Sudden severe gastro effects after 3 years?!

[LovelyCoconuts]

Hello

I have been on WLI for 3 years (MJ for the last 2 years). I have lost 7 stone and am now a healthy weight.

I've still been taking 15mg as I find so far I get hungry around day 5 if my dose is much lower.

A week past yesterday, not long after taking my dose, I experienced SULPHUR BURPS for the first time ever. This was followed by explosive diorrhea and gas.

The burps went after a few days but the diorrhea and gas remain, over a week later. (So can't be something I ate or a bug?) I had to take immodium yesterday as I had a meeting to attend. Otherwise I'm having to stay close to a toilet (and even get up during the night for explosions!)

Obviously I skipped yesterday's dose of MJ.

WTF is this?! Is it MJ related or something else entirely? When the hell will it go away and at what point do I need to get a Dr? I have Dioralyte on hand as I must be losing a lot of fluid.

Thanks

(There's no way I'm throwing away the rest of this 15mg MJ pen, it's worth ££!) So I'm powering through at least until the end of the pen.

fat causing diarrhoea is one of the symptoms I had After 3-4 months on mj. Also had sulphur burps. Turned out I had absolutely horrific gallstones from the extreme sudden weight loss of 44lb going very quickly. Apparently losing weight frees up cholesterol from fat stores and this forms stones in your gall bladder? I was pretty out of it when the surgeon explained the exact science but defo worth it being checked out.

Thanks! It must be an INCREDIBLY delayed reaction if that's what it is as I really feel my body has been stable for months on end. Also I didn't lose the weight particularly fast. Will go and do some research tho.

Would be bloody typical if I end up in hospital with gallstones or pancreatitis or something!

The sonography said I was the most productive type of gal stone patient. I was like “what?!” Then she got me with Fs…..Fat, female, fertile ( had children) and forty plus. I tried not to take it to heart but damn she could have been a bot more gentle 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

It was time for me to take my next dose, was getting a bit hungry and it had been nearly a week.

Took 7.5mg. Had a slight sulphur taste so took some Pepto Bismal.

Am a little gassy but nothing awful.

@GreenGodiva I'm forty and female but have been fat but never had any children!

I have also just been diagnosed with gallstones after 2 yrs on mounjaro, hope it's not that. An ultrasound would tell you.
