Ozempic reversal?

Forgot to mention I was on on it for 3 and half months

I guess I don't really know or have any basis to speculate, but I just wondered what your doctor(s) may have suggested. Or you might have Googled or ChatGPT'd.

Just completely off the wall I'd ask if you see any progress at all that would help suggest optimism, or any suggestions from doctors or others of things that might promote progress.

I’m not sure I understand the concern. Ozempic is primarily a medication for diabetes, but you aren’t diabetic. Why was it prescribed for you? (A lot of people found it to be helpful for weight loss.) Why did you discontinue it? Gastroparesis can be a complication of diabetes; again you’re not diabetic. Are you thinking there is a connection between having been on Ozempic and your diagnosis of mild gastroparesis? Have you discussed your concerns with the prescribing Dr.?

@cehunt57 my doctor prescribed it for weight loss I do not have diabetes. I discontinued the drug because I couldn't handle the side effects anymore (I did not know how the medicine worked before I got my gastroparesis dx). I did share my concerns with my doctor and because I had no prior GI issues we are suspecting its from the ozempic because the problems started when I was on the medication.

@carbcounter AI just tells me there is hope for reversal because its medication induced but me being 4 months off already raises some red flags because it should have resolved already then it tells me that it can take months for hormones and nerves to go back to how they were before the medication. My GI doctor has told me there is some hope because gastroparesis 2nd ozempic is rare but there isn't enough data showing people recovering.

@wolfplur I am diabetic ((50+ years) and I have a fairly serious history of gastroparesis. A Mayo endocrinologist recommended Ozempic years ago when it was still fairly new. My local endocrinologist overruled that recommendation and prescribed something else. I researched Ozempic a bit at the time but did not realize gastroparesis is a rare but potential side effect. I’ve had gastroparesis for a very long time. It is now fairly well controlled but does act up from time to time. The most helpful treatment turned out to be dietary. It involves smaller (like a snack), more frequent (like every 2 hours), low fiber meals. It is tedious because I’m accustomed to 3 squares plus 3 snacks. High fiber is beneficial for blood sugar control; so I don’t like the low fiber idea. A few years back I was also diagnosed with diverticulosis / diverticulitis. That responds to high fiber! My primary advised me to experiment between high & low fiber to find a happy medium and what works best for me personally. Here’s hoping you can find what works for you to achieve optimal weight and keep gastroparesis beat down.
