I recently upped dosage from 1.0 to 1.7 mg. I had not experienced any side effects on the lower dosages, but starting with the 1.7 I got 5 days of constipation followed by 3 days of diarrhea. I have heard this abates but not found any information on how long it takes. Anyone else have experience of this?

    I've had both issues since starting 4 months ago. I'm on Ozemic, 1.0mg.

    I've found it's useful to record my movements, and eat + drink fluids correctly in anticipation of any issues. Understanding how semaglutide works to slow your digestive system is crucial. Learn your body's triggers.

    Just took my 3rd injection. I've had the same symptoms of constipation then diarrhea. It's worse if I overeat. My plan this week is to increase water and fiber (gradually on the fiber!) , eat smaller meals and less fat. Hoping for improvement this week.
