Saving this for reference. Quality thread.
Slightly tangential to Constipation on GLP-1 but carlos_SATX reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
+1 to carlos_SATX. Especially the point about "A few questions about your Constipation ..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Constipation on GLP-1.

Verify Your PeptidesLipidDoc_ATL — that is really helpful context on Constipation on GLP-1. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer RickReta_CO's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Constipation on GLP-1 is an area where we have good evidence.
The short answer: baseline labs + quarterly monitoring is the standard of care.
The longer answer involves understanding the mechanism of action at the receptor level, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
