ummm been discussed 100 times on here, thats how they work lol for the most part. but most of these issues come from people jumping to a really high dose because they refuse to use the small dose and use life style interventions like diet and exercise to make big changes

Correct.

Also not getting it from a doctor that has a good knowledge of the how the drug works. The SO’s doc covered all of this. Encouraged him to continue with his probiotic, increase his fiber for motility assistance, and most importantly to exercise (which also increases gut motility).

He’s had some nausea and initially had some mild diarrhea but hasn’t run into constipation/blockage issues. He’s probably the most normal he’s been in decades in that regard. We’ve had a couple of hypoglycemic drops at night but he’s on a continuous monitor so it’s easy to get out in front of it.
