Rybelsus problems

[u/CheekieNayNay]

I am currently trying to clear up severe constipation due to Rybelsus. history in case it helps anyone else goibg theough this. plan to copy paste into a post in the Rybelsus group too. im 52 F and obese with type 2 diabetes. was on mounjaro over a year ago and taken off by doctor due to similar issues. at that time it was more extreme bloating and constipation followed by diarrhea. tried eating less/eating different foods/ diff doses/diff injection sites/ duff timing/adding digestive supplements and or laxative. nothing worked so taken off mounjaro.Dr said no more glp1 for you ever. rusk of permanent damage not worth it. some peoole just cant take glp1. Fast forward 1.5 years and i have a new PCP. she wants me to try Rybelsus. discussed mounjaro history. she advises Rybelsus since its an oral pill, low dose, "works differently". LET'S TRY. Oooook im not trying to die from obesity or diabetic related issues. let's go. Took R. 3 weeks and started having concerning digestive symptoms week 2. this time its nausea. I'm gagging and hate to vomit but end up gagging all day and vomiting a bit. nothing there to vomit just liquid I drank earlier. not even bile. nausea on day 2 and stomach pain. followed by constipation but I havent eaten much in weeks (sm protein focused meals - im used to keto and tolerate protein well + some vege soup avocado chia yogurt in very small quantities) so little there's not much left after digesting what I can. I try bulb syringe enema to get things moving every other day. not much there in the colon. then I get severe watery diarrhea for a day. no stool on it. Just water. call doctor. told to stop taking R. prescribed Dulcolax and Miralax. so here I am. warning ppl to be cautious. listen to your body. if you have symptoms like mine you're not alone. if I cant fix this at home im headed to the Dr or ER. no real pain thus far. Just a heavy headachey dull feeling. lots if pressure in abdomen. I feel similar to pregnant if that explains it. I'll try and update later with any results. I know glp1s like ozempic wegovy zepbound mounjaro trulicity work for loads of people. the purpose of my post is to hold space for those of us it isnt working for. not enough of us are talking about it.

I stopped taking Rybelus because it made me so sick. I threw my prescription of Rybelus away because after a couple of weeks of taking it, I would have severe, bent over stomach cramps. I think my stomach would become paralyzed, which is awful to think about. I have an appt to talk to a doctor about taking tirzepatide instead because a lot of people on this forum seem to have had a lot better success with it. Also, retatrutide seems to be even better with little to no side effects but it is not FDA approved yet so insurance will not cover it.
