4 months of being on Mounjaro that I’ve eaten badly or “overeaten” and I’ve really paid for it with headaches, dizziness, vomiting, burping and fatigue. After vomiting this morning, I’ve eaten “clean” due to nausea and I feel so much better already. I’ve also suffered terribly with heartburn today. Defo won’t be making the same mistake again.

Can confirm a week on, it was definitely overeating/change in diet and not related to the dose.

Still took my dose as planned on Sunday, and while I now feel rough thanks to the flu virus thing going around, it definitely wasn't due to this earlier.

Happily sticking on my 5mg dose and will be so much more careful with my food intake, even on special occasions
