I have been having gas pains and take gasx but it’s not something I want to take all the time. Anyone tips? I’m on 1mg and it’s only been from this dosage I’ve had this.

I get these silly tiny burps pretty frequently but I wish I could just rip a hard fart more often because that gas is in there!

We Wegovians should all meet up for morning stretching time … “hot box yoga” — Last one to leave the room wins!

I had the same issue I just take GasX sorry I am a lady but I'd rather fart silently at home, in my car then be bloated. Now to make you laugh my mom passed away at 59 in 2018 and from a young age we would go to the store she'd say what's that horrible smell and Is saying Mommy did you fart again. Sometimes somebody would be coming up the aisle and she would hurry to the next aisle other times someone would come around to the next aisle and they'd give a nasty look and she would say you never or don't have kids we would laugh so hard. Just had to put it out there it was a good memory. Like I said bloating is no joke so I'd rather let it out then hold it in. 💨

I take simethicone (GasX) every morning now after I had unbearable pain that I thought was a heart attack, which turned out to be gas, but caused me to have a panic attack that worsened the symptoms. I got checked out by EMTs, and it took several hours to subside. The next day, it happened again. Then it happened 2 more times before I decided to take the pill every day preemptively. It hasn't happened since, and it's safe to use daily. This was way before I started Wegovy, but farting is good! Bloating and gas retention are not! Blast away, my friend.

Oooo in the morning! The box said at night or before meals. That makes more sense tho. I will try that thank you!!
And we are blasting for sure

Try a probiotic. I take a pre/pro/post biotic and it has helped with gas and sulfur burps. Edit: it could make things worse in some people, but I’ve had GI issues prior to starting and it has usually been resolved by probiotics.

reminded me to take my pre/pro biotics but didn't even know there's such thing as a post biotic, is it necessary for wegovy to have all three?
1
u/Red_Chickadee 1d ago
I doubt it, I just wanted a pre/pro and the combo I found at the store also had postbiotics and I figured, why not?

Do you take your probiotic at a different time than your shot?? Asking cuz I take probiotics for my IBS & Will be starting shots next week
2
u/Red_Chickadee 1d ago
I don’t take it at a different time, but I take the probiotic almost daily and the shot is only once a week.

Try cutting back on sugar alcohols or fiber heavy stuff for a bit, it helped me a ton.

There’s a few stretches you can do to relieve gas pains. I mean…. It all comes out when you do them 💨💨💨 but, you feel much better. I only had this on either 1 or 1.7 (i forget) and it dissipated with time.

u/Fantastic-Grape1603 1d ago
That’s good to hear! So far it’s only been on this dosage so far. Not sure why that is

Don’t eat high fat foods and stay away from raw veggies. Steak also might be a trigger.

Normally when I have the farts, I’m welcoming it with open arms to relieve the buildup of pressure. Burps and farts are friends these days!

😂 Sorry to laugh but the title is funny. I didn't have this experience. I'd even say I had the opposite... bc my digestion slowed down so much and I was eating so much less that I think digestive stuff wasn't happening as much.

Yeah I had pretty bad IBS till the day after I started Wegovy. I almost never fart now. This is a bigger deal for me than even the weight loss.
