Has anyone felt that in the morning their stomach is more flat but after your first drink and meal you bloat more than usual? It's been odd seeing such a drastic difference between the morning and late afternoon.
 
Upped my dose this morning and I had bloat for first time this afternoon. Looks like I lost a lot of progress but hopefully temporary.
 
I suspect that it has something to do with the altered gut motility, slower digestion, allowing more time for gas to build up while the bacteria work on the fiber in the food that u've eaten. I think I had this when I started on 2mg of Reta. I'm down to a 1.5mg dose, so it's less noticable. Maybe it will calm down after a while. Just remembered that I was taking Gas-Ex when I started taking 2mg. Might be something to look into. Also started taking psyllium fiber to help with motility, kind of speeds things along, if u know what I mean.

Now that you mention it, yes. Hadn't really pegged it as a reta thing, I thought it was just me.

Same I finally caught on that this never happens usually especially after workouts im usually most flat. I was thinking what the guy said above maybe the gasses from the slowed digestion is causing it. Interesting now that I know its not just me.
 
Yes, I've been feeling this since I upped my dose to 4mg. I now have to be super careful of what I eat. Eating rich/fatty foods also gives me really bad reflux where before I would be fine. 😭 I thought it was because of me getting older but now I'm rethinking its the reta. Which is fine, I need to be eating healthier anyway. 🤣 Dang reta forcing me to make healthier choices. Tums is my best friend.

😂 for real but for me its everything im eating super clean I cant avoid it. Oh well its worth it for sure!
 
Or perhaps.. constipation (coupled with the slow gut motility)?

I personally did not experience this at all as I'm not constipated from reta.

Some folks react that way with mannitol, which is commonly used in lyophilized injectables like Reta.
 
Have not tried Reta, but Tirzepatide does that to me. I think it is the slowing of gastric emptying, your food just sits there and some things can even ferment.
