And for good reason: If you\u2019ve opted to take GLP-1 in a quest for weight management, you\u2019re surely pretty excited about positive changes in your overall health. But you\u2019re also probably wondering: <em>What are the side effects?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, most people do experience side effects. More than 82% of patients who take GLP-1 experience GI-related side effects like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at some practical strategies to minimize or treat these potential side effects. Then you\u2019re as comfortable as possible as you watch the numbers on the scale go down.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First, how does GLP-1 work exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/postmarket-drug-safety-information-patients-and-providers\/medications-containing-semaglutide-marketed-type-2-diabetes-or-weight-loss\">U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/a>, GLP-1 is a type of drug called a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. This medication type copies the way a natural hormone called GLP-1 functions in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you eat, GLP-1 is released in your GI tract, signaling your body to make more insulin, lowering your blood sugar. GLP-1 also reduces hunger by sending \u201cI feel full\u201d signals to your brain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How should you deal with GLP-1 side effects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Side effects typically ease as your body adjusts to the medication. Still, it\u2019s important to know how to minimize or treat these potential discomforts. Try these strategies:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have nausea or vomiting:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stick to small portions of bland foods like crackers, toast, and rice.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drink ice-cold water very slowly, suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/symptoms\/8106-nausea--vomiting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. This will help prevent you from getting dehydrated and settle your stomach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steer clear of fried, greasy, and overly sweet foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid brushing your teeth right after eating, says Cleveland Clinic. Doing this too soon can activate your gag reflex and make you get sick to your stomach.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have indigestion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Try eating six mini portions instead of three full portions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat slowly. Put your fork down as you chew a full bite to help get into this habit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop eating at least two hours before bedtime.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talk to your doctor about whether medications like omeprazole and famotidine could help you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have constipation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hydration can make bowel movements easier. Add water-rich foods to your diet, like cucumber, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, squash, bell peppers, watermelon, strawberries and spinach, advises <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uclahealth.org\/news\/article\/15-food-that-help-you-stay-hydrated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UCLA Health<\/a>. Also, that ice-cold water can help prevent you from becoming dehydrated. Aim for 6 to 8 glasses or bottles per day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exercise. Movement can help your colon respond, and stronger muscles make passing stool easier, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/diseases-and-conditions\/common-causes-of-constipation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harvard Health Publishing<\/a>. A daily brisk walk can help take care of the problem.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase your fiber intake with foods like oats, peas, carrots, and apples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask your doctor whether over-the-counter medications like Metamucil, Miralax, Docusate, and Senna are safe for you. Only take these as directed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have diarrhea:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Limit dairy, soft drinks, and alcohol. All can make diarrhea worse. Avoid foods like produce and baked beans while you\u2019re experiencing diarrhea.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stick to simple foods like oatmeal, plain rice, and boiled potatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check with your doctor to see if medications like Metamucil and loperamide might help your symptoms. Only use these as directed, and for a limited time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have abdominal discomfort:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Try sleeping&nbsp;on your left side. This can help ease any gas pains you might be experiencing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drink a cup of ginger tea. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and may ease pain, says <a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/how-to-get-rid-of-a-stomach-ache\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bottom line about GLP-1 side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding what works best for you in terms of easing GLP-1 side effects can take a little trial-and-error. When you do see improvement, stick with what works for you. This will make your weight management journey easier. And it make you feel much better every step of the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worried about managing GLP-1 side effects?
