tried reflux for 11 weeks. here is what happened.
Thinking out loud about this: tried reflux for 11 weeks. here is what happened.
11 weeks — those are the numbers, and they are the ones I am willing to defend.
Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.
The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.
If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.
best — the order this archive was captured in
A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 66 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.

iman_falk is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.
fatigue plus low intake is usually just low intake
What is intake actually looking like — fibre and water especially?

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.
Flair set to Question. Also the standing reminder that nothing on this board is medical advice.
Careful with the supplement recommendation. There is no evidence for it here and the mechanism you are proposing does not hold.
I would be careful here. "Everyone gets this" is not true, and it makes the people who get something unusual assume they are fine when they should be asking.
Right, and the hair thing is worth repeating: it tracks the rate of loss rather than the compound, and it stops.
if it is severe or persistent that is a clinician question, not a board question
Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and sulphur burps are the toll for the first fortnight
How long after a step up did this start?
