GLP-1 Nausea and Constipation Nutrition Philadelphia at W8MD Philadelphia

Managing common digestive effects

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal discomfort are recognized adverse effects of GLP-1–based medicines. Symptoms should be discussed rather than managed by unsupervised dose changes.

For mild nausea

Try smaller portions and slower eating.
Avoid lying down immediately after eating.
Identify foods that reliably worsen symptoms; high-fat or very large meals are common triggers.
Use the hydration plan recommended by the clinician.

For constipation

Review fluid intake, activity and gradually tolerated fiber.
Do not assume more fiber is always appropriate when intake is low, dehydration is present or symptoms are severe.
Ask before using laxatives or supplements, especially with kidney disease or interacting medicines.

Seek prompt medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, signs of dehydration, abdominal swelling, jaundice, fever, blood in stool or another alarming symptom.
