I’ve been on MJ since mid May
SW 128kg
CW 105kg

I’ve suffered with constipation from the start and have been on many threads on here about it! 🥝🥝

I’ve been increasing slowly and have taken 6mg for the last 3 weeks, so no recent change in dose.

I went out for dinner for DD’s birthday on Sunday, having injected in the morning. I was fairly virtuous and had prawns with chilli.

On Monday evening during a PT session I was gripped with abdo pain, feeling sweaty and nauseous and had to go home. I put my diarrhoea down to the chilli prawns but it’s carried on all week! 😢

It can only be the MJ as I’ve had no other change in diet. It’s leaving me feeling exhausted as it’s relentless. I’m due to have minor surgery tomorrow, under LA, thankfully.

Has anyone else had such a strange extreme of bowel habits on MJ?

Are you sure it's not Noro (or another stomach bug)? Those almost are the exact symptoms I had with that. It's very easy to assume all gastric issues are MJ related. Sympathies, it sounds grim!

Thanks @GiveMeWordGames, I was pretty sure it’s not that as it’s one end only and have no upper GI issues, am eating and drinking normally.

I’ve had Norovirus before and the nausea and vomiting was prolific!
I suppose it could be worse. 😆

Am thinking of dropping down to 5mg this week as can’t go on like this 😩

OP I have had basically no side effects but had the same experience with prawns at a restaurant which I hadn’t had at home!

Oh Lord!😱

I wish I hadn’t been so virtuous - I really fancied one of their pizzas as well!

I’ve taken MJ since April 24 and had very few side effects. Except in January this year when I had all your symptoms approx four times each lasting a number of days. My GP did all the stool tests, just had an abdo ultra scan and all is well. No other side effects, maybe it’s just one of those things.
