How long does GLP-1 diarrhea last?

GLP-1 diarrhea usually comes in 1 to 2 day episodes around dose increases and fades as the gut adapts. Past 48 hours, call the same day.

GLP-1 pills and shots list the same gut reactions at similar rates. What differs is the empty-stomach rule and a daily, not weekly, curve.

Fatigue is a listed reaction on Wegovy and Zepbound, but most of it comes from eating, drinking and sleeping less. Each can be fixed.

Coffee is on no GLP-1 interaction list. What changed is the stomach it lands in: slower, emptier and more reactive than before.

About 2.7 L of water a day for women and 3.7 L for men, and on a GLP-1 less arrives in food, so drink a little more, with some salt.

A plateau on a GLP-1 is expected: every trial curve flattens in the later months as the body settles at a lower weight.

Appetite usually changes within weeks on a GLP-1, but weight follows the dose schedule. The first month is a starting dose.

Most people on a GLP-1 eat less protein than they need. How much, how to spread it over small meals, and why it protects muscle.

Bloating on a GLP-1 is usually a slow stomach that stays full, longer fermentation, swallowed air or held stool. It eases as you adapt.

Hair loss on a GLP-1 is usually telogen effluvium: fast weight loss pushes hairs into rest, they shed months later, then grow back.
