Anyone with experience of Mounjaro after previous faecal impaction concerns?

I’d like to start mounjaro but am really worried about constipation, as I had faecal impaction last year and never want that again!

I think this is a question for your doctor TBH.

You would need to keep a very close eye on things and whatever you do now to prevent constipation, you'll need to do a lot more of.

I have a lot of gastric issues so paid for a private gp to start with for my Mounjaro. Very worth it.

I have never had constipation and bene on it 18 months. Not everyone gets it. You can do the best you can to eat a healthy diet and plenty of fibre, it hi k a lot of people with bad side effects don’t eat particularly well.

Oh, this might help, thank you

i eat pretty well (obviously too much!) but prone to stomach stuff

it’s the slowing the gut bit I’m scared of
