Has anyone found Mounjaro improves constipation rather than causing it?

I've always struggled with mild constipation my whole life so was wary of mounjaro as it is supposed to cause constipation.
However I have found I am more regular when on mounjaro than off it and it's quite a lovely relief! I feel better in quite a few subtle ways on mounjaro, it makes me wonder what is going on in my body.
I can't find anything via Google to suggest that mounjaro can actually help resolve constipation, everything I read says it's the other way around.

I found that in the early days Mounjaro gave me diarrhoea and even now I'm unable to go above 3.75mgs . I have been on it for nearly a year.
I've only ever suffered occasional constipation.

Have you changed what you're eating at all alongside the Mounjaro, or drinking a lot more liquid?

So yes I'm definitely eating a healthy diet as part of the whole process, which should be helping, but I've eaten like this plenty of times in my life in my weight loss battles yet consistently struggled with constipation regardless. There's definitely something else going on.

Opposite benefit. I used to have IBS and an upset tummy a lot!! Since taking MJ, my gut seems improved. I prefer to be a bit constipated to the alternative 😂
