Could Mounjaro be causing evening diarrhoea and wind after meals after a year?

I'm a year on MJ now. Lost just over 3 stones quite slowly and never gone above 7.5mg. I'm currently on 5mg.

I had a little break over Easter and for for the last few weeks I get wind and the runs after every evening meal. It's painless and I'm wondering if it's MJ. It's any type of meal. Even half a soup bowl size portion.

It starts about 30 mins after eating. Lasts until after I wake out. Stools are loose and orange and the gas is terrible. I'm wondering if it's bile acid malabsortion or something to do with bile? I'm seeing my Dr. Stool samples tested for bacteria etc all clear. Just need my bloods now

Is there a reason you haven’t gone up a dose when your weight loss has been extremely slow?

Nobody can say if it’s the MJ, only the doctor

I was happy to go slow. I find I can maintain my weight when I take breaks. So there's still a large element of self control. I'm thinking longer term goals here and life after monj.

Although I'm very tempted to go up a dose right now to finish my journey and come off asap. I don't want to get right down to my ideal lower end of bmi either. The upper end has always been easy to maintain without much thought. I'm not far off where I want to be and if I keep being ill I will get to that target in the next few weeks anyway. But that's not a great way to loose it
