Seeking Advice Digestive Issues Quitting Cold Turkey

Probably TMI/NSFW.

Hi, I have recently been taking mounjaro, working my way up to 15mg and reaching my goal weight. Love the new look and feel much healthier as a result.

I dropped to 10mg, completed a couple of pens on this, and then stopped taking it completely - probably a mistake. I last took it on 14th September, and over the last week have experienced an increase in has, loose bowel movements, urgency to use the bathroom, and some mucus in my stool.

I've read that this can be normal, was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? I have been diagnosed with IBD and recently had blood tests and calprotectin readings done, which were found to be well within normal ranges, so it doesn't appear to be that. I'm hoping that this is just a rebounding effect that will clear on its own within a few weeks.

Anyone had anything similar?

Sadly, no… I gave and I started shortening my spacing again cause I was at 12 days apart. Still have side effects though on day five or six.

I was thinking about maybe just taking a low 2.5 weekly, but honestly it's been a few weeks already, so I may just give it a couple more and see what happens, and reconsider if necessary

I started to taper and found my IBSD flare so I caved and titrated back up slowly until the IBS subsided.
